Student Teams

Student teams are a great way for you to apply the knowledge and skills you learn in class in a fun and collegial environment. You can travel to exciting competition destinations such as Calgary, Montreal, and New Orleans, and compete against engineering students from other schools for prizes and bragging rights. See what you've learned come to life by tackling real-world engineering challenges with some of your classmates, and have some fun too!

Here’s a few teams you may want to get involved in when you come to Ryerson:

		Concrete Toboggan Team This team is looking to recruit new members to defend their title of overall champion at the 2012 Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race in Edmonton, Alberta. The team also won fastest run time, top speed, best performance, the sustainability award, and the most original and innovative design.
		Water Environment Team This team achieved the best-ever result for a Canadian university (second-place) at the 2010 Water Environment Federation Technical Conference in New Orleans. Can you help this team make history by capturing first in the next competition?
		Hobby Electronics Club This team won first place in the full-size robot competition at the 2012 Western Canadian Robot Games with their fighter robot, Chiyonofuji.
		Formula Racing Team This popular team designs, builds and races an Indy-style race car each year.
		Ryerson Rocketry Club The name says it all. Who wouldn’t want to build a rocket in their spare time?
		Civil Engineering Society Bridge Team This team builds amazing bridges out of toothpicks, glue and popsicle sticks that can support up to 500 kilograms.
		Ontario/Canadian Engineering Competition Teams Ryerson engineering students made history at the 2011 Ontario Engineering Competition by placing first and second in the innovative design category – the first time in the history of the competition that one institution captured the top two spots in a single category – and first in the parliamentary debate category. Both first place teams went on to capture second in their respective categories at the Canadian Engineering Competition.
