KUET presents BUILTECH FEST 2020 in Khulna

Department of Building Engineering and Construction Management of KUET is going to organize BUILTECH FEST, is one of the biggest technical festival for the Engineering students organized in Bangladesh on a national scale, for the fourth time in a row on February.

This program will create an exultant environment where engineering students can discover the potential hiding inside them. This event will include civil engineering faculty students as well as students from other disciplines across the globe and it will create a platform to share ideas among students of different universities and institutions.

Events – BUILTECH FEST 4.0 will consist of 10 different events:

1. Mechanics Mania
Participants will have to solve various problems regarding Engineering Mechanics such as problem-related to
– Centroid Moment of Inertia,
– Simple Truss,
– Reaction,
– Shear & Moment Resultant of forces &
– Unit Conversion.
This segment’s problem can be solved with basic mechanics knowledge. Problems will be provided in papers and the paper will come with space for answers. It is a time-limited & individual contest.
i. Individual registration is required.
ii. No resources are allowed.
iii. Need to bring a calculator.

2. Poster Presentation
The participant will have to present their poster on the event day.
They can cover all the aspects of Sustainable Design based on vision 2020/41 SGDs, Construction Management, Structural & Materials Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Clean Energy, Low Carbon Technology, Environmental Technology & Green Building.
i. Participation certificate for all.
ii. A group of 2 participants (Max.) is allowed.
iii. Each group can choose the name of their own style.
iv. Participants are advised to bring their own clips and hanging accessories.
v. A format will be given prior to making a poster.

3. Cad Contest
Participants will have to draw required sections and/or elevations from provided plan/elevations drawings in AutoCAD software. A participant needs to bring own laptop, charger and multi-plug. It is a time-limited & individual contest.

4. Technical writing
The participant will have to send their technical writing to the specified email address and the top 5 will be published in the article and rewarded. It can be review paper, journal, conference paper, thesis paper. They can cover all the aspects of Sustainable Design based on vision 2020/41 SGDs, Construction Management, Structural & Materials Engineering Architectural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Clean Energy, Low Carbon Technology, Environmental Technology, Green Building. Writings are to be free from Plagiarism. A format will be given prior to making a report.

5. Visual rendition
Participants will have to draw a 3D model & render given CAD file by using any kind of rendering software. The rendered image need to be in JPEG format. Participants are advised to bring own laptop, charger and multi-plug. A format will be given prior to making a drawing. The case will be given at least 15 hours before the submission.

6. Case Cracking
Participants need to register for the case for free as a team. Then an upcoming construction (cognitive) related case will be emailed to the registered teams. They will have to solve the case and send the solution to the authority. Then selected teams will have to solve a case on the event day in the venue for final round & needed to prepare the slides according to given format within 5 hours and present it within 8 minutes with a related Q & A round conducted by the judges. A participant is advised to bring own laptop, charger and multi-plug.

7. Management Mastermind
Problems regarding construction management & building engineering management such as problem-related to Network Diagram (AON), Health and Safety Management, Risk Management, Project Financing, Project Life Cycle, Estimating Fully mathematics-based quiz need to be solved in this segment. It needs basic thinking capability of management & economics. Problems will be provided in papers and the paper will come with space for answers. It is a time-limited & individual contest. A participant needs to bring a calculator.

8. Rapid Presentation
Participants need to make a slide regarding any topic based on their research with referencing for a 3-minute presentation on the event day. The subject must be a practical concept (technology) that can be implemented scientifically. The presentation file needs to be submitted electronically. Videos can be sent from remote places of Bangladesh for the evaluation. No Q&A round in this segment. It is an individual contest.

9. Cognitive Project Showcasing
Participants need to give an original solution which is stable & feasible problems regarding all the aspects of an upcoming engineering project or upcoming mega project in the context of BD like a traffic jam, Metro Rail, Padma bridge etc. They need to send an abstract about describing the situation which they want to solve. They also need to make their solution visually by video & animation. They Must Submit a Compendium of Their Project Before Attain (3D Rendered). No software restriction is applied.

10. Advanced Mechanics Battle
Problems regarding building engineering mechanics & civil engineering mechanics such as problem-related to SFD & BMD, Influence Line (Determinate), Truss, Mohr Circle & Deflected Shape of beams from loading need to be solved by the participant. To solve this segment’s problem one need to know advanced techniques of mechanics. Problems will be provided in papers and the paper will come with space for answers. It is a time-limited & individual contest.
