Highlights of Civil Engineering Department
Successful Internships with CMDA
Congratulations to our final-year Civil Engineering students, Gunabalan G, Chinnaiah M, Hari Gowtham S, and Hariharan S, for successfully completing their internships with the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA). Further, the CMDA, under the Tamil Nadu government, is responsible for regulating physical developments in Chennai. Also, this internship provided our students with invaluable hands-on experience in urban planning and development.
One-Day Industrial Visit for 3rd Year Civil Engineering Students
On November 5, 2022, a field visit was organized for the courses Environmental Engineering and Design of Reinforced Cement Concrete. Third-year Civil Engineering students, accompanied by two faculty members, participated actively in this program. Furthermore, resource persons Dr.G.Sreelal and Mr.B.Dhilip Kumar, Assistant Professors in the Department of Civil Engineering, conducted the visit. Also, during the visit, 110 students gained valuable knowledge about dam construction, water conveyance systems, and structural reinforcement design. Thus, this made this field visit a highly educational experience.
Publication Incentive
Dr. Sujatha, the Head of the Civil Engineering Department, received a publication incentive of Rs. 66,900 from the KGI Chairman, recognizing her contributions to academic research and publication.
Workshop on MEP Systems
Dr. S. Sujatha, Head of the Department, along with Dr. G. Balaji Ponraj and Mr. E. Arun Revanth, Assistant Professors, attended a workshop at UNIQUE MEP in Trichy. So, this workshop provided valuable insights and advanced knowledge in Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems, enhancing their expertise in these critical areas.
Symposium Success
Our 3rd-year Civil Engineering students proudly received prizes and certificates at the symposium held at Roever College of Engineering and Technology. Also, their outstanding performances demonstrated their knowledge, skills, and dedication to their field.
AWS Talk
The department recently hosted an insightful talk on Amazon Web Services (AWS), providing students with a comprehensive understanding of cloud computing and its applications in civil engineering. Additionally, this session equipped our students with valuable knowledge on leveraging AWS technologies for innovative solutions in their projects and future careers.
Survey Workshop
Final-year Civil Engineering students conducted a survey workshop for the 3rd-year students, focusing on site marking techniques and practical survey methods. Moreover, this hands-on experience provided junior students with valuable insights into the fieldwork aspects of civil engineering.
Sports Corner
Our final-year students clinched the zonal first prize in basketball, showcasing their teamwork and athletic prowess. Additionally, our second-year students won a prize for their impressive performance in handball. Additionally, this event highlights of civil engineering department at KRCT being multifaceted for students to shine in all aspects.
Peer Learning Initiative
In a collaborative effort to enhance learning, our final-year Civil Engineering students conducted peer learning classes for the second-year students. This peer-to-peer teaching approach fosters a supportive learning environment where students can exchange knowledge, clarify concepts, and strengthen their understanding of course materials. It reflects the spirit of teamwork and academic excellence within our department.
Arduino and its Applications in Building Construction
In an informative session, our department explored the role of Arduino technology in modern building construction. This talk delved into the innovative applications of Arduino microcontrollers, such as monitoring environmental conditions, controlling lighting systems, and optimizing energy efficiency in buildings. By integrating Arduino technology, civil engineers can enhance the functionality, sustainability, and efficiency of construction projects, paving the way for smarter and more interconnected built environments.
To Conclude
Thus, these activities and achievements are the highlights of civil engineering department, showcasing its dynamic and multifaceted nature. Through internships, industrial visits, workshops, and academic initiatives, our students and faculty continue to strive for excellence and innovation in the field of civil engineering.
