The goal of the programming category is to encourage engineering students to produce a piece of industry-quality software with all of the proper user and administrative documents. The teams will use their software development skills, their technical writing abilities, and their project management skills to design a solution to a posed problem. This solution will then be presented to company executives (judging panel) for approval. The winning solution will not necessarily be the most technically correct but the one that has the most real-world application and is most thoroughly thought out.
