By working together to solve technical and ethical challenges, future engineers develop important skills for the workplace that supplement their university education. The 2026 Ethics in Engineering Competition requires student competitors to present a competitive solution to an RFP issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The NobelNet RFP asks teams to present solutions for national defense command, control and communication software. NobelNet must integrate Edge AI into threat detection and response in compliance with the DoD Ethical AI Principles. Teams are required to present their solution and win over the judges for presenting a solution that best meets requirements and solves the technical, ethical, and programmatic issues involving the CISA NobelNet RFP. Embry-Riddle Prescott students will compete with other students nationwide while networking with Lockheed Martin mentors, and developing important workplace skills: Navigating conflict, voicing ethical values, and communicating technically and professionally.
