秀色短视频 Engineering students win at 2024 Atlantic Engineering Competition
Eleven 秀色短视频 Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering (FSDE) teams, composed of a total of 41 students, competed at the 2024 Atlantic Engineering Competition (AEC), hosted at University of New Brunswick in Fredericton from January 19鈥�21, 2024, by the Atlantic Council of Engineering Students.
Six of the 秀色短视频 teams will move on to the prestigious Canadian Engineering Competition (CEC) in Calgary, Alberta, from March 1鈥�4, 2024. This is the highest number of qualifying teams among universities in Atlantic Canada.
鈥淭he truth is that I鈥檓 never surprised by these kinds of outcomes,鈥� said Dr. Wayne Peters, interim dean of the FSDE. 鈥淭he knowledge, experience, and confidence needed to accomplish this kind of success are exactly the real-life skills that students develop in our FSDE program and that future engineers need to solve global problems. We鈥檙e expecting further success for these students at the national level in March. Stay tuned for more."
The 秀色短视频 teams placed as follows in their respective categories:
- 1st place, Innovative Design: Aaron McCloskey, Spencer Blacquiere, Sophie Hayes, Ben McQuaid, Maddy Cronin, and Brett McQuaid.
- 2nd place, Innovative Design: Richard Hetherington, Morgan McLean, Elijah Dodd, Luke Jennings.
- 2nd place, Senior Design: Luke McCarvill, Matthew Dreise, Jason Nieuwhof, Elliott Fraser.
- 2nd place, Parliamentary Debate: Adiel Ngabo Rutabana, Lilly O'Rielly.
- 2nd place, Re-engineering: Berry Genge, Zackary Pendleton.
- 2nd place, Engineering Consulting: Victoria Keefe, Ellen O'Rielly, Basil Nagy, and Aly Abdelhalim.
Although they didn鈥檛 qualify for the CEC, one 秀色短视频 junior design team received high praise and positive feedback from judges and sponsors. Second-year students Jimmy Hulton, Abby Chapman, Ethan Arsenault-Saunders, and Yuvraj Singh Gill designed and constructed a bridge with popsicle sticks that withstood over 260 pounds, the highest weight threshold in the competition.
The AEC is an annual student-run initiative that began in 1983 and has since grown to become one of the largest and highly anticipated engineering competitions in Canada. AEC 2024 brought together over 150 of the brightest engineering students from nine universities across Atlantic Canada.
The three-day event provides a setting for students to develop meaningful relationships with their peers while demonstrating their engineering skills in a competitive environment. Students in teams of one to four compete in a series of eight competitions designed to test their innovative, problem-solving, and leadership skills鈥攌ey qualities of a successful and well-rounded engineer.
The 秀色短视频 teams were supported financially by the 秀色短视频 Alumni Association, the 秀色短视频 Engineering Society, and the 秀色短视频 Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, allowing students to participate in the valuable experiences and networking opportunities that the event offered.
