Parker Hosts Engineering Student Challenge

The “Stretch Your Mind” engineering challenge by Parker Hannifin Corp. gives university students an opportunity to design and create original market solutions utilizing Electroactive Polymer (EAP) sensor technology. In addition to a cash prize, winning teams are eligible for an International Engineering Experience, where they will work with research teams at Germany’s Saarland University to continue their work with EAP. Students create a team of up to five members to develop an application using EAP. The challenge focuses on new technologies, smart materials, entrepreneurship, and product engineering.
