Prof. Dr. Ashraf Heniegal, President of Suez University, congratulated the team from the Faculty of Technology and Education after winning second place in the “FRC Bowling Ball Competition 2026,” organized by the student chapter of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) at the Faculty of Engineering, Tanta University, which is ranked among the top 100 student chapters worldwide.
The students’ participation in the competition was sponsored by the President of the University and supervised by Prof. Dr. Hossam El-Din Mostafa Attia, Dean of the Faculty of Technology and Education. The project received academic supervision from Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Saad Agwa, Professor of Material Properties and Strength of Materials in the Department of Civil and Architectural Constructions and Vice Dean of the Faculty of Technology and Education, in addition to Associate Professor Bassam Abdel Salam Abdel Salam, Head of the Department of Civil and Architectural Constructions. Both provided technical and scientific support to the team throughout all stages of the competition.
The competition witnessed engineering rivalry among eight teams representing six Egyptian universities. Students showcased their innovations in designing fiber-reinforced concrete bowling balls, which underwent precise testing procedures, including weight and dimension measurements, rolling accuracy tests, and crushing tests to evaluate durability and energy absorption. The team from Damietta University secured first place, while the “Suez 1” team from Suez University won second place, and the team from Tanta University came in third place.
The winning students from the Department of Civil and Architectural Constructions, Faculty of Technology and Education, are:
