INTRODUCTION
The theme for this semester’s
student challenge is environmental sustainability. Environmental
sustainability has many different definitions, but the UN defines it as
acting in a way that ensures future generations have the natural
resources available to live an equal, if not better, way of life as
current generations.
The challenge objective for this semester is
to develop an original concept for a product, service, software, or a
combination of the three that addresses an environmental issue. Project
submissions should detail the unique value proposition and show evidence
of demand. At the challenge exhibition teams are expected to give an
in-depth presentation and show off their concept/prototype to a panel of
UMD Professors and senior Northrop Grumman employees. Points will be
awarded for innovation, ingenuity, and overall technical achievement.
