Manufacturing engineers seeking judging work:

• SAE: ask about Baja, Formula, Aero Design, report judging, or inspection.

• FIRST Robotics: Judge and Robot Inspector roles.

• University capstones: contact the engineering capstone coordinator.

• IISE chapters: ask about student paper or project review.

Avoid paid placements. Save the invitation, selection reason, rubric, work reviewed, score sheets, program, and completion proof.

Evidence row: invited to evaluate engineering work → proof: possible university role → gap: no appointment, selection basis, rubric, or completed reviews → next: get the event name, selection reason, work reviewed, dates, and completion proof.

Counsel should decide how it fits an O-1A case.
