Project Pitch Competition – Problem Statement & Guidelines

1. Problem Statement

Civil engineering today faces multiple challenges at the intersection of sustainability, urbanization, and infrastructure resilience. Participants are invited to propose an innovative, practical, and scalable solution addressing one major challenge from the following domains:

Sustainable Construction Materials & Technologies
Urban Infrastructure & Smart Cities
Disaster Resilience & Climate Adaptation
Water Resources & Environmental Engineering
Transportation Systems & Mobility Optimization
Structural Health Monitoring & Advanced Analysis Techniques

Your pitch should clearly identify a real-world civil engineering problem, justify its importance, and propose a feasible solution backed by technical reasoning, data, or proof of concept.

2. Submission Requirements
