Road Olympics

ETSi Road Olympics

The Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Seville has participated in the Road Olympics since the 2021/22 academic year. This Olympiad is aimed at 12 teams from 1st and 2nd ESO and, unlike other types of competition, seeks to test the quick response capacity and structural intuition of 5 secondary school students working as a team. The tests have different degrees of difficulty, but they allow you to exercise leadership roles, attitude towards a problem, the ability to work in a team or, for example, adaptation to limited means and tools.

These Olympics are made up of a local Phase and a National Phase attended by the winning teams of the local phases.

The sending of information to secondary schools is usually done in October, with a reminder in January, and one or two teams can be registered by completing a Registration Form in digital mode. 

IV Road Olympiad


The Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Seville, ETSi, hosted on April 22, 2022, the regional phase of the IV National Road, Channel and Port Engineering Olympiad, which hosted more than 60 1st and 2nd year students. of Compulsory Secondary Education.

The College of Civil Engineers, Canals and Ports, and some of the Schools that teach the Master's degree in Civil, Canal and Port Engineering, which gives access to this profession in Spain, have joined forces with the aim of giving it to meet among Secondary students, as well as encourage their approach to the University.

Among the objectives of the Olympiad is to test the rapid response capacity and structural intuition of different groups of high school students working as a team. The tests have different degrees of difficulty, but they allow us to gain a good understanding of the leadership roles of the participants, their attitude towards a problem, the ability to work as a team, adaptation to limited media and work tools, etc.
