Schools must register for the contest in advance. Previous attempts have included parachutes, padded footballs, rubber chickens and rag dolls. This is the 50th National Engineers Week, held annually to showcase the work of engineers through fun and educational events. At UC Davis, the Engineering Joint Council, representing all the student engineering clubs on campus, organizes the events. This year, the egg-drop contest is being sponsored by the Society of Women Engineers and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
