BRIDGE-A-THON by ISTE

The Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) FISAT chapter on our campus has gained new momentum after winning the Best Faculty Chapter Award for the year 2023. The student chapter of ISTE organised  a technical festival ARCANE 1.0 on 31 August 2024 at our campus.

As part of ARCANE 1.0, the department organised a bridge making competition using ice-cream sticks, Bridge-A-Thon. The task for the teams was to make a bridge that is aesthetically pleasing and can withstand maximum load! 

In this 2.5 hr competition, 10 teams participated, and was held in the material testing lab of our department. Each team had 4 members. It was fascinating to see students using their skills and ideas to come out with different designs. 

After the final testing, the team consisting of Ali Arzlan (S5CEA), Cyril Pius (S5CSA), Dinil (S5CSA) and Abin S(S5CSA) was judged as the winners.  The runner up team was Gayathri P (S5CEA), Anmariya Babu (S5CEA), Aleena Mariya Jojo (S5CEA) and Ann Tressa Joseph (S5CEA). 

The winners were awarded with a cash prize by faculty advisor of ISTE student chapter Ms, Soumay S Raj during the prize distribution ceremony held at Civil seminar hall on 4th September 2024. Dr. Jacob Thomas V, Principal, Dr. Mini P R, Vice Principal also attended the event. 

The faculty event coordinator was Dr. Asha Joseph (Associate Prof.) and student coordinators were Sona M S (S7 CEA), Amala Poly (S5 CEA), Amna Farhath (S3 CEA) and Diya Rose Peter (S3 CEA).  The judging panel was Dr.Jiji Antony (Professor & HoD), Dr. Asha Joseph (Associate Prof), and Ms. Neeraja Nair (Assistant Professor).
