The I4 Challenge is a high school level data-driven competition run by students at the University of Waterloo. The name comes from what is known as the fourth industrial revolution, involving the computerization of manufacturing and increase in big data and analytics.
We take teams of 3-5 students through part of a manufacturing process, analyzing a section of the production line. Teams will be provided information from the line and will be asked to use an engineering approach to analyze the process, layout, and efficiency. They will then prepare a short report with their analysis for how the plant management can be improved.
Through our one-day competition, you will be tested on your analytical, time management and optimization skills, through which you will learn how to work on engineering cases, manage your time well under pressure and create quality solutions using engineering principles.
