Crab cakes and football, that's what Maryland does!" (Abrams, Levy, Panay, & Dobkin, 2005). Although the Old Line State is notorious for harvesting delectable blue crabs, the movie "Wedding Crashers" failed to highlight something else Maryland does well: engineering design competitions. This article discusses how a multistate engineering design challenge raised science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) awareness through collaborations with university, U.S. military, community, and industry partners. The design challenge presented here tasked students with designing a remote-controlled, scaled model of a crab boat. Their boat had to maneuver within a Chesapeake Bay course and collect as many miniature crab baskets as possible as quickly as possible. An event highlight video and other resources are available on the competition website (UMES, 2016). The authors also provide recommendations to develop similar engineering design challenges.
