Student Chapter Activities-Civil Engineering Department

On 10 April 2026, the student chapters of the Indian Geotechnical Society, Indian Concrete Institute and Indian Water Works Association of  Don Bosco College of Engineering successfully organised a series of activities aimed at developing creativity, technical skills, and awareness among students. The activities conducted were IGS – Photography Event, ICI – Cube Test Competition, IWWA – Quiz Competition

The IGS student chapter organised a Photography Event to encourage students to observe and capture geotechnical aspects in their surroundings. Participants captured photographs related to soil behaviour, construction activities, and natural formations.The event enhanced students’ creativity and observational skills.It provided a platform to interpret engineering concepts through visual representation.The activity promoted innovative thinking beyond conventional classroom learning.

The ICI student chapter conducted a Cube Test Competition focusing on practical aspects of concrete technology. Students prepared and tested concrete cubes for compressive strength.The competition involved mixing, casting, curing, and testing procedures.It helped students gain hands-on experience in laboratory practices and quality control.The event emphasized the importance of concrete strength in structural design.

The IWWA student chapter organised a Quiz Competition .It enhanced students’ technical knowledge and quick thinking abilities. The activity encouraged team participation and healthy competition.

Outcomes of the Event: Increased student engagement in co-curricular activities, Improved practical knowledge and technical understanding, Enhanced teamwork, creativity, and analytical skills, Encouraged awareness of real-world engineering challenges, Strengthened the role of professional student chapters in academic development

The activities conducted were highly successful and beneficial. Each event contributed uniquely to the holistic development of students by combining creativity, practical exposure, and technical knowledge. Such initiatives play a crucial role in shaping competent and industry-ready engineers.
