Engineering Competitions and Clubs give high school students the opportunity to research and design a solution to a problem. The engineering competitions take place during the school year and are coordinated by a high school teacher. After school engineering clubs provide an informal setting for exploring engineering design and are coordinated either with a high school teacher, undergraduate student or graduate student. These activities can provide modules for formal or informal curriculum development. Timeline for these activities vary.
