The Korea Engineering & Construction Association announced that it will hold the '2025 Engineering Industry Competition', hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and sponsored by the Engineering Mutual Aid Association, starting on March 4. This competition was created with the purpose of discovering and fostering excellent talents in creative design ideas and 4th industrial revolution technologies such as BIM.
This competition, newly established in 2021, has been integrated with the 'Engineering Design Competition' that has been held since 2013 and will be held from 2023, and the contest categories are divided into ▲Design Ideas and ▲BIM. The Design Ideas category is for high school and college students (including those on leave), and the BIM category is open to all students (including those on leave) and graduates of colleges of engineering or higher.
The design idea category will focus on creative ideas that apply digital technology to respond to sustainable needs such as population decline, carbon emission reduction, climate change, and space development. The BIM category will focus on SOC (social overhead capital) facilities such as civil engineering, facilities, and plants using BIM and digital models.
In particular, in the BIM sector, free online training content and offline training courses are provided to enable participants to easily access BIM software, and technical support is also provided to resolve difficulties that arise during the production of deliverables.
This competition will recruit participants from March 4th, and the ▲Design Idea category will accept entries from April 14th to May 16th, and the ▲BIM category will accept entries from May 1st to July 18th. The final 24 winning entries will be selected through fair evaluations by the judges, and the awards ceremony will be held on September 16th. The ranking of the winning entries will be determined through on-site voting by the newly introduced evaluation panel. The winners will receive four Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Awards, eight Korea Engineering Association President Awards, and 12 Engineering Mutual Aid Association Chairman Awards, and a total of 44.1 million won in prize money and trophies.
In addition, the final winning team will be provided with follow-up support. Winners in the design idea category will be able to receive support for prior art search for patent applications for their ideas and a letter of recommendation from the association president if they so choose. Winners in the BIM category who wish to work at companies participating in the recruitment linkage program will be able to receive recruitment linkage benefits provided by each company.
