DESCRIPTION:IEEE UBC Engineering Design Team (EDT) Competition\n\nThe IEEE UBC Student Branch\, in collaboration with UBC Sailbot\, is proud to host the Engineering Design Team (EDT) Competition\, an 8-hour high-intensity d esign challenge bringing together some of UBC’s most technically driven students.\n\nThe EDT Competition challenges participants to develop innova tive solutions around the theme “A Better Tomorrow.” Students will wor k in teams across three design tracks:\n\n-\nSoftware Track algorithm deve lopment\, AI\, and system design\n\n-\nMechanical Track CAD and mechanical system design\n\n-\nElectrical Track circuit design and ECAD\n\nParticipa nts will collaborate under time pressure to design\, and present engineeri ng solutions\, which will be evaluated by judges from industry and academi a.\n\nThis event attracts highly motivated engineering students\, many of whom are active members of UBC’s engineering design teams and upper-year technical programs.\n\nEvent Details\n\nDate: March 21\, 2026\nDuration: 8-hour design competition\nLocation: UBC Engineering Student Centre (ESC)\ n\nRegistration: [Sign up
