Unique
40 Competitions 300+
Years of Students from
OEC
16 Across Ontario
Institutions of
Higher Learning
OEC is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the talents of
engineering students from across the province. Industry
representatives are encouraged to attend all aspects of the
competition, including banquets, build times, and the sponsor
marketplace. This provides ample opportunity for competitors to
network with professionals from a variety of engineering-related
industries. Additionally, this offers the chance for your organization
to attract accomplished and aspiring engineers.
In order for students to advance to OEC, each team must win
their respective university’s qualifier competition. Top teams from
across Ontario will move on to demonstrate their design skills,
communication abilities, and creativity at the OEC. The winning
teams from OEC will then move on to represent Ontario at the
Canadian Engineering Competition in March 2019, hosted by
the University of Waterloo.

A Message from the Dean
Dear Potential Sponsor,
The McMaster University Faculty of Engineering is delighted to host
the 40th annual Ontario Engineering Competition in January 2019. This
annual event will bring together and test the brightest engineering minds in
Ontario. Annually, the OEC attracts 300+ students, from all universities in
Ontario, who strive for excellence and innovation.
Ranked among the world’s top engineering schools, the
Faculty of Engineering plays a significant role in helping McMaster
University earn its reputation as one of Canada’s most innovative and
research-intensive universities. At McMaster Engineering, we are
committed to inspiring engaged citizen scholars who will transform
our world. As such, the Faculty of Engineering is committed to providing
our students with experiential learning opportunities through which they develop the skills to become
agents of change. Through undertaking multi-faceted projects, such as the planning and
hosting of engineering competitions like the OEC, and in participating in these rigorous competitions,
our students develop valuable teamwork, leadership and communication skills, resiliency and the ability to
integrate engineering concepts with business acumen.
We are offering strong support from the Faculty of Engineering and are confident that the
members of the McMaster Engineering OEC Organizing Committee have the requisite leadership,
experience, and internal supports in place, to ensure a successful and memorable competition. In
order to maximize the success of the 2019 Ontario Engineering Competition, the
organizing committee relies on your generous support. Please kindly join me in providing
students with this transformative opportunity.
As a sponsor, you will be given the opportunity to witness the next generation of engineers in
action. Your investment in the future of Canadian engineering will be greatly appreciated as we
strive to support the engineers of tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Ishwar K. Puri
Dean of Engineering and Professor

A Message From the Co-Chairs
On behalf of us and our organizing committee, we would like to thank
you and your company for taking the time to read over the contents of
this Sponsorship Invitation, and for your consideration in partnering with
the 2019 Ontario Engineering Competition (OEC) which will be hosted
at McMaster University in January of 2019.
McMaster University is honoured to be able to host the 40th
prestigious and province-wide Ontario Engineering Competition.
Drawing from across 16 institutions of higher learning, the OEC consistently
features hundreds of Ontario’s brightest and most innovative engineering
students. Our team of committed and hard working individuals is excited
for the opportunity to plan a memorable and challenging event.
This year’s rendition of the OEC will
be focused on the theme of ‘Urban Development’ to highlight the exciting
investment and work that is being done in the City of Hamilton. This will
challenge engineering students to design solutions that are needed to build
and sustain cities through technical and communicative means. To succeed, our
competitors will not only be looking to impress the judges to win their
respective competition, but some will also be young aspiring professional
engineers eager to network with potential employers and partners. This
weekend-long competition provides an excellent opportunity for you
and your company to interact with the most inspired and exceptional
crop of prospective engineers in the province.
The following package outlines the nature of all eight competitions and the different
opportunities your company has to partner with the 2019 Ontario Engineering Competition. Events
such as the OEC are fantastic opportunities for engineering students to gain valuable skills and
experiences they otherwise could not in the classroom. For these reasons we value your support
and contribution to positively impacting the future of engineering students and of the engineering
profession in the province of Ontario.
Thank you again for your time and consideration,
Keith Onderisin Thomas Siuda

Theme: Urban Development
Every year a new theme for OEC is chosen to
give the competition a unique and relatable
outlook. This year, the theme we have chosen is
Urban Development. This will shift our focus
towards the City of Hamilton, and all the
approaches being taken to make for a better
urban future. Hamilton is currently faced with a
set of new challenges as its economy grows to
include infrastructure development projects
alongside existing manufacturing and steel
production. This theme will focus the attention
of talented groups of engineering students
attending OEC 2019 towards Hamilton’s
initiatives that will spark their collective
creativity and imagination.

Why Sponsor Us?
NETWORKING
OEC provides an opportune environment for industry representatives to
network with engineering students, who will soon move into industry
themselves.
TALENT
Before reaching the OEC, each school hosts their own engineering
competition. Only first place teams from these preliminary events move onto
OEC. Each school sends their brightest and most innovative students to
compete. This allows sponsor companies to interact with and recruit future
employees.
PARTICIPATION
All sponsors are encouraged to partake in all aspects of the competition
weekend. Participation offers the chance for sponsors to give feedback to
competitors, as corporate representatives or category judges, and successful
industry professionals.
EXPOSURE & OUTREACH
OEC is one of the largest provincial engineering competitions in Canada,
showcasing your contribution to our success to more than 300 competitors.
Your company will be featured through various media including print, social
media, and our website. Sponsoring this event is a fantastic investment in the
continued success of engineering students in Canada.
