1. Annual Theme and Scenario Topics

Annual Theme

Focused on a new theme each year, original academic and innovative concepts are developed for the TEAMS competition based on the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, or other engineering challenges. Undertaking these challenges requires critical job-readiness skills, such as collaboration, analytical thinking, and multi-dimensional problem solving. The 2024 TEAMS theme is “Engineering Another World.” 

Scenario Topics

Scenario topics relating to the 2024 theme will be featured in the multiple choice portion of the 2024 competition. Each team will be assigned a combination of four scenario topics with ten questions each for a total of 40 questions.

One-page overviews of each of the scenario topics with web links will be available in October in the coach online account, once the coach has completed TEAMS registration.
