Ever had an opinion? Ever designed something? Ever
wanted to win ca$h for doing so? Annually, cash prizes
are awarded at the Western Engineering Competition &
Conference (WECC) for editorial communications (ie.
having an opinion and talking about it for half an hour),
explanatory communications (ie. explain the technical in
layperson's terms), entrepreneurial design (ie. making
something), and corporate design (ie. making something at
work). Having attended WEEC previously, I can assure that
many of the winners are nothing to marvel at, and I would
strongly encourage everyone not to delete the emails
begging for entries next year! The EUSS generally covers
all but $100 of the cost, and you get to keep all of your
winnings. Plus, if you are fortunate enough to finish first
or second in your category, you will advance to the Canadian
Engineering Competition (CEC) for a chance to win more ca$h.
Not bad for some course work that you will have stuffed in
the closet months before!
While it is too late to attend this year, because WECC
happens around the end of January/beginning of February,
everyone should (especially those of you in project courses
such as Ensc370, and research paper course like Ensc 100,
305) save up projects, research papers, and opinions for a
chance at a fun filled and potentially financially prosperous
week at WECC.
