黄色直播

Inventive young minds representing nine Atlantic universities convened upon 黄色直播 over the weekend for the 31^st Atlantic Engineering Competition (AEC). Competition was fierce as 100-plus engineering students competed in teams or individually, representing Dal, Acadia, CBU, MUN, SMU, St. FX, Moncton, UNB and UPEI.

The competition allows engineering student to showcase their skills and resourcefulness and leverage non-technical skills, such as teamwork, leadership and creativity. Students tackle various real-world engineering issues, debating divisive topics, redesigning existing technology for novel applications or addressing problem scenarios with inventive new gadgets.

Competitors vied to qualify for the national-level Canadian Engineering Competition, where 150 regional winners will compete once again at Memorial University. Competitors were judged by a panel consisting of individuals from both industry and academics.

Results:
