Biberach, Deutschland - Yesterday at the Biberach (HBC) University of Applied Sciences, special attention was paid to the youngsters in civil engineering. At the awarding of the Young Engineers Awards 2025, outstanding student work was awarded. This institution is not only known for its innovative teaching methods, but also as a host of an event that rewardes talents that bring a breath of fresh air to the industry.

The Schwäbische Zeitung reports that the Baden-Württemberg (INGBW) engineering chamber has given the prizes. This year the award ceremony took place in cooperation with the HBC. With this event, the INGBW emphasizes the importance of young talents that play a key role in the future of civil engineering.

The winners

A total of five outstanding work was awarded. The focus was on innovative approaches in research and in designing, designing and measuring. Prof. Stephan Engelsmann, President of the INGBW, emphasized the relevance of such talents for the industry during the ceremony. The award winners are:

The role of Biberach University of Applied Sciences

The Biberach University of Applied Sciences has made a name for itself in Germany by combining the latest teaching and research in the areas of architecture, construction and biotechnology. Their focus on sustainability and the large practical relevance within the training are probably the recipe for the success of the graduates. Rector Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Bahr praised the successful students and thanked them for their commitment and performance.

A central player behind these awards is the Ingenieure Baden-württemberg . This professional representation has campaigned for the promotion and representation of engineers in the state since 1990. It not only offers support in professional development, but is also actively committed to high standards in the industry.

With the Young Engineers Award, not only current excellence is rewarded, but also a clear sign for the future of civil engineering is also set. Here fresh wind is brought to the industry and shown that new thinking can also produce new solutions.
