The Business & Engineering Collaboration (BEC) competition brings CEGEP students from business, commerce, engineering, and applied disciplines together to solve real-world challenges over a two-month journey. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, workshops on research, analysis, and presentation skills, students gain practical experience. The competition culminates in a presentation round before a panel of judges, with winning teams advancing to university-level competitions. BEC fosters critical thinking, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving for future leaders.
