Case Study
Case Study 09.08
During the 20th century big technological developments were made. Technologies we cannot live without. Imagine your life without a cell phone. Could you live your life normally and do the things you love without the comfort, pleasure and usefulness which cell phones bring to you?
This brings the challenge described in Case Study 6 – Smartphone Application for Deaf:
“ How can a Smartphone App help deaf people in order to make their life easier, with almost
the same opportunities as the others have?”
EBEC Competitors have to solve this problem in 5h by designing a smartphone application to
help deaf on their everyday life..
Kaspersky Case Study 08.08
We live in an ever increasingly connected world. The impact of this is not only technological, but it also has social, political and economic consequences. To this end we need to design and implement more secure and integrated systems and devices. However we should not ignore usability. A highly secure system with few people using it is not a very beneficial one.
The task for Kaspersky Case Study is to look through a crystal ball and predict the future of Internet. Using number of facts, trends and all the other information provided participants are asked to create a design how a new internet framework might look like. Starting from the system design and network architecture, through security issues, to how Internet services are provided to. The priority in the system should be data and user security.
Case Study 07.08
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and 5th largest city in the world with a population of 12.8 million people. Number of vehicles in the city is increasing every day bringing it close to 2 million motored vehicles participating in the traffic. One of the main issues existing is the major traffic jams and increasing air pollution. To solve this problems Istanbul government has founded Solar Energy Transportation Commission. Its purpose is to find solar energy based solution for city transportation and incorporate photovoltaic effect in transport.
Main task of this Case Study is to analyse traffic problems of Istanbul and introduce solar powered transportation system, taking into consideration implementation the problems and assessing the changes it brings to the whole traffic system of the city.
Case Study 05.08
Internet is present in our daily life. Also it is a powerful Marketing tool. Therefore, Companies should have an attractive, informative and well structured websites to reach more people in the best way.
The challenge Detur Group proposed to our participants: to restructure and redesign their website(s) in order to reach more people with the best approach possible.

Case Study 04.08
Working in severe conditions (such as: bad ventilation, high concentration of gases, decrease of natural light etc.) requires certain safety measurements including personal safety equipment for miners (helmets, masks, suits, etc.). Even though mining industry has a long history and well developed skills of working underground, natural organisms have several millenniums of advantage in this field.
Biomimicry is a new way of thinking and looking at engineering challenges by identifying a problem and turning to nature to look for similar scenario solutions, emulating natural designs and applying the findings to proposed problems.
The main task of Case Study 2 is to analyse the needs and develop new, innovative Personal Safety Equipment set for miners by looking at this matter through the prism of biomimicry.
Case Study 03.08
The Summer Olympic Games 2020 are looking for a host. Kuwait City fulfils all the basic requirements to host the event, already started the event preparations, all designs of Olympic buildings are already done and approved by the Kuwait and International Olympic Committees. Therefore, this makes it a major contender in the host race.
However, Kuwait is a very hot and dry country during the summer. Weather conditions like these significantly constrict the comfort and good conditions at the Stadium, both for athletes and the audience participating in outdoor sport activities, and can even be a threat for their health.
Competitors are challenged with a problem of designing the cooling solutions providing the satisfactory conditions for the athletes to perform and audience to enjoy the Summer Olympic Games.
The task is based on the real-life problem that Qatar is facing when hosting FIFA World Cup 2022.
