3. Only PRC-approved scientific calculators as stipulated on the Professional Regulation Commis-

sion Memorandum Circular No. 2004-06 dated March 4, 2004 (listed at http://www.prc.gov.ph/
page.aspx?id=3), such as those with matrix and root solving functions, may be used in the contest.
Programmable calculators, graphing calculators, calculators with sheet functions, and pocket

25
 computers are strictly prohibited. Should contestants bring any non-allowable devices, UP ACES
has the right to temporarily confiscate these items. The calculators will be checked before each
round by the UP ACES Academics Committee.
4. Each team shall be provided five (5) scratch papers bearing the logo of UP ACES, a board, an eras-
er, and a marker before each round. These items shall be collected after each round. Participants
are prohibited to take with them any of these items.
5. The questions shall be chosen randomly. The chosen category will be specified before each ques-
tion is delivered, and the time allotted will be specified before the question statement. Each ques-
tion 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. An-
swers 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), al-
ways 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 82̊34.20’
Degree-minute-seconds 82̊34’12.07”
Scientific Notation 1.54 x 106
Answer unnecessary of decimal places Answer
How many systems? Express your answer in whole
3 (3.00 shall be considered incorrect)
numbers.
How many bolts are needed? Express your answer
6 (6.00 shall be considered incorrect)
in whole numbers.

Participants must still state their final answers in two (2) decimal places even if the resulting answer
is a whole number, unless specified otherwise in the question (i.e. the question explicitly stated to
express the answer in whole numbers).

26
 Sample Computation: 400 N x 2.5 m = 1000.00 N-m (1000 N-m shall be considered incorrect.)

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.)

In the case of degree measurements, participants must state their final answers in decimal 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-min-
ute-seconds will be considered incorrect.)
12. Any teams to give an answer without indicating the correct unit and decimal place will be consid-
ered 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 protests 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

27
 (NSCP 2010). For steel design, American Institute for Steel Construction (AISC) Manual (13th edi-
tion) shall be used.
18. Changes in the line-up are allowed 14 days before the contest proper. If there are changes made
in the line-up within 14 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 expected to
exhibit proper decorum and avoid making excessive or unnecessary noise. The 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 devices.
Participants are REQUIRED to surrender their mobile phones to the cell phone counter during reg-
istration. If a participant is caught using communication devices during the contest proper, his/
her team will be disqualified.

II. QUALIFYING ROUNDS

1. The three (3) Qualifying Rounds shall be implemented as follows:
• Qualifying Round 1: Roster A and Roster B will each go through the first Qualifying Round sepa-
rately. The top four (4) teams from each roster, having clearly demonstrated mastery of the academic
areas, will automatically qualify for the Semifinal Round.
• Qualifying Round 2: Teams from each roster that have not qualified for the Semifinal Round will go
through the second Qualifying Round, again separately. The top four (4) teams from each roster will
likewise advance to the Semifinal Round.
• Qualifying Round 3 (Wildcard Round): The remaining teams from both rosters will be combined,
and these teams will be represented by one (1) member. The top eight (8) teams will have their
teams advanced to the Semifinal Round.

28
 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 suc-
ceeding 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:
• 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.

4. During the Qualifying Rounds 1 and 2, non-participating teams are required to participate in the
Civil Engineering Company Talk.

29
III. SEMIFINAL ROUND
1. Scores from the Qualifying Rounds will not be carried to the Semifinal Round. The Semifinal Round
shall consist of 15 questions (5 questions for each level of difficulty).
2. The top five teams with the highest scores shall advance to the Final Round.
3. Should ties exist for any place, same rules from the previous Qualifying Rounds will be applied to
break the ties until five (5) teams remain.

IV. FINAL ROUND

1. Scores from the Semifinal Round will not be carried to the Final Round. The Final Round shall con-
sist of 15 questions (5 questions for each level of difficulty) arranged in random order.
2. The Final Round will utilize a timer-buzzer device. The contestants shall be briefed on the mechan-
ics before the round starts.
3. Teams will be given 60 seconds to buzz their answers, regardless of difficulty. Each question will be
read twice before the 60-second timer starts. Teams may already press their buzzers as soon as the
question is displayed on the screen. The team who successfully buzzed will be given the chance to
raise their answer and will be given 5 seconds to do so. This will not be deducted from the allotted 60
seconds time limit (i.e. the main timer will be paused after a team has buzzed).
4. If the team’s answer is incorrect, the remaining teams may only press their buzzers after the quiz-
master announces that the previous answer was wrong. There is no limit on the number of steals,
however each team can only buzz their answers once per question.
5. At the end of the Final Round, the team with the highest score will be declared as the Champion,
while the teams with the second and third highest score will be declared as the First Runner-up and
Second Runner-up, respectively.
6. In case of a tie, the clincher round mechanics from the Qualifying Rounds and Semifinal Round will
no longer apply. Instead, the first one to buzz the correct answer will take the contested place. This
will continue until all places have been taken.
