Testimonials - EBEC 2010

When I joined the Local Engineering Competition in Grenoble, I didn’t know that it would bring me so many joys and discoveries. At no point did we think that we could win, the other participants being as fierce competitors as us. Yet in the end here we are: France is 2nd at EBEC’s Case Study and the moments that we lived with other European students of technology

were exceptional. I learned a lot on how to cooperate and communicate during team work for competitions.The contact with companies was also a key factor to the success of EBEC 2010; I now feel closer to various large European corporations, because I had personal contacts with representatives of these companies. This will surely help me in my search for employment after my studies. I really hope that the next sessions of EBEC will be as exhilarating as EBEC 2010!
