European BEST Engineering Competition (EBEC) is a project conducted by Board of European Students of Technology (BEST), gathering best European students of engineering. With EBEC Project BEST tries to raise the social awareness of all the students in relation to present-day world problems and involve them into resolving those ones. Project brings together students, universities, companies and NGOs (Non Governmental Organisations).
Students are offered to participate in these categories:
Team Design: the competitors need to build a device, that has to perform the needed actions in order to solve a given problem;
Case Study: it's a more abstract competition which consists of analysing and solving a real-life problem with no actual construction of any device or assembling of some materials, but using the information given to develop hypothetical solutions
Mainly, only these two categories are presented on EBEC final. Students gather in teams of four people.
Case Study is the category where students can explore their analytical and economic skills in technology sphere.
Team Design at this point concentrates on creation of engineering constructions regarding presented problem.
EBEC pyramid represents the three levels of Competitions:
- First level - Local BEST Engineering Competition (LBEC) - is held within one University and organised by one Local BEST Group (LBG). Winners of this level go to the next one.
- Second level - Regional/National BEST Engineering Competition (RBEC/NBEC) - is held within one region/country and organised by one of the LBGs from that region/country. Winning teams go to the next, last, level of Competitions.
- Third level - European BEST Engineering Competition Final event (EBEC Final) - involves students from more than 80 universities represented in BEST and the winners are awarded the honorary title of best European engineers.
List of all R/NBECs: EBEC France EBEC Baltic EBEC Central EBEC Benelux EBEC Poland EBEC Turkey EBEC Italy EBEC Nordic EBEC Spain EBEC Romania & Republic of Moldova EBEC Portugal EBEC Greak EBEC Ukraine So at a firstly, you must apply for local competition on your University and cross that level.
