TREC stands for Texas A&M Regional Engineering Conference. It is our design competition held in February every year where engineers from our region compete in order to win awesome prizes. In Feb., 2008, the prizes were an iPod Touch, Navigation System, and External Harddrive. The cost of competing is $15, but that gets you a t-shirt, two dinners, a breakfast, and a lunch.
We begin the festivities on Friday with a catered social, then move everything to Zachry Engineering Center for the unveiling of the objective. Teams can brainstorm in their individual rooms until midnight. Saturday morning, the teams begin building, until the competition at 3:00. An awards banquet follows at 7:00pm.
