EBEC- European BEST Engineering Competition<br />
As a part of the larger European BEST Engineering Competition the local<br />
committee at <strong>Chalmers</strong> organizes a yearly event together with corporate sponsors<br />
to provide <strong>Chalmers</strong> students an opportunity to compete against each other and<br />
against other European engineering students.<br />
This year’s competition consisted of 40 students, divided into 10 teams, which<br />
were tasked with building a hydro plant with limited resources and within 4 hours.<br />
The two winning teams were the once who could pull a weight the furthest with a<br />
set amount of water. Both teams were then sent to Stockholm to compete in the<br />
regional final, where one of them came in on a proud second place.<br />
Summer Course - “Synergy in Energy”<br />
Our main objective and project of the year targeted at international students<br />
who want to explore <strong>Chalmers</strong>; and experience what it is to be a student in<br />
Sweden.<br />
This year’s <strong>Chalmers</strong> Summer Course was on the topic “Synergy in Energy!” and how we can<br />
utilize new sources of energy. It took place from the 17 th to 28 th of June 2012 with the<br />
applicants being selected in mid-April.<br />
The general idea of the course was agreed upon with the Chief Development Officer of<br />
<strong>Chalmers</strong>. Together with <strong>Chalmers</strong> together with funds from <strong>Chalmers</strong> Mastercard also<br />
helped finance the course.<br />
129 applicants from all over the Europe applied to the Summer Course. From them only 22<br />
the most motivated and academically prepared were accepted and got an opportunity to get<br />
closer to Swedish culture and to learn from lecturers from <strong>Chalmers</strong>. The whole course was<br />
done on a voluntary basis with local students handling everything from cooking to meeting<br />
the participants once they arrived in Gothenburg.
