The group of Morgan Say, Mickel Fernandez and Luigi Franco with Engr.

The 2nd place was awarded to a group from UP Los Banos. About 20 groups participated in the competition.

The top 3 finalists presented to an audience of over 2000 guests, mostly civil engineering students and faculty members coming from various schools all over the country at the UP Theater, Diliman, QC on Sept. 3, 2010. The recognition is a mark of victory of De La Salle University’s Civil Engineering department’s continued excellence in the field of research and development. Congratulations!
