A team of students from the Tuskegee University College of Engineering won third place at the 5th Annual Advancing Minorities Interest in Engineering (AMIE) Design Challenge. The competition invites student teams from each of the 15 ABET-accredited HBCU Schools of Engineering to develop, implement and present solutions to specified design problems.

Students were tasked with proposing solutions for a general design problem: “How might we design a solution to improve the quality of life in the areas of Clean Water, Urban Infrastructure, Clean Energy, Transportation, and access to High-Speed Internet?”
The Tuskegee team’s winning design was an app to enable a more cost-effective alternative to Uber/Lyft for college students in rural areas without access to public transportation. The College of Engineering has won the most at the annual design competition, having secured a winning spot at three convenings in 2018, 2021, and 2022.
