Students are judged on the design of their contraption, including its weight, ease of use and creativity. Competitors typically attempt to create a device that can. First- through third-place winners will be named in elementary, middle and high school categories. The egg drop contest is an experiment usually performed by college or primary school students. Students must use approved materials to design their contraption, which must fit in a container no larger than 2 feet on a side. Physical demonstrations showcasing science, technology, engineering and math at UAB will also be available from different engineering departments at UAB and Vulcan’s history personnel. The event began in 1989 to promote engineering education and inspire the next generation of Alabama engineers. “Each year, upward of 400 students have the opportunity to achieve the impossible through this thoughtful and inspirational STEM activity.” “Our objective is to inspire engineering thought and design in students,” said Zoë Penko, student in the UAB Department of Mechanical Engineering and ASME president.
The 29th Annual UAB American Society of Mechanical Engineers Brent Newman Memorial Egg Drop Contest is set for Friday, April 6, from 9:15 a.m. Birmingham-area students are being challenged by the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Engineering to design an apparatus that will protect a raw egg from breaking as it is dropped from the top of Vulcan’s 100-plus-foot pedestal. Keywords: engineering challenge, scientific method, rockets, moon, Newton's laws, engineering design process, moon, Mars, acceleration, vector, trajectory, potential energy, kinetic energy, LCROSS: 15-30 Minutes: 1 Hour: Basic: Spacecraft.
