阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s very first entry into the great northern concrete toboggan race (gnctr) was a resounding success, scooping the best new team award and most inclusive team award at the national competition hosted by concordia university in montreal.

“our first-ever gnctr entry was a huge success, and we’re really proud of what we accomplished. it showed not just our technical skills, but also that we can compete at a national level with other universities across canada,” said co-captain elian drummond. “this is just the beginning for 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 —we’ve built a strong foundation, and we’re excited to see next year's team come back even stronger; improving their designs and making a lasting impact in the gnctr community.”

the multidisciplinary student team, co-captained by civil engineering 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 drummond and faryal faisal, debuted at 11th overall (out of 18 entries from universities and colleges across canada) and were the only team in the competition not to receive any deduction points.

“we are immensely proud of the terrific performance of the lakehead team in their inaugural entry into this competition. this is only the beginning of what will become a tradition with future teams building on the legacy of this pioneering group of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 ,” said janusz kozinski, dean of engineering at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 .

established last year, the lakehead gnctr team made rapid progress in a short time to design and build the lakehead toboggan and attract an impressive array of sponsors to support the project.

“being an inaugural team came with its obstacles, but spearheading the initiative allowed us to curate a skill set we never would have had the opportunity to develop solely in the classroom,” said faisal. “we got to experience first-hand what it means to be an engineer and how the profession is rooted in strong teams.”

the great northern concrete toboggan race is the largest and longest running engineering competition in north america. teams must design and construct a toboggan with a metal frame and a running surface made completely out of concrete and race it down a steep snow-covered hill. the sled must weigh less than 350 pounds, have a working braking system, and be fitted with a roll cage to protect its five passengers.

"supervising our inaugural gnctr team was a lesson in passion and resilience. their seamless teamwork and impeccable organization transformed every challenge into a breakthrough,” stated faculty advisor dr. ahmed elshaer. “this group showed me that true success lies in the thrill of surprise, not just in the prize. their awards set a high bar for lakehead's innovative future.”
