Our department's students have reached the finals in the International Seismic Design Competition, which will be organized for the 21st time this year by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). Having previously competed in the finals in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and achieved various degrees, our students' project proposals this year were chosen as the best project proposals by the competition jury. Thus, our students, who will start the competition one step ahead by receiving bonus points, are wished success, and we would like to thank our sponsors for their support.
