Students are provided professional engineering software to\ndevelop their solutions and will also generate presentations that convincingly\ndemonstrate the value of their solutions. The goal of the\nRWDC is to motivate and prepare students for Science, Technology, Engineering\nand Mathematics (STEM) fields. The\nRWDC is going into its twelfth year of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s virtual judging will be\naccomplished using Embry Riddle University\u2019s Eagle Vision through Adobe Connect\ntelecommunication system.&nbsp; In 2007,\nEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical University launched Eagle Vision, a virtual classroom\nthat combines Web video conferencing, audio, written, and a learning management\nsystem to amplify the benefits of synchronous learning. Eagle Vision may be\nused from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere you have a computer and\nthe Internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teams representing China, India, the Philippines, and the United States have been working on an engineering design for the past year and are prepared to compete virtually over two days in April. &nbsp;&nbsp;These students will present their solutions to challenge judges consisting of renowned engineering and scientists on April 25\/26. &nbsp;Despite travel restrictions due to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aviation-education"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15170"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15171,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15170\/revisions\/15171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
