March 29, 2016
This year's bracket challenge lets you help determine which of 32 outstanding collegiate engineering programs deserves to be recognized as our audience's favorite. Engineering students at the winning school will then all be allowed to enter a design contest to be held later this year. The winner of that completion, along with the second- and third-place finishers, will receive fabulous prizes and industry-wide recognition.
