October 6, 2009 -John (Pranav)Engineers,
Due to the numerous applications we recieve, the ESSS conducts a "mini-WEC" to decide who to send for WEC. This year mini WEC is being held on: Date: October 14th 2009 Time: 5:30 - 8:30 pm Venue: ASB Atrium Registrations are now open and the last date to Register is Oct 13th 2009, 11:59pm To register, email me (@ This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ). Please send me your name, group members (if required) and the category you want to apply for. On behalf of your friendly neighborhood student society, Pranav For more information on WEC, visit www.wec2010.ca . Additional Details on each category are given below: Senior Team Design In this category, third and fourth year students are confronted with an engineering design problem. Each team is given a week prior to the competition to research the given problem. Then, on the competition day, they have 12 hours to implement their solution with the materials provided. Junior Team Design Exclusive to first and second year students, the Junior Team Design category challenges teams of four students with a physical engineering problem. Each team is given four hours and the materials to come up with a solution to the given problem. Innovative Design This category requires the competitors to present an innovative and commercially viable solution to a problem of their own choosing. They are expected to carry out market research and feasibility studies as well as draft a business proposal for their product. The competitors are also required to promote their product at a booth for the public and other attendees of the competition. Consulting Engineering The Consulting Engineering category gives teams of four participants five hours to devise an innovative solution to a real-world problem prescribed by a hypothetical client. Each team is expected to assess the economic and social aspect of the problem and present a proposal to a hypothetical client. Engineering Communications In the Engineering Communication category competitors are asked to describe a technical subject in lay-man’s terms and present a structured analysis of its societal and environmental impacts. The competitors are judged on their presentation and verbal skills. Impromptu Debate The Impromptu Debate category challenges participants to defend, from a given viewpoint, a topic disclosed just before the debate. Each team is composed of two members and they are expected to present a structured defense of the assigned topic. September 21, 2009 -John (Mike)Fellow engineers!
