Senior design team members – all EngSci 1T4 – Jun Tao Luo, Zane Luo, Aleck Wu and Ling Zhong celebrating their win at the provincial level.

Four EngSci students are heading to Calgary for the first-ever International Engineering Competition in September. The four, Jun Tao Luo (EngSci 1T4), Zane Luo (EngSci 1T4), Aleck Wu (EngSci 1T4) and Ling Zhong (EngSci 1T4), placed second in the senior design team category at the Canadian Engineering Competition. Another student, Amr Ahmed (IndE 1T3), placed third in the engineering communications category at the national event, held in Ottawa in March. The Canadian Engineering Competition is organized by the Canadian Federation of Engineering Students. The competition is now in its 28th year and saw 150 teams compete in seven categories – extemporaneous debate, consulting engineering, engineering communications, innovative design, junior design team, senior design team and re-engineering. Teams had to compete first at their own university and then at the provincial level, before heading to the national and finally the international championships. The competitions at all levels provide a chance for students to develop and hone their skills and impress their peers. Prior to the national competition, U of T Engineering students excelled at the provincial level, winning awards in five of the six competition categories, including three first-place wins. U of T winners at the provincial level were:
