21. Chevron Design Challenge: Winning Strategies 1. Meet all Deadlines – You can’t win if items are turned in late. 2. Save Often & Safely on Desktop and USB – Every year, multiple teams lose all their work. 3. Bring a Team – You don’t need 3 quarterbacks; multiple skills are needed. 4. Practice – Use previous design briefs. 5. Keep it Simple – Don’t get hung up on a complex part; change it and move on!

22. Chevron Design Challenge: Winning Strategies 5. Design it so it Works – Engineers do not reward you for crazy creative ideas that won’t work. 6. Be Professional and Neat – These can influence the judges more than the scoring indicates. 7. Work as a Team – Everyone always working in parallel. 8. Presentations are Critical – Practice! Don’t read, use bullets, emphasize your design (not the design brief), use 2 presenters if 1 is weak. Practice before presenting. 9. Animations Must Work – Learn how to embed videos that will work when moved to a new computer.
