World Engineering Day Hackathon

The World Engineering Day Hackathon is a global competition that aims to engage engineering students, from universities around the world, with the celebration of World Engineering Day in 2023.  The Hackathon is hosted by the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO), its members and partners. Partners who are working with WFEO to create comprehensive and relevant engineering challenges that align with the 2023 World Engineering Day theme, Engineering Innovation for a more resilient World and which will encourage engineering students to develop solutions that advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This competition is a fast-paced simulation of a real-world project. Teams are to work collaboratively on a problem to provide a set of deliverables within a short timeframe. Utilising their theoretical knowledge, students gain first-hand experience to develop their critical thinking, build new skill sets, push themselves out of their comfort zone and build lasting relationships.
