The Quarter Scale team is a student organization formed to compete in the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) student engineering-design contest. The design contest is structured to help develop both design and big-picture thinking skills. According to ASABE's website, "[a] panel of industry experts ... judge each design for innovation, manufacturability, serviceability, safety, sound level, and ergonomics."
The competition includes a written design report, which is submitted in advance of the competition. During the event, students play the role of a corporate management team and present their entry to industry experts. They also participate in a performance demonstration that includes three tractor pulls. “Students gain practical planning, design and fabrication skills that can’t be acquired from the normal classroom experience,” said Tim Smith, UK engineer associate
