CAD Design Scholarship Competition
2010-2011
If any student in our area is interested in tackling this year's problem offered on the NAWIC website as a school or personal project, the link is http://www.nawiceducation.org/sites/dsp/dsp_submenu.cfm?menuid=350.
Interested Schools and Instructors are encouraged to contact us for the 2010-2011 competition as soon as possible! We need to have you on board so that your students can hit the ground running. Participants need to be identified and their names submitted by early January 2010 Due dates for the projects are in early to mid March.
The new problem for the coming year is always available on the website in May.
The CAD/Design/Drafting Competition is a contest designed for senior high students. The contest provides recognition to students for creative design, successful problem solving and craftsmanship in preparing architectural drawings. Entries are evaluated for detail, accuracy and originality of work. Objectives of the contest are to introduce the student to the construction industry in a positive and challenging manner, while fostering a sense of self worth and building confidence. Mentoring programs between students and educators are also encouraged. Each local sponsor is furnished with a "Design Problem" that is designed by a licensed Architect or Engineer and is generic enough to meet the needs of all areas of the US and our international affiliates. Project drawings must include a minimum: a floor plan, exterior elevation and site plan and placement of structure. National winners receive prizes.
