Bentley 2010 Student Design Competition

Bentley Systems, the leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for the infrastructure that sustains our world, recently announced that the call for nominations for its 2010 Student Design Competition is now open.

University, technical college, high school, and middle school students are invited to submit projects designed using Bentley software, along with a short essay describing their work.

Project submissions will be judged by a distinguished panel of educational leaders and industry professionals from around the world.

The judges will focus on creativity and skill in applying design and engineering principles.

University and technical college students can submit projects in one of three categories: "Architectural Design," "Computational Design," and "Engineering."

Middle school and high school students can participate in the "Design a Medical Facility of the Future" category.

For each category, students must make clear the project's problem, intent, and solution, and support their design models with architectural or engineering drawings using any of the applications in Bentley's comprehensive portfolio of software.

Deadline for submissions is February 26, 2010.
