Faculty & Staff, do you have students developing groundbreaking engineering solutions in your class or lab? If their work tackles a social, global, or sustainability challenge with strong market potential, they could be contenders for the prestigious James Dyson Award—an international engineering design competition that celebrates inventive problem-solving.

  • Global Recognition: Let’s showcase the amazing work that our students do to the rest of the world.
  • Funding Opportunities: Winners receive $6,000–$35,000 in prize money to advance their ideas.
  • Career Acceleration: Past winners have leveraged this award to launch startups and attract investors.

Eligible projects must demonstrate an iterative design process, offer a unique solution with real-world impact, and stand apart from existing alternatives. Academic course projects qualify—so long as they were not part of a sponsored program.
