MUNTINLPA City, NCR (April 6, 2017) – Laurice Emylle Alday Sy (DLSZ 2017) is one of the ten proud winners of the 2017 Fluor Engineering Challenge grants. Working with limited materials and their imaginations, the students used the engineering design process to build an efficient irrigation design using only cups, tin foil, tape and craft sticks.
The Fluor Engineering Challenge was created to help educators meet the latest standards for science and engineering literacy. This year’s Fluor Engineering Challenge was originally developed by engineers from Fluor’s Manila office in the Philippines as part of the global company’s annual employee competition held in celebration of Engineers Week. With the help of an expert team of scientists and educators from Science Buddies, this employee competition was adapted to provide students the opportunity to experience how real-life engineers design solutions, and to show students first-hand how fun engineering can be.
“The annual Fluor Engineering Challenge, designed by and for employees, has been an important part of Fluor’s 50-year tradition of celebrating Engineers Week” said Mark Landry, senior vice president and chief Human Resources officer for Fluor Corporation. “Thanks to our innovative partnership with Science Buddies, we’re pleased to be able to share this fun and engaging resource with students across the globe to provide a glimpse into this rewarding and thought-provoking profession.”
