The Canadian Engineering Competition (CEC) (Compétition canadienne d'ingénierie in French) is an annual competition involving more than 150 of the best and brightest engineering students from across Canada. The event is an activity of the Canadian Federation of Engineering Students.

All competitors at the CEC qualify for the competition through one of four regional competitions:

• Western Engineering Competition (WEC)
• Ontario Engineering Competition (OEC)
• Quebec Engineering Competition (QEC)
• Atlantic Engineering Competition (AEC)

[edit] Competition Categories

The CEC involve competitions in a variety of topics. Individual competitors can be entered in one, or any combination, of the following competition categories:

• Extemporaneous Debate
• Senior Team Design
• Junior Team Design
• Consulting Engineering
