Oral Defense
Teams receive two open analytical prompts requiring formal mathematical derivations, comprehensive boundary condition evaluations, and dimensional consistency verifications.
Manuscripts must incorporate fully reproducible numerical models, parametric sweeps, and convergence checks formatted in open-source computational notebooks.
Finalist rosters defend physical intuition, analytical assumptions, and error bounds during synchronous technical sessions before university faculty review panels.
Verified Institutional Integrity
Late submissions trigger automatic ledger disqualification without exception. Institutional advisors confirm active undergraduate enrollment before technical manuscript evaluation.
Review team eligibility requirements, faculty advisor verification protocols, and upcoming computational problem release dates before enrollment closes.
