Encouraging the next generation of innovators to design, prototype, and implement sustainable engineering solutions that address real-world challenges specific to the Morris County community and its infrastructure.
The MCEP is a comprehensive, school-year-long engineering competition bringing together Morris County high schools. The event offers individual students or small teams (2-3 members) a unique framework to scale classroom concepts up into functional, real-world competitive installations.
At the close of the academic year, every project undergoes professional, rigorous evaluation by structural, hardware, and system design engineers. To ensure equal accessibility for all participant criteria, funding raw components, computational cores, specialized assemblies, and operations rests entirely on the shoulders of our local partners and donors.
Out of our total $10,000 target campaign, all raised capital will be distributed using a strict, structured financial sequence to ensure fair participant incentives and high civic community impact:
From our total campaign pool, the scholarship payouts are calculated and deducted first. Depending on final team compositions (individual or groups of up to three), this structural tier totals between $2,250 and $6,750.
Directly following the scholarship subtraction, a flat $2,000 is given to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ) to combat critical local food insecurity issues.
If the final outstanding balance sits above $2,000, half funds our immediate MHS Engineering raw items, while the remaining half establishes a financial headstart for next school year's competition team.
