OffDC ONTARIO ENGINEERING DESIGN COMPETITION Many people hold a simple view of engineers as boorish, beer-swilling rowdies. But engineering students also possess an intelligence and a skill in engineering problem solving. These latter charac- teristics were clearly demonstrated to the crowds who attended the Ontario Engineering Design Competition, hosted by the Engineering Society in March. The OEDC was the first major event hosted by the Society since the Regional Engineering Students Societies Association conference in 1979. The Competition brought together 67 competitors, many from Toronto, to compete in four categories corresponding to essential qualities in an engineer. The corporate representatives and judges involved brought the total number of participants to well over one hundred. Entrants in the Competition competed in one of two “desi gn” categories or two “communications” categories. Corporate design involved the solution of an industry submitted problem.
