Electric Mobility Canada (EMC) is pleased to announce its Seventh Annual Student Competition open to undergraduate engineering teams from Canadian Universities and Colleges. Teams will be asked to resolve an electric vehicle (EV) related question. The question will have technical elements related to “Integrated e-Mobility” which is the theme of EV2018VÉ to be held April 24-27, 2018 in Ottawa, Ontario. Participants will have 12 days to assess the question and conduct their research. Each team is to prepare a 10-minute presentation of their solution and explain their conclusions.

A maximum of five teams will be selected to participate in this year’s event. All teams will be notified by e-mail of the selected participants and will receive the problematic to be solved by March 10, 2018. 

Each team’s response will be due on March 22, 2018 at 4:00PM Eastern Standard Time. The document must be a PowerPoint. 

The 10-minute presentation from each team, either on site at the conference or via video conference, will take place at the École Polytechnique de Montréal, on March 26, 2018 at 9:00AM. (Exact location to be provided to all the teams via email.) 

Adjudication Panel

An adjudication panel comprised of EV industry representatives will judge the presentations. The panel expects to address one specific question to each of the participating teams. The adjudication panel will evaluate the presentations, determine the winning team in the competition and provide feedback to the participating teams. The competition results will be announced as part of the EV2018VÉ Awards Luncheon on April 26th, 2018 at noon at the Westin Ottawa, ON.
