4. It is advisable for contestants to bring their

system software and the software they will be using for the contest in case they have setup trouble.

There will be technicians on the floor the

day of setup to assist contestants if they need help with cables, software, drivers, etc. Contestants renting computers can get help at that time.

SCOPE OF THE CONTEST The contest will focus on the application of appropriate entry-level technical drafting skills to solve visualization and presentation problems of a mechanical nature as designed by the national technical committee.

Knowledge Performance The contest will include a written exam that assesses technical drafting general knowledge (see standards and competencies).
