As the Engineering Inpiration Award falls essentially as a subset of the Chairman's Award, if you focus on how your team fits the stated goal of the Engineering Inspiration award, you should be golden.

At some Regionals, Engineering Inspiration is essentially treated as second place Chairman's, in others, it's treated completely separately. If you know how judges at your regional treat the ward, you put yourself in a better position to win it.

Just emphasize your Engineering outreach, maybe with a scrapbook of the events your team has run/taken part in.
