Hi. You’re here—and we're glad for it—so you must have seen our posters, flyers, or cards announcing our Analog University Design Contest and the Engibous Prize.

To enter the TI Analog University Design Contest, you must be part of a team with a minimum of 2 members working on your senior project in engineering at one of the following universities:

For your project to be eligible, you must use either 3 different analog ICs in your design or 2 analog ICs and a TI processor (DSP, OMAP, or MSP430). At the end of the semester, you turn into us the same project report you turned into your professor, adding a page describing the TI ICs you used and how they benefited your design. It’s just that simple.

There are two phases to this contest. In Phase One, you compete with other teams from your school for a $1,500 cash prize. In Phase Two, the first-place winning team at your school competes with schools across North America for a $10,000 cash prize. All cash prizes are split among winning team members.

  • Contest at Your School: Assuming at least one team enters the contest and completes the contest requirements, there will be a $1,500 first-place prize awarded at your school. There will be a 2nd place prize of $500 if 3 or more teams from your school enter and complete the contest requirements.
  • Regional Contest for Engibous Prize: The first-place winners at each participating school in North America where at least 3 teams completed the contest requirements will be automatically entered into a contest for the Engibous prize. The first-place team will win $10,000, 2nd-place will win $7,500, and 3rd-place will win $5,000. These prizes are in addition to the $1,500 you’ve already won at your school.
