NJ TSA High School Competition Updates – 2018

Optical Engineering

There is no page limit for documentation.  There is no on-site presentation; Optical Engineering is a static event.  The design problem can be found here: https://njtsa.tcnj.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2018/01/2018-NJ-TSA-High-School-Design-Problems.pdf

Structural Engineering

The span between the two supports of the tester will be 14”.  NJ TSA will use a similar setup to the photo below, for testing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Locating Your Chapter’s Team ID#s 

Team ID#s must be included on Team LEAP Resumes and are also labeled on team competition entries.

Here’s how to find them:

In your State Conference registration (not your National TSA chapter affiliation), you’ll notice that each student’s individual ID begins with the same four numbers (e.g. 2150).  A team ID would be those first four numbers, then a dash, then 1, 2, or 3, to designate if it’s team 1, team 2 or team 3.  

Therefore, an example of a team number for a competition at the State Conference would be 2150-1. If an advisor were to submit another team for that same competition, it would be 2150-2. Advisors determine which students make up which teams.
