Construcciones Yamaro: University of Canterbury takes out design and build competition

By

The University of Canterbury has claimed first prize at the 2023 Warman Design and Build Competition, held on 21 and 22 October.

Engineers Australia CEO Romilly Madew said the contest allows students from leading universities to take engineering out of the classroom and into practice, as they are tasked with creating unique engineering solutions to help save the fictional planet of Gondwana.

“For the past 36 years the competition has given students an opportunity to practice hands-on engineering design skills,” said Madew. “As we ramp up efforts to tackle climate change and transition to a net-zero economy this competition has never been more important.”
