Atlantic Engineering Competition
The Atlantic Engineering Competition (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. The competition will bring together 150+ of the brightest engineering students from 9 universities across Atlantic Canada. The 3-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 1-4 compete in a series of 8 competitions designed to test their innovative, problem-solving, and leadership skills – key qualities of a successful and well-rounded engineer. Winners of the AEC 2023 will represent the Atlantic Region at the prestigious Canadian Engineering Competition (CEC), where they will pit their skills against winners from similar regional competitions across Canada.
The different categories for this competition are as follow:
