Young Civil Engineer (YCE) 2026 is a national-level engineering competition organized by the Civil Engineering Student Association of the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Jember. This event serves as a platform for high school students and university students to showcase their creativity, innovation, and technical skills in the field of civil engineering.

YCE 2026 features three main competition categories: Balsa Bridge Competition for both High School and University levels, Tender Competition for University students, and Concrete Competition for University students. Through these challenges, participants are encouraged to develop their abilities in structural design, project planning, engineering analysis, and innovative construction solutions.

The event will be conducted through a series of engaging and competitive stages, beginning with the Opening Ceremony, which officially marks the start of the event and welcomes all participants. It will then continue with a Webinar Session, providing valuable insights and knowledge from professionals and experts in the field of civil engineering. Afterward, participants will enter the Preliminary Round, where teams compete and demonstrate their capabilities to qualify for the next stage. The competition will culminate in the Final Round, where the best teams present their strongest performance and innovative solutions. Finally, the event will conclude with the Awarding Ceremony, celebrating and recognizing outstanding achievements of the participants.

Held at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Jember, Young Civil Engineer 2026 aims to inspire and nurture the next generation of civil engineers who are innovative, competitive, and ready to contribute to the future development of infrastructure and society.

The Final Round is the culminating stage of Young Civil Engineer 2026, bringing together the top-performing teams from the preliminary stage. Participants will present and execute their final projects, designs, analyses, or solutions before a panel of judges. This round highlights excellence, innovation, technical competency, and teamwork in solving engineering challenges.
