European BEST Engineering Competition (EBEC) is the largest real-time based engineering competition conducted by Board of European Students of Technology (BEST), gathering best European students of engineering. With EBEC Project BEST aims to develop participants skills thus not only theoretical knowledge also their practical knowledge which will help them to tackle problems which humanity faces ea
ch day. Project brings together students, universities, companies and NGOs (Non-governmental organizations). Students are offered to participate in these two categories:
Team design: is a category which competitors can use their practical skills to design. Competitors need to build a functional device regarding to a technical problem given in a limited amount of time and resources. Case study: is the category about analytic and economic skills. CS category is more conceptual competition which consists of solving a theoretical, technical or a managerial problem occurring in real life or industry. Participants develop hypothetical solutions with no actual construction of any device or assembling of some materials, but using the given information. Mainly, only the first two categories are offered on BECs (BEST Engineering Competitions) and there are only these two categories presented on EBEC Final. The project welcomes teams in group of four, who are currently enrolled in an educational programme where an EBEC round is present. EBEC pyramid represents the three levels of Competitions:
First level - Local BEST Engineering Competition - is held within one University and organised by one Local BEST Group (LBG). Second level - Regional/National BEST Engineering Competition - is held within one region/country and organised by one of the LBGs from that region/country. This level has 15 Regional/National BEST Engineering Competition
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 87 leading universities represented in BEST and the winners are awarded the honorary title of best European engineers. This year EBEC Balkan- Regional round of EBEC will be hosted by LBG Belgrade from 18th to 22nd June
The region consists of LBGs: Nis, Skopje, Sofia and Belgrade.
