Historical NoteReturn to Top
The student Competition on Relevant Engineering (SCORE) was established in 1971 by engineers in colleges and universities to sponsor national intercollegiate engineering design/hardware fabrication competitions. SCORE grew out of the Clear Air Car Race of 1970 which was one of the first project-oriented approaches to engineering. Two subsequent competitions sponsored by SCORE were Students against Fires (1973-1975), and the 1976-1977 Energy Resource Alternatives (ERA I and ERA II). Washington State University first participated in a SCORE competition during the 1973-1974 school year. The Department of Mechanical Engineering sponsored a team of students who took part in the Students Against Fires competition. During the next few years, Washington State University became much more active in the organization and hosted the 1977 Summer Symposium at Richland, Washington. SCORE's membership is international in nature, and it extends invitations to qualified high school groups to participate in the competitions.
