NATIONAL CIVIL ENGINEERING QUIZ 2016
GUIDELINES AND MECHANICS
I. GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. The contest shall consist of three (3) Qualifying Rounds, a Semifinal Round, and a Final
Round.
2. Each round shall be composed of the Easy, Average, and Difficult divisions. Questions of
each round shall come from the major fields of civil engineering and other fields related to
the discipline. Refer to Part V for the coverage of questions per subfield.
General Category Subfields General Category Subfields
Statics of Rigid Construction Construction Materials,
Engineering Science Bodies, Dynamics of Engineering and Construction Project

5. The questions shall be chosen randomly. The chosen category will be specified before each
question is delivered, and the time allotted will be specified before the question statement.
Each question will be read twice before the timer starts. Teams can start answering as soon
as the question is displayed on the screen.
6. All teams must raise their boards as soon as the time allotted elapses. For questions with
allotted time greater than 10 seconds, a warning tone will be heard 10 seconds before the
time ends. The time allotted for each level of difficulty are as follows:
Difficulty Time
Easy 20 seconds
Average 40 seconds
Difficult 60 seconds
Conceptual Questions (any difficulty) 10 seconds
7. For multiple choice questions, teams must write their final answer in uppercase letters only.
Answers in lowercase letters will not be considered.
8. To ensure uniformity and accuracy, numbers shall be rounded off only on the final answer.
For simplicity, when the number to the right of the rounding digit ranges from five (5) to
nine (9), always round up the rounding digit.
9. As a general rule for computational problems, the final answer should be stated in two (2)
decimal places UNLESS specified otherwise.
Required form of answer Answer
Percent 67.43%
Decimal Degrees 82.57 ̊
Degree-minutes 82 ̊ 34.20’
Degree-minute-seconds 82 ̊ 34’12.07”
Scientific Notation 1.54 x 106
Answer unnecessary of decimal places Answer
How many systems? Express your answer in
3 (3.00 shall be considered incorrect)
whole numbers.
How many bolts are needed? Express your
6 (6.00 shall be considered incorrect)
answer in whole numbers.
Participants must still state their final answers in two (2) decimal places even if the re-
sulting answer is a whole number, unless specified otherwise in the question (i.e. the
question explicitly stated to express the answer in whole numbers).
Sample Computation: 400 N x 2.5 m = 1000.00 N-m (1000 N-m shall be considered incor-
rect.)
Sample Computation: 15°53.73’ + 34°24.27’ = 50°18.00’ (50°18’ shall be considered incorrect.)
If the decimals become zero due to rounding off, do not discard the decimals.
Sample computation: 3.4444 + 2.5555 = 5.9999 = 6.00 (6 shall be considered incorrect.)
22
In the case of degree measurements, participants must state their final answers in deci-
mal degrees by default unless specified otherwise.
10. For the values of some important constants, refer to the following table. Listed in the table
are the values to be used in computations unless other values are specified in the problem.
Constant Value
Acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2
Density of water 1000 kg/m3 or 1 g/cm3
Unit weight of water 9810 N/m3 or 9.81 kN/m3
11. The final answer shall indicate the proper unit as specified in the problem. Moreover, the
final answer shall follow the required form of answer. (For example, if the problem requires
that the final answer must be in degrees-minutes, answers that are in decimal degrees and
degrees-minute-seconds will be considered incorrect.)
12. Any teams to give an answer without indicating the correct unit and decimal place will be
considered incorrect. Likewise, illegible and incomplete answers will be awarded no points.
13. For identification problems, answers shall be stated in complete words—spelled out and
spelled correctly. Acronyms will be considered incorrect unless otherwise specified.
14. For correct answers, points shall be awarded accordingly.
Difficulty Points
Easy 15
Average 25
Difficult 35
15. Answers should be erased only after all the answers have been checked and after all the
protests have been resolved. The UP ACES Academics Committee shall entertain these pro-
tests only before the next question is read, or, if it is the last question of the round, before
the end of the round. If the answer is still not agreed upon, the decision of the Board of
Judges, composed of the present faculty members of the UP College of Engineering, shall be
considered final.
16. If a question is deemed to be void by the Board of Judges, no points/merit will be awarded
for the void question. The void question will be replaced with another question.
17. The primary reference for concrete design is the National Structural Code of the Philippines
2010 (NSCP 2010). For steel design, American Institute for Steel Construction (AISC) Manual
(13th edition) shall be used.
18. Changes in the line-up are allowed 7 days before the contest proper. If there are changes
made in the line-up within 7 days prior, participants are no longer entitled to personalized
certificates. Instead, they will be given blank certificates. Contestants and alternates of one
team may not play for another team. Substitution of an original contestant by an alternate
(and vice versa) will be allowed only before any round.
19. To maintain a conducive contest environment at the NCEQ venue, the audience are ex-
pected to exhibit proper decorum and avoid making excessive or unnecessary noise. The
23
audience will also be asked to turn off or put to silent mode their mobile phones and other
electronic devices so as not to cause distraction during the contest. If anybody is caught
violating this, the person will be called and may be asked to leave the place especially if the
warning is not heeded.
20. Use of any type of recording cameras (i.e. camera phones, tablets, computers, and other
gadgets) will NOT be allowed inside the venue. No one is allowed to take pictures other than
the official photographers of the event. Anybody who wishes to have his/her picture taken
may approach the official photographers. Those who will be caught violating this may be
asked to leave the place as well.
21. Participants WILL NOT BE ALLOWED the use of mobile phones and other communication de-
vices. Participants are REQUIRED to surrender their mobile phones to the cell phone counter
during registration. If a participant is caught using communication devices during the con-
test proper, his/her team will be disqualified.
2. There will be 12 questions allotted for both Qualifying Round 1 and Qualifying Round 2, and
15 questions for Qualifying Round 3. None of the points will be carried over from one round
to the succeeding other.
3. Should ties exist for the last qualifying slot/s of any Qualifying Round, there shall be a
Clincher Round for the teams in contention until the tie/s is/are broken. The procedures are
similar to that of the Qualifying Round (i.e. all tied contenders will raise their boards when
the allotted time runs out). The teams to claim the contested slots will be decided as follows:
24
● If the number of teams to answer correctly is equal to the number of viable contested
slot/s, they shall automatically claim the said slot/s.
● If the number of teams to answer correctly is less than the number of viable contested
slot/s, they shall claim the slot/s while the remaining slot/s will be vied by the remaining
teams.
● If the number of teams to answer correctly is more than the number of viable contested
slot/s, they shall move on to another clincher question while the the teams who answered
incorrectly shall be eliminated in vying for the contested slot/s.
Example:
In Qualifying Round 3 (Qualifying Teams: 8), 5 teams are tied for 7th Place. Since only 2
of the 5 tied teams will advance, there shall be Clincher Round.
