Civil engineering is the oldest and one of the most versatile branches of engineering. Every structure that we see around today is a creation of civil engineering. Civil engineers design, construct, supervise, operate, and maintain large construction projects and systems, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment. Many civil engineers work in design, construction, research, and education.

The workshop was conducted by IREZ Academy. Various Non – Destructive Tests and their applications were discussed.Ultrasonic pulse velocity test and rebound hammer test were demonstrated.
National Science Day is celebrated in India on 28th February to mark the discovery of Raman effect by Sir. C. V. Raman.
As a part of national science day celebration, Dr. Deepa G. Nair, Professor at School of Engineering CUSAT, Cochin delivered a talk on “Sustainable Housing for Kerala”
The workshop was conducted by TICMAT Institute of Construction Management. The various construction management aspects like safety, quality control, quantity survey and estimation, project life cycle, pre-construction contracts and safety aspects related to construction and surveying concepts. Group activities were assigned to the students.
The training program was conducted by the training and support division of IEEE India
The awareness program was conducted to create an idea about the building information modelling among the students. The informative session was conducted by BIMLABS.
The awareness programme was conducted to commemorate the International Day for Disaster Management held every year on 13 October. This was conducted in association with the Fire and Rescue team, Kunnamkulam. Various disasters, safety measures and rescue measures were discussed and some of the rescue operations were demonstrated.
