The Ride Engineering Competition offers University students a chance to demonstrate real-world engineering practices within the industry focus of ride engineering and design. Student teams will design, plan, and manufacture an attraction for small riders based on a prompt that includes a plot of land and desired rider experience. Competitors in the Ride Engineering Competition engage in real engineering practices from the Amusement Industry including: Project Management Risk Assessment ASTM F24 Safety Standard Compliance Engineering Reporting Budget Engineering Prototyping and Manufacturing Public Speaking Factory and Site Acceptance Testing

REC is spearheaded by our Board of Directors and operates via the support of a team of young professionals.

Each year, we typically release our rulebook/prompt and open registration in early Fall. Our season culminates with our in-person competition in early April.
