Congratulations to the Winning Team: CEMEX Construction Sustainability Competition
To enhance academic-industry initiatives for sustainability-driven innovation, a fruitful collaboration took place between the Department of Construction Engineering, the AUC Career Center, and Cemex Egypt. The current fall semester witnessed a co-designed competition exclusively for AUC construction engineering graduating seniors as part of their fall 2025 thesis projects. A total of 23 undergraduate students, organized into six groups, participated in the competition, addressing pressing sustainability and resilience challenges facing the construction sector in Egypt and beyond.
The successful challenge culminated in an awards ceremony where the top projects were recognized. The winning project is titled “Returning to Nature: Deconstructable Housing with Biodegradable Materials for Shelters" by students Kareem Mostafa, Mohamed Batah, Mohamed Shatat, and Youssef Khairy.
