Re-Engineering
Monday, November 6th, 2023, from 14:00 - 21:00
Technology evolves so quickly that it needs constant re-adaptation. The re-engineering competition aims to test participants, in teams of two, at making existing products better at answering new needs. Solutions will be presented to a jury, allowing participants to not only demonstrate their imagination and technical skills but also their communication and analytical skills.
Innovative Design
Tuesday, November 7th, 2023, from 17:00 - 21:00
The innovative design competition has no theme but allows you to use creativity to create an innovative product that answers a problem in society or a need.
Scientific Communication
Wednesday, November 8th, 2023, from 19:00 - 21:00
This competition highlights the Engineer’s ability to communicate their knowledge in a clear and concise way. The scientific communication competition allows participants, alone or in teams of two, to demonstrate their communicative skills by clearly explaining a complex engineering subject. Presentations are evaluated by a jury.
Debates
Thursday, November 9th, 2023, from 18:00 - 21:00
The oratory debate competition shines the spotlight on future engineers entangled in verbal jousts, arguing with tact, eloquence, and repartee. In this competition, participants face off in teams of two and develop their argument on the spot over a position and a theme that is decided for them.
Consulting
Friday, November 10th, 2023, from 14:00 - 21:00
During this prestigious challenge, teams of four participants have 4 hours and 30 minutes to come up with a complete and sustainable solution to a complex problem. Their solutions must then be presented to a jury, emphasizing the participants’ oratory and persuasion skills.
Junior Design
Saturday, November 11, 2023, from 9:30 - 19:30
This competition is reserved to participants who have accumulated less than 60 credits towards their bachelor’s degree. The goal of Junior Design is to create a functioning prototype that solves a problem the team is presented with on the day of the competition. Upon completion, teams will be asked to demonstrate the usefulness of their solution by testing their prototype in front of an audience.
Programming
Saturday, November 11th, 2023, 2023, from 9:00 - 19:30
The programming competition makes teams use their software development skills, their technical writing abilities, and their project management skills to design a solution to a posed problem.
Senior Design
Sunday, November 12, 2023, from 9:00 - 20:00
This competition, planned for teams of four people, is typically reserved for students who have accumulated at least 60 credits towards their bachelor’s degree. Teams registered in this category have 8 hours to create a prototype of a solution to the problem they are presented with on the day of the competition. Upon completion, teams will be asked to demonstrate the usefulness of their solution by testing their prototype in front of an audience.
