This semester-long project teaches your team each step of the eTools ergonomics problem-solving process, from risk assessment to solution implementation.

Your first real world job will constantly bring unexpected, tight-deadline projects to your feet. Our lightning rounds will prepare you for these in a low-pressure environment, while also teaching interesting learning points on ergonomics.

Your team has 48 hours to prove how much it has learned in the Preliminary and Lightning Rounds by tackling a complex design project. Creativity and solid analysis must be balanced with efficiency to meet this limited timeline.

Each year, one team will win the eTools Prize, an expense-paid trip as our guest to a national ergonomics conference, along with $300 per member. The remaining teams also have chances for a cash prize, including the eTools Alternate, Top Five, and Honorable Mentions.
