Named in honor of Thomas Engibous, the recently retired Chairman of Texas Instruments, the Engibous Prize makes first-, second-, and third-place cash awards to teams of engineering students who incorporate either three TI analog devices or two TI analog devices and a TI processor in their senior project designs.
In the Analog Design Contest, you compete with other teams from your school. The first-place winning team at each school that has at least 3 teams enter and complete the contest requirements will be automatically entered into the contest for the Engibous Prize. In this contest, you will be competing with top teams from schools across North America for larger cash prizes:
- First Place: $10,000
- Second Place: $7,500
- Third Place: $5,000
All cash prizes are split among winning team members.
The judging criteria for the Engibous Prize award are the same as for the Analog Design Contest. (See #5 on the How to Enter the Contest page.) However, we remove the student and school names from all projects and use different judges to ensure there is no bias in the selection of winners. A panel of TI, industry, and academic judges will present the awards to the engineering teams who demonstrate the highest level of engineering analysis, originality, quality and creativity in designs featuring TI analog integrated circuits.
The Engibous Prize is awarded in the late June/early July timeframe. Top teams will be invited to Dallas to present their projects in poster sessions.
