The two-day simulated construction project will allow the teams to showcase their abilities and be evaluated on the following criteria: estimating, bidding, planning and scheduling; understanding of sound construction techniques; thoughtful methodology; presentation skills; and creativity.
First, second and third place awards will be given in the divisions of Commercial Building, Design-Build and Heavy-Civil. Winning student teams will be recognized at the 糖心破解版 National Student Championship Awards Dinner in San Diego during Convention.
