Abstract
This paper examines the role of design competitions in undergraduate engineering education. Emphasis is given to those competitions that are intended primarily to provide experience in engineering practice, and require a functional deliverable to be tested as part of the competition. Design projects in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Colorado State University are presented as a capstone course case study. The benefits of integrating design competitions into a capstone undergraduate experience are discussed
