P V Mathew Scholarship
Pre-INQUA 2027
The workshop brought together researchers, academicians and professionals working in the areas of Quaternary earth processes, geohazards and related earth science disciplines. The programme provided an excellent platform for sharing recent research findings and facilitating academic interactions among researchers from different institutions.
Ms. Panjami K, Assistant Professor, from our department participated in the workshop through an oral presentation on soil piping, focusing on its geophysical characterisation and assessment using machine learning and risk assessment approaches.
Participation in such research-oriented workshops provides valuable opportunities for faculty members to exchange ideas, receive expert feedback and explore possibilities for future academic and research collaborations.

TECH VS. TOUCH: A Debate on Construction Quality
The ICI Student Chapter and our Department Association ACE jointly organised TECH VS. TOUCH, a debate competition on the topic “Can Construction Quality Be Ensured Through Technology Alone?” on 30 September 2026.
This is probably the first time that we are organising a debate in the department. The idea was to make students interact, speak, improve their communication skills. The students participated with lot of enthusiasm, exchanged ideas, challenge perspectives. The debate encouraged them to present logical arguments, cite examples and brought some interesting conversations about how technological advancements can improve accuracy, efficiency, and quality control in the construction industry.

The event provided a valuable platform for students to strengthen their communication, critical-thinking, and analytical skills while engaging with an important question facing the construction industry. It reinforced the idea that achieving construction quality requires a balanced combination of technological innovation and human expertise.
