CIVIL ENGINEERING CASE COMPETITION

You have an important meeting today. Outside it’s raining heavily. You walk to the bus stop through a foot of dirty water and wait there. The bus finally arrives after half an hour with not even an inch left inside it. Somehow you manage to get on. The bus starts and suddenly stops after moving a few meters. You think it might be a traffic signal. But after few minutes you realize that you are now in a huge congestion caused by the rainfall, not a single wheel is rolling. After standing for an hour in the suffocating condition, you decide to walk to your destination. Finally you reach the destination; tired and totally drenched. Not surprisingly you are 5 hours late and have missed an opportunity of lifetime.

Sounds familiar? This story might be yours or of someone living around you. With the unplanned growth and drastic climate change, huge number of problems have sprung up around us. Traffic problems, water shortage, pollution, river bank erosions, landslides, embankment breaches are some of the matters that severely concern us. Engineers frequently work on complex projects which involve many technical, economic, social and environmental factors and emerge with amazing solutions. The CE case competition is your chance to have a take on such real life problems and come up with innovative and feasible solution. So team up and share engineering skills with us.
