Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR)

Since 1975 engineering students from schools across North America have been competing in the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR). The student-run competition requires teams to design, build and race a concrete toboggan downhill in a series of events. Each team constructs a toboggan weighing less than 300 lbs that can safely carry 5 riders down the competition hill. The toboggan must also include steering and braking systems that meet rigorous safety standards. Toboggans are judged on superstructure design, integration of theme, technical aspects, concrete mix and runner design, overall speed and various other performance metrics. Not only does the GNCTR give engineering students an opportunity to learn both valuable hands on and soft skills, but it also provides another front to expose North America to Guelph’s Engineering program and its partners.

The Collaborative Creative Collective (CoCreCo) Engineering Club

The Collaborative Creative Collective (CoCreCo) Engineering Club is focused on providing a creative and collaborative atmosphere that fosters and supports engineering students in engineering competitions locally, nationally, and internationally. Our club organizes the annual Guelph Engineering Competition which includes categories such as the Junior Design, Senior Design, Consulting Engineering, and the Re-Engineering competition. We are always seeking to find community partners to work alongside! For the 2018 Guelph Engineering Competition, we partnered with Goodwill Canada to present the Re-Engineering Competition. Additionally, we promote external competitions, connect students across all engineering disciplines, and provide technical/administrative support in regards to these competitions. CoCreCo also offers a Textbook Rental Service, which provides Engineering Students an easy and affordable way to access the latest textbooks for Engineering Courses!
