PAST COMPETITIONS

TMET

The Toronto Metropolitan Thrill Design Competition, or TMET, is an annual competition presented by Universal Creative in which teams of students from universities across the US and Canada compete to see who can conquer specific design and engineering related challenges. The competition is exclusive, meaning to even be invited to the final in person competition hosted at Universal Orlando Resort, teams must first compete and excel in a qualifying round. TPED has been lucky enough to be invited to TMET for several years now, and has taken home various awards and recognitions for design and engineering strategies.

Royal Caribbean Ultimate Thrills Competition

In Spring 2025, Gator TPED was invited by Royal Caribbean to compete in their first-ever Ultimate Thrills Competition. Teams were given ten days to respond to the prompt before five teams were chosen to present their project to a live panel of judges at the Royal Caribbean headquarters in Miami. The winning team was ultimately awarded a free sailing aboard the all-new Stars of the Seas. Our "Gators of the Seas" were invited to Miami and came out victorious! Congratulations to team members Olivia Grinage, Lauren McConkey, and Elliot Myers for their hard work and amazing cruise!
