Engineering competition announced
An opportunity to com-
ibine technical ability with,
creativity and communica- tion skills is being offered to engineering undergraduate students of the Atlantic pro-
‘ vinces with the introduction
of the first annual Atlantic Engineering Design Com- petition, to be held March 1-2, 1985, at the Technical
, University of Nova Scotia.
The competition is divided into four categories: Entre- preneurialDesign, Corporate Design, Explanatory Com- munications, and Editorial Communications.
Engineering students ‘may submit entries in any cate- gory, however, the flrst tow divisions usually involve a certain degree of technical expertise and thus are geared toward senior students. The latter tow may permit the students with less experience a chance to compete fairly, and for students of any level these two categories offer a chance to develop and pro- mote communication skills which arc an asset, in any professional career.
Each of the fOur divisions have first, second, and third cash prizes of $1000.00, $750.00, and $500.00 re spectively.
A similar competition has been held successfully in Ontario since 1980, and winner of the A.E.D.C. will proceed to compete in the first annual Canadian En- gineering Design Competition on March 22-23/ 85.
Financial assistance for participant accommodation is being arranged by the com- petition’s organizing com— mittee, a group of students at the Technical Unis ersity of Nova Scotia. _
