HELLO INDUSTRY PARTNERS
Welcome to WEC 2019! Our organizing committee, the University of Manitoba, and the Faculty of
Engineering is excited to host this amazing competition. Our goal is to provide students, faculty,
and spectators with an exciting, competitive, and professional event that promotes teamwork,
creativity, and innovation. The competition is the largest engineering event in Western Canada
By partnering with us you will be assisting in alleviating the required logisitical, planning, and
our support will go directly into
making sure that this event is a true success and provides students with a worthwhile experi-
ence. Every engineering student attending the event will be aware of your generous support
and attribute your name with fond memories. However, recognition isn’t the only value in your
sponsorship; you will most importantly be supporting the students through allowing this event to
happen. Your generous donation will go towards ensuring that students have the opportunity to
test their knowledge and technical skills learnt throughout their degree. This will allow students
network with peers. All together, making more competent and successful future engineers to
solve society’s problems.
If you share in our goal to strengthen engineering education and provide an amazing competi-
tion at the same time, then please continue reading through this package to discover the levels

Dear Potential Sponsor:
Re: 2019 Western Engineering Competition
The University of Manitoba Engineering Society (UMES) will host the 2019 Western Engineering Competition
(WEC) here in Winnipeg. This event provides an excellent opportunity for engineering students from across
Western Canada to meet and compete in a variety of design and communication events. WEC gives students an
opportunity to develop and practice their skills as engineers while having fun at the same time. WEC is just one
example of the outstanding events organized by the students of UMES that add an important dimension to the
engineering education available to students at the University of Manitoba.
WEC gives students the opportunity to showcase their technical prowess, as well as a chance to meet with
prominent engineers and engineering students from across Western Canada, establishing friends and networks
that can last a lifetime. The competition is designed to refine students’ presentation, design and communication
skills – all skills that complement their engineering studies to help them excel in their careers after graduation.
To host and organize the WEC takes a team of dedicated and driven students – attributes inherent to our
University of Manitoba engineering students. A well organized student team has been established to ensure that
the WEC here in Winnipeg is the best ever and showcases Manitoba talent to the rest of Western Canada. To
host this event requires substantial financial support beyond that available from competitor registration fees. I
invite you to review the sponsorship package and discover how your organization can help maximize the success
of the WEC. This sponsorship package describes the ways in which you can become involved in WEC and the
benefits that will accrue from your sponsorship. However, the greatest benefit is that the dedicated and
enthusiastic engineering students who attend this competition will associate your name with an enjoyable
opportunity to practice engineering. On behalf of the WEC organizing committee and the Faculty of Engineering,
we thank you for your interest in supporting engineering students and their future success.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Beddoes, Ph.D., P.Eng.
Dean, Faculty of Engineering
University of Manitoba
What is WEC?
The Western Engineering Competition (WEC) is Western Canada’s largest undergraduate engi-
neering competition, bringing together 11 applied science institutions for a five-day event. The
competition consists of eight events, challenging engineering students to adapt and apply the
technical and communication skills drawn from their degree. The competition highlights the
diversity and wide range of the field, with competitors in the civil, electrical, mechanical, bio-
system, and mining engineering disciplines. Each event is judged by industry professionals, and
respective winning teams will qualify for the Canadian Engineering Competition. Contestants are
provided the opportunity to compete in the following fast-paced, hands-on engineering compe-
titions:
• Senior Design
• Junior Design
• Consulting
• Re-Engineering
• Innovative Design
• Impromtu Debate
• Engineering Communications
• Programming
Participating Institutions
Member schools of the Western Engineering Students’ Societies Teams (WESST) compete
annually at WEC. Participating Societies are as follows:
• British Columbia Institute of Technology
• Simon Fraser University Burnaby
• Simon Fraser University Surrey
• University of Alberta
• University of British Columbia Okanagan
• University of Calgary
• University of Manitoba
• University of Northern British Columbia
• University of Regina
• University of Saskatchewan
• University of Victoria
Individual Competitions
Senior Design
Senior Design challenges a team of four individuals to
develope and implement a solution to a specific problem
within 12 hours. The problem will be presented to each
team the morning of the competition. At the conclusion of
the time period each team will present their solutions to
a panel of judges who will evaluate each design based on
criteria such as creativity, cost effectiveness, feasibilty, etc.
Junior Design
Junior Design follows in the footsteps of Senior Design.
It sees a team of four individuals developing a solution
to a proposed problem with a limited timeframe in which
to complete their design. This competition caters to en-
gineering students in their first or second year of their
degree. After completion of their design, each team will
present to a panel of judges for evaluation.
Consulting
The Consulting competition presents a team of four indi-
viduals with a real-world problem and figurative client. The
team will need to devise the best solution for their respec-
tive problem based of specific criteria in order to win the
competition. The teams will then present to a panel of
judges and submit a written report described their pro-
posed solution.
Re-Engineering
Re-engineering tasks a team of two students to improve
upon a previously existing product or design solution. Ev-
ery year the competition displays a vast amount of creativ-
ity as students present their idea with the same function-
ality as the original in new and exciting ways. The design
problem is revealed the morning of the competition and is
later critiqued by a panel of judges.
Innovative Design
Innovative design is vastly different from the other compe-
titions as it allows teams of one to four students to de-
velope a solution to a real world problem of their choosing
prior to coming to WEC. This competition will have booths
set up at the venue on the day of evaluation for peers and
judges to walk around and critique other teams solutions.
Impromptu Debate
In teams of two, students debate a topic/resolution from a
predetermined position. Each team will present their side
of the debate and attempt to persuade the panel of judges
to their side. The teams will need to construct their argue-
ments effectively and convincingly in order to sway the
judges and win the debate.
Engineering Communications
Competitors are asked to describe a technical subject in
layman’s terms. They must consider the economic and en-
vironmental aspects of their subject, and provide a persua-
sive conclusion regarding the potential benefits, risks, and
effects their subject has on the world. Judges will decide
on the winner based on the content and delivery of the
presentation.
Programming
The programming competition caters to the growing
global market of professional quality engineering software.
Each team will use the skills they’ve acquired throughout
their programs combined with their project management
skills in order to develope a solution to a provided prob-
lem.
