This multidisciplinary competition requires 2 engineering and 2 business students to work together for 24 hours to come up with a solution for the case at hand. This year’s case sponsor was Hydro Ottawa. The winning team received a $4000 scholarship, jointly donated by the Telfer School of Management and the Faculty of Engineering. Congratulations to this year’s winners!
