Mission Statement

The College of Technology, Architecture and Applied Engineering is committed to helping anyone who wants to earn a college degree. That includes first-year students directly out of high school; transfers from other college institutions; distance learners who wish to complete a degree program; and graduate students seeking a challenging program in the next chapter of their higher education journey.

Description

How does the competition work?

There are two parallel competitions associated with the BEST program -- the robotics competition and the BEST Award. For the robotics competition, each participating school is provided an identical kit of equipment and parts, a set of game rules, and given six weeks to design, build, and test a Remote Controlled robot that outperforms other robots. Engineers, University faculty members, and other technical professionals from local industry serve as team mentors, advising and guiding students throughout the design and construction of their robot; however, students perform all of the work.

In addition to the robotics competition, students compete for the BEST Award, which is presented to the team that best embodies the concept of "Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology." The 5 elements of the BEST Award include:

  • Project Engineering Notebook
  • Marketing Presentation
  • Team Exhibit and Interview
  • Spirit and Sportsmanship
  • Robot Performance

The BEST Award competition is optional for schools.
