UMCVEC 2022: future engineers compete against each other. Who will be the winner?
University of Malaya Civil Engineering Competition 2022: Green Olympic Village is an international competition organized by the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Malaya. UMCvEC 2022 is supported by Institution of Civil Engineers Student Chapter (UMICESC) and Civil and Environmental Engineering Club (CEEC) to uphold the mission of the Civil Engineering Department; to equip graduates with the ability to apply critical thinking to identify, formulate and solve civil engineering problems. On top of that, UMICESC and CEEC aim to promote the art and science of civil engineering and the Learning Beyond Classrooms concept among students which will ultimately lead to the enhancement of their academic performance. In collaboration with both clubs, UMCvEC 2022 will be able to ideally attain the mission and main objective.
UMCvEC 2022 adopts an ‘open-theme approach’ that allows the participants to decide on a building typology for the competition. With the scenario of Green Olympics 2024 in Malaysia, the participants are tasked to design an Olympic village to accommodate the athletes. The proposed design should be practical yet cost saving, in addition, be sustainable corresponding to the theme of Green Olympic Village. The participants are required to display and analyse the structure of their design. Through this, students can develop their creativity and engineering knowledge that is necessary for their future careers as civil engineers. Also, students are encouraged to utilise diverse analysis and design software.
What is the aim of the competition?
The aim of the competition is
- To provide a platform for all Civil Engineering students to share and apply their engineering knowledge
- To encourage research and creativity design among Civil Engineering students
- To construct students’ confidence, self-esteem and teamwork skills
- To promote our annual event to the international level
