ECSA’s roadshow in Cape Town held at the Cape Town Lodge Hotel on 30 August 2017 got off to a rocky start.

On the 24th August 2017, the SAICE UCT Student Chapter hosted its annual cocktail evening in the New Engineering Building at the University of Cape Town.

Another edition of the SAICE-WC Model Bridge Building Competition was held at Canal Walk on 20 May 2017. 31 teams of learners from 25 schools participated from across the greater Cape Town region and beyond! The competition has evolved over the years but fundamentally teams of three need to build a bridge with the materials provided that can span a set distance determined by the judges. The teams have rules they need to comply with regarding the method of construction and functional internal and external parameters that need to be met.
