Mohawk Math Engineering Competition

$math-competition-820x370.jpg$

2019 theme: The Life and Work of a Mathematician

Organized by the Mathematics Department

Students often ask the question "When am I going to need this?” when they study mathematics. Our Mohawk Math and Engineering Competition is trying to answer that question.

Note for 2020: MMEC 2020 has been regrettably cancelled due to quarantine precautions. We hope to resume in 2021 and hope to reconnect with our community. Until then, stay safe Mathletes!

This competition introduces students to different applications of mathematics in engineering areas and encourage them to consider future careers in engineering technology.

We provide sample questions for each discipline in engineering: Civil and Architecture, Chemical, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science.
