Competing teams
The student clubs have been working tirelessly to design and build innovative engineering projects for a chance to compete at a national and international level.
This year’s teams will be proudly showcasing the latest iterations of their ongoing projects:
AUvic
AUVic is an interdisciplinary student club that builds an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for the annual RoboSub competition in San Diego. Come and check out Polaris, their most recent AUV and discover the world of underwater and marine engineering.
UVFR
The UVic Formula Motorsport team designs and builds a new formula-style race car each year. They compete annually at Formula SAE, the world’s largest collegiate design competition. Snap a picture on the driver seat of their latest race car.
Fix it 3491
FIX IT 3491 is a student team that designs robotics and competes annually worldwide. They have won awards such as the Inspire Award at the 2017 FTC World Championships. Don’t miss the opportunity to take control of their robot and driver bots.
Uvic Hybrid
UVic Hybrid are engineering students that design, build, and compete with hybrid electric vehicles. Discover their latest Eco car 2 or electric race car.
Uvic Rocketry
The UVic Rocketry Team designs and builds competitive sounding rockets. The team earned first place at the Payload Challenge during the 2017 Spaceport America Cup. Meet local rocket engineers and see firsthand a full rocket assembly.
Uvic Aero
UVic Aero is a team of about 45 engineering students that design, build and test Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). They will be showcasing their unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone.
UVic Submarine
UVic Submarine Racing Club is a multidisciplinary club run by students from the University of Victoria and Camosun College who design, manufacture, and build human-powered submarines. Come and scope out their racing submarine and chat about marine engineering.
UVic Environment
UVic Environmental Engineering club creates engineering solutions to environmental challenges that humanity face. A recent example is an Unmanned Surface Vehicle that is designed to collect microplastic debris from beaches in the area.
UVic Satellite Design
UVic Satellite Design consists of dedicated students passionate about space and nanosatellite technology. Meet the team currently participating in the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge (CSDC) and check out their competing satellite.
