Alumni Webinar Series

The department took a step forward today with the ASCE student chapter hosting the first session of the Alumni Webinar Series. The guest of honour was Mr. Ananthu Krishanan who is a passout from the first batch(2015) of the  CE department.  

The session was about the different professions within the Civil Engineering domain. It was fascinating to listen to Ananthu sharing his experience working abroad and describing the nuances of the various job titles.  We could sense the enthusiasm in his presentation and it was reflected in the feedback obtained from the attendees.

Kudos ASCE and Ms. Gayathri Krishnakumar, Asst professor and Alumni of the department who took the lead and created this opportunity.

The department looks forward to more alumni volunteering and sharing their experience and guiding their juniors. This lovely poster was designed by Divya S from S6.

One more online semester 😔

Who would have thought one year back, that COVID 19 will last this long? The worst we imagined was that the 2020 graduating batch will have to leave the campus without the usual festivities and farewell parties and 2021 will be back on track. Many were optimistic that the 2021 batch will have formal classes and campus will get back to normal. 

As days passed we realised that it will take more time, but, we never expected that the 2021 graduates will also go through the same story.

Today, 16 March, marked the first day of online classes for the S8, the final semester of the 2021 batch. Teachers and students were back online - looking face to face through a screen. One month of contact classes is proposed by KTU during the month of June - thats the hope for now!!!
