On November 2, 2025, the college successfully held the "Straw & Concrete Construction, Skyscraper Limit" straw structure competition. Participating teams formed by students from the 2024 and 2025 cohorts built architectural models with both height and toughness using ordinary straws, transforming mechanics knowledge into practical innovation.

After the launch of the activity, all participating teams demonstrated rich creativity. Some adopted a "triangular support + layered reinforcement" structure to enhance wind resistance; some innovated hollow frames to achieve lightweight load-bearing capacity; and other teams integrated streamlined aesthetic design to make engineering works both functional and artistic. By precisely cutting straws and ingeniously fixing joints, participating students vividly interpreted the engineering philosophy of "controlling complexity with simplicity". In the offline evaluation, the judging panel conducted professional assessment from four dimensions: height (record at 100 cm), wind stability, appearance design and material utilization rate. Finally, the team "Next Group Please" from Class 1 of Surveying and Mapping Engineering (2024) won the single award with an absolute height advantage, and the team "System of Linear Equations in Two Variables" from Class 2 of Surveying and Mapping Engineering (2025) won the overall championship with excellent wind resistance and creative design.

As a vivid classroom integrating theory and practice, this activity not only deepened students' understanding of mechanical principles, but also cultivated engineering thinking and innovation ability through teamwork. By breaking through material limitations, students stimulated their innovative potential, realized the craftsmanship spirit of "keeping improving" through hands-on practice, and injected practical momentum into their professional learning.
