Student Design Challenge
Autodesk is partnering with educators and industry partners to offer design challenges that help students build their portfolios and apply learned concepts to real-world experiences. The Student Design Challenges provide an opportunity to step into the real world of design and learn by doing.
“This is a unique opportunity for students to get real-world engineering experience. For most students, this is the first time that they’ve worked on a design project that wasn’t just hypothetical. This project had an actual stakeholder. Therefore, students knew that their design had the potential to make a tangible impact. This also gives students the chance to develop skills that employers are looking for.”
- Elizabeth Cheung, Engineering Professor at Los Angeles Pierce College
“I enjoyed getting more familiar with Autodesk Fusion 360 and seeing the designs come to life. I truly believe this experience will help students in their future professional lives.”
- Monica de Loera, Manufacturing and Engineering student
The ability to 3D print almost anything in a matter of hours has opened the doors to quickly iterate designs and prototypes when working on projects in school. From completed items to parts that supplement your project, you can create almost anything with a 3D design and printer. For the 3D Printed Contest, students should show off what they are able to design in Fusion 360 and how they brought that design into reality.
Design a product in Fusion 360 to improve the back-to-school experience. You can design from any point of view: student, faculty, friend, or family. Examples may include dorm room decor, backpack accessories, improvements on existing classroom items, or anything else that helps in the transition back to school.
We are so impressed with the submissions from our previous challenges. Check out the finalists and winners from our past student design challenges.
Participants were challenged to design a product that assists in organization.
We’d love to talk to you about how to bring these challenges into your classes.
