The North Hesse Construction Industry Award is presented annually. It is sponsored by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Stufenausbildung (Bau) Kassel - ASK and is endowed with a total of € 3,000. The award is made in cooperation with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering to students of the department for outstanding theses. The selection criterion is that the work to be awarded makes a contribution to solving significant problems in engineering practice, taking into account cost-effective planning, design and construction.
The North Hessian Construction Industry Award continues the tradition of the KBB Award, which was first presented in 1988. It is thus the oldest award for student work at the University of Kassel.
The prize is awarded annually in a public ceremony to which the ASK and the Dean of the Faculty invite.
