2023 Competition:

Congratulations to all the fantastic engineering students who took part in the IMechE Yorkshire Undergraduate Design Challenge Regional Finals at the University of Hull on Friday 2nd June 2023. Each of the 1st and 2nd year winning teams from Hull will now go on to represent the Region at the National Finals later this year.

Special thanks go out to the University of Hull for hosting this year's competition and to all of the volunteers from our IMechE East Yorkshire Young Members Panel & Area Committee who took the time out to support the event.

2017 Competition:

In May 2017 we held the second Yorkshire Region Undergraduate Design Challenge.

Every year a new challenge is set for first year undergraduate students to design a solution to a problem, make it, explain it using a poster and a presentation, and compete against students from other universities. Winners from each region will go on to take part in a National Final.

In 2016 The University of Huddersfield were the winning university and went on to compete in the National final and came 3rd - Well Done Huddersfield!

In 2017 the standard of competition was again really high with all the teams producing excellent devices, informative posters and engaging presentations. However, The University of Leeds managed to fend off the competition to win first place and will be going on to compete in the national final in October 2017 - Well Done Leeds!

The University of Huddersfield again did well achieving second place, and The University of Hull won third place. Well done to all teams participating.

The Spec for the 2017 Design Challenge can be foundhere.
