EBEC - European BEST Engineering Competition

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).

Concept

Students are offered to participate in these four 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 the first two categories are offered on BECs and there are only these two categories 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

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. This level has 13 Regional/National BEST Engineering Competition (RBEC/NBEC).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.
