Mix Design Concepts - Technical Session

Our Department, in association with the ICI Student Chapter and the Association of Civil Engineers (ACE) organized a technical session on “Mix Design Concepts” for the fifth semester students on 1st and 2nd July 2026. The objective was to to enhance students’ understanding of concrete mix design principles and practices. The session was led by Er. Shyju Nair, CEO of DH Academy and Secretary of ICI Kochi Centre, an expert in the field of concrete technology.

The session provided insights into the fundamentals of concrete mix design, design approaches, key parameters influencing mix proportioning, and relevant standards and best practices followed in the construction industry. Through practical examples and real-world applications, the resource person highlighted the importance of proper mix design in achieving strength, durability, economy, and sustainability in concrete structures.

The programme served as an excellent platform for bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and industry requirements. Students actively participated in the interactive discussion and Q&A session and concluded with positive feedback from participants.

All the best Preethi miss.

It’s bittersweet to write this, but our beloved Preethi miss is bidding farewell to FISAT today, 30 June 2026. As one of the most loved teacher of our department, she wasn't just a teacher - she was a true friend for students who always went the extra mile to guide and support them. Whether she was inspiring students in the classroom or lighting up college events with her singing and dancing, she brought so much life and joy to our department. Thank you for everything, and we will miss you immensely!
