Where to find design challenges?
I am an aspiring design mechanical engineer looking for a way to hear about design challenges. Do you know if there are listservs or websites that advertise all the design challenges released?

Check out this link for the U.S. Global Development Lab. They sponsor design challenges in diversified areas of expertise. There is financial backing for winning designs. I just saw it on the news last night. They showed the designers who worked on making a better suit to protect health care workers from Ebola virus. It was really interesting. Seems like one time when the government is working to make our lives better. I’m sure that there are plenty of engineering challenges out there to be worked on.

It is sponsored by USAID-
USAID is the lead U.S. Government agency that works
to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient,
democratic societies to realize their potential.
If I see any other design challenges I’ll let you know but this looks like an excellent one to pursue. There seems to be a collaborative spirit to it that appeals to me.
