Academic Technical Bowl
Formerly known as Battle of the Engineers, Academic Technical Bowl (ATB) is a Jeopardy style quizbowl preparing students for questions similar to that of the FE exam. Each chapter can submit a team of 4 - 5 members to answer as many questions as possible. Questions are multiple choice, ranging from general engineering to history of famous scientists.

NSBE Debaters
NSBE Debaters is a relatively new competition this year that pits teams against each other in a battle of wits. Using parliamentary debating style, teams of three will research and create arguments about a topic of social relevance. Download the Info Packet to get more information about the structure of the competition.
​
Elevator Pitch
This competition focuses on the business idea without the details of implementation. The Elevator pitch should convey your vision of the potential of your idea. It should answer the basic questions: What’s the problem? How does your idea solve the problem? What’s needed to make your idea become reality?
Individuals have the opportunity to meet and network with other NSBE entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and business experts who will serve as judges for the competition.
