Aavishkar 2021

Another Edition of the Virtual Expo! When the talks for organising an exhibition to showcase final year projects began 5 years ago, little did we know that we would be hosting it ‘virtually’, that too, two years in a row. Since the pandemic has confined us to our homes since 2020, Aavishkar too moved to the digital platform to rate and review projects. 

The showcase provides an opportunity for final year students to demonstrate their projects and start a discourse in Civil Engineering with the added perk of the top few projects being awarded. The inauguration kicked off at 9.10am with the welcome speech by Ms Rajalakshmi, Assistant Professor. Subsequently, Ms Jiji Antony, Head of the Department, Civil Engineering inaugurated and launched the website. 

The event proceeded seamlessly to conclusion by 9.40am with a vote of thanks by Mr Abin Thomas, Assistant Professor, FISAT. This ’virtual’ edition featured Practitioner Advisor to ASCE Student Chapter FISA -Mr Johncy K Sam, ASCE-Southern Region President Mr Narasimha Chary Poluju and Dean: Academics,FISAT Dr. Mini P R.

The event received positive responses and was excellently coordinated by student volunteers. The https://sites.google.com/fisat.ac.in/aavishkar21 hosts an array of projects from various streams of Civil Engineering and will be an amazing learning experience for those who wish to explore this science. I, for one, thoroughly appreciated the showcase and what it had to offer. The rating was fun too. Hope you too have an experience as enjoyable as I had. Do leave your reviews and comments! Looking forward to the next edition of Aavishkar, with sincerest hopes that it will be in person, in our ever beloved venue-’Auditorium’ with the pandemic a distant memory.
