ACTIVITIES OF TECHNICAL ASSOCIATION & STUDENTS CHAPTER OF PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY

SCALE (Sivanthi Civil Association for Learning Engineers) is the student association introduced to bring out the hidden talents of the students and improve their skills in various fields of Civil Engineering.

The college is a member of ICI– Chapter (Indian Concrete Institute) and we are having ICI – Students’ chapter in our college.

Inauguration of Indian Concrete Institute, ICI – Students’ Chapter

The inaugural function of Indian Concrete Institute, ICI – Students’ chapter was held in Dr.Sivanthi Aditanar college of Engineering on 19th September 2011. Mr.S.K.Jain, Sr.Superintending Engineer of Zirconium complex, Palayakayal, Tuticorin, was the chief guest.

Honorable chief guest Mr.S.K.Jain delivered an interesting guest lecture after talking about uniqueness of Civil Engineers. In the lecture “Role of Civil Engineers in durable structures”, he kindles the minds of every budding Civil Engineers present there. He discussed in detail about durability of the structure, factors governing the strength, durability and gave some valuable suggestion to improve it. He shared some of his interesting technical encounters in his 30 years of experience.

Inaugural session was followed by a Technical paper presentation (TECH INVADERS’11) as a part of ICI-Students’ chapter activity. Papers were presented on topics like recycled aggregate concrete, Green building, Nano Technology in Civil Engineering, Fibre reinforced concrete.
