The department hosted the second in the series "Civil House" on 18 June 2021, 4:00PM. The guest of honour was Mr. Akhil M Unni, graduate from the first batch of B.Tech at FISAT (2011-2015). Mr. Akhil is currently working with Hills and Fort Constructions LLC, Dubai. He beautifully narrated his life after B.Tech focussing on how he was able to start off his career as a Civil Engineer.
His talk focussed on underground structures, the work he has undertaken. The highlight of the session was the photographs of the construction sites he worked and the way he beautifully connected theory to practice. He stressed on the importance of understanding the theory behind what is practiced in the field.
He opened up for questions at the end, and was very open to the questions raised by students as well as faculty members. The questions ranged from how to apply for the job, how to search for job, the job sites that can help, what should be the focus of the fresher, opportunities for women engineers and the importance of using contacts for getting an opening. He also shared his experience working abroad, work atmosphere, the challenges he faced in his life. Thank you Akhil, we appreciate the time you had spent with us. We wish you all the very best.
