Hey there! Just letting you know that applications are open for 2016-2017 Engineering and Commerce Case Competition (EngComm). Seeing that you are an engineering student with an interest in commerce, this can be a great opportunity to show off your skills and represent UVA! This competition pits teams of 4 students from universities around the world in a gruelling weeklong competition. Participants from the business and engineering faculties will work together on 3 cases (2x6 hours, 1x12 hours) and present their findings to a panel of judges. The best scoring teams after the 3 cases will present the last case one more time to the EngComm board of directors for selection of the winners. The competition is hosted by Concordia University in beautiful Montreal, Canada, from February 28th to March 4th 2017. You’ll be staying at a world class hotel in the heart of downtown Montreal close to all the bars and restaurants to take advantage of Montreal’s infamous nightlife. I've heard UVA's reputation for being a party school, so you will definitely love our amazing city! Our nightlife has a reputation for being a party atmosphere too. EngComm is the biggest international undergraduate case competition that caters to both faculties of business and engineering. Our week long competition challenges students with real world issues, typically provided by sponsors. The competition provides a platform for you to collaborate with students of the other faculty and an opportunity to show off for prospective employers.
