Echoes of the lab — CIVIL technical event at Invente '26Civil

Echoes of the lab

Civil Engineering


Listen to the sounds of different Civil Engineering laboratory equipment and activities and guess what they are! Participants will first identify the instruments and write their answers. The selected participants will then compete in a buzzer round, where they must identify the sounds quickly and correctly.

Event Round Details

Description

A pictorial based representing sheets will be given, where the participants should identify the given instruments and equipments and write within the given stimulated time.

Rules
  • Before the actual competition begins, one sample question will be displayed to all participants to explain the format and ensure that everyone understands how the game works.
  • All participating teams will be provided with Pictorial question sheets.
  • Time stamps will be recorded for each team which completes and submits one by one.
  • Points will be awarded for every correct answer.
  • Copying of answers is strictly prohibited and the final decision lies with the Event organizing team.
  • Based on the scores obtained, the selected/highest-scoring teams will qualify for Round 2.
Description

Echoes of the Lab is a sound-based guessing game inspired by the sounds commonly heard in the Civil Engineering laboratory and construction field. Participants will play different sounds one at a time, including Civil Engineering laboratory sounds, material-related sounds, construction equipment and machinery sounds, and other sounds commonly heard at construction sites. The participants must identify and guess the source/type of each sound based solely on what they hear.

Rules
  • The selected teams will compete in a buzzer-based round.
  • A sound will be played, and teams must identify it.
  • The team that presses the buzzer first will get the opportunity to answer.
  • Points will be rewarded for correct answers according to the round's scoring scheme.
Tie Breaker

In case two or more teams have the same final score, an additional sound-based question will be played as a tiebreaker. The teams will compete using the buzzer. The team that presses the buzzer first and gives the correct answer will win the tiebreaker. If the first team to answer gives an incorrect answer, the opportunity may be given to the next team, as decided by the organizers.

About the event

Shake & Stand is a two-round structural engineering challenge where teams first prove their civil engineering knowledge and teamwork, then put their structural design skills to the ultimate test by building an earthquake-resistant tower and challenging it on a shake table. Design and construct a seismic-resistant multi-storey frame tower using only the materials provided. The tower shall have an overall height of 35–40 cm, with each storey measuring 5–8 cm in height and a base plan of 10 × 10 cm. The frame shall be designed for maximum stability, strength, and resistance to simulated earthquake vibrations. The completed tower will be subjected to shake-table testing to evaluate its seismic performance, lateral deformation, stability, and resistance to earthquake-induced vibrations.
