From May 19th to 21st, 2023, the prestigious EELISA Student Scientific Competition took place in Pisa, organized by EELISA (European Engineering Learning Innovation and Science Alliance). The event attracted over 40 teams from the University Politehnica Bucharest, showcasing their innovative projects and research endeavors. Among these teams was our own, presenting our project on ” THE USE OF SMART PNEUMATICS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF VEHICLES WITH PNEUMATIC ENGINES”
The EELISA Student Scientific Competition is a platform that fosters talent management and offers opportunities for self-education and elite training to nurture the future generation of scientists. It has been a cornerstone of talent development in Hungary for the past 70 years, with the participation of numerous top Hungarian researchers.
This year’s competition was held in conjunction with the 2nd Research-based Learning Symposia, with the aim of establishing collaborative research interests and activities among EELISA partners. The event followed a hybrid format, allowing participants to engage both on-site and online.
Our team joined the competition with great enthusiasm, presenting our groundbreaking project that focused on the application of intelligent pneumatics in the construction of engines for vehicles powered by compressed air. Our research delved deep into this field, exploring innovative techniques and addressing professional questions related to this technology.
The benefits of participating in the EELISA Student Scientific Competition are manifold. Firstly, it provided us with the opportunity to write a research paper akin to those published in the Scientific Student Associations movement. Moreover, it allowed us to delve deeper into our specific area of study, enabling us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
To participate in the EELISA Student Scientific Competition, we were required to submit a research report spanning 20 to 60 pages, prepared with the guidance of experienced supervisors. These reports underwent thorough evaluation by two reviewers before the event, ensuring the quality and rigor of our work.
At the symposia, each team delivered a 10-minute presentation, followed by a scientific discussion, in sessions dedicated to their respective fields of expertise. These presentations were evaluated based on the established rules of the Hungarian TDK and OTDK conferences.
Our team’s participation in the EELISA Student Scientific Competition has been an invaluable experience, allowing us to showcase our innovative research and collaborate with fellow scholars. We are immensely proud to have represented our university and contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge in our field
