Environmental
Challenge International (ECi)
The ECi is a team competition in which students
at all levels - undergraduates and Master's and
Ph.D. candidates - present a solution to an
environmental challenge based on the experiences
of our members. In responding to the challenge,
entrants must consider regulatory approaches,
political and community issues, and technical and
scientific solutions. The ECi showcases students'
abilities while enhancing their professional
experience - allowing them to catch the eye of

industry. In addition to developing professional
