The event showcased various designs of miniature bridges that were constructed by 49 teams on the day itself. Two teams from the Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST) emerged as the first and second runners-up, while the Champion was from the National University. Other special awards were given to teams from the Manuel L. Quezon University (Best in Aesthetics) and University of Santo Tomas (Best in Load Prediction).
