Hello all,
This is a friendly reminder that registration is closing for this year's student design challenge very soon.
Give your students a chance to design...
with the material (tools and hardware)
the material
or a hardware demo (product)
to demonstrate the benefits of implementing SMAs to a chosen application.
To name a few benefits to the students include: presenting their research at a professional conference, a chance to publish their research, network and receive technical advice from professionals in the industry, academia, and government!
Thanks,

With SMST 2022 nearly half a year from now, it got me thinking about the CASMART 5th year student design challenge! The challenges give students the task to design "the material" or designing "with the material" using SMA technology. Students have the opportunity to showcase their creativity by applying engineering theories and design principles, and leveraging CASMART and SMST members' experience to address SMA design challenges in aeronautics, astronautics, medical industry, energy, and else.
My experience with participating in the 3rd year challenges has led to many great opportunities with working with professionals in the SMA community. There is still time to sign up for this year so that your students can put their knowledge to the test while adding a unique experience to their resume.
Let us know about your experience. A few links are provided below:
