Engineering Games Evolve: a new format

The engineering games at UnicenP began in 1999 and, in 2004, the 6th edition had the participation of approximately 600 students, freshmen and sophomore, from the Civil, Computer, Electric and Mechanical Engineering programs at Centro Universitario Positivo. In the last two editions of the games there has been a change in the format, with the students now being made responsible for the acquisition of the materials to be employed in the games. This is now possible due to advanced announcement of team composition, which gives the students enough time to contact fellow team members and get organized prior to engineering games day. The new format has helped improve team organization, and also made the games easier to set up, since more time can be devoted by the faculty to task creation and evaluation as opposed to the former assemblage of kits of materials to be handed to the teams
