This
competition takes the format of "Three Minute Thesis" which was
originally developed by the University of Queensland for graduate students.
Students have three minutes to present one PowerPoint slide on a case study of
a civil infrastructure or a building failure. The competition encourages
participants’ communication skills through effectively presenting a failure
case study in just three minutes.
