Guidelines and Rules

The International Engineering Olympiad consists of two rounds: regional and international. Finalists from each region will advance to the international round.

Regional Round (Exam)

Regions are broken up into the following: 

​

  1. East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania

  2. Europe, Russia, and Central Asia

  3. Middle East, North Africa, Central and South Africa

  4. South America, Central America, Mexico, and the islands of the Caribbean

  5. North America

Topics Covered:

​

  • Classical Mechanics
     

  • Fluid Dynamics
     

  • Thermodynamics
     

  • Electricity & Magnetism
     

  • Structural Engineering
     

  • Systems Design
     

  • Logic & Mathematics

Format:

​

  • 30 questions, 90 minutes
     

  • Multiple choice, numerical input, and short answer
     

  • Online proctored platform

Sample Questions (Automotive Engineering) 

​

  • How does aerodynamic drag scale with speed?

​

  • Given a gear ratio and engine RPM, what is the wheel speed?

Evaluation Criteria:​

​

To move on to the international round you will be required to achieve a score of 95%.

International Round (Technical Solution Challenge)

Participants will choose one of three theoretical engineering prompts.

Solution Proposal Requirements:

​

  • Solve the issue presented
     

  • Include diagrams or schematics if applicable
     

  • Show full calculations and clearly stated assumptions (Can be handwritten)
     

  • Submit through a Typeform link before the deadline

Judging Criteria:

 

  1. Engineering Rigor
    Demonstrate strong technical understanding and correct application of laws, formulas, and system behaviors.
     

  2. Clarity and Structure
    Organize your work like a professional engineering report with defined sections: introduction, analysis, solution, and conclusion.
     

  3. Innovation and Creativity
    We value original approaches and design thinking, especially those that balance feasibility with inventiveness.
     

  4. Real-World Application
    Propose solutions that are scalable, cost-aware, and practical in real environments.
     

  5. Mathematical Modeling
    Use appropriate models, equations, and estimation techniques to solve the core challenge.
