The European BEST Engineering Competition (EBEC) is a project conducted by the Board of European Students of Technology (BEST), gathering the best European students of engineering. EBEC Project BEST tries to raise the social awareness of all the students in relation to present-day world problems and involve them in resolving those ones. The project brings together students, universities, companies and NGOs (non-governmental Governmental Organisations).
Concept[edit]
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 the EBEC final. Students gather in teams of four people. Case study is the category where students can explore their analytical and economic skills in the technology sphere. Team Design at this point concentrates on the creation of engineering constructions regarding the presented problem.
EBEC Pyramid[edit]
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.
