Civil Engineering

The first immersion program for the members of CEA was so much interesting and there was a lot more to learn. The program had events that were new. It is held on January 11 & 12, 2020

It was helpful in a way to learn about Leadership, Self motivation and Communication. The parts of communication which included Deep freeze, Derive and Deliver taught the decorum of speaking on stage. We thank Mr. Hari Shankar, President of MBA for making his time for us.

We had a Skype call with one of our Seniors who’s currently studying his masters at Canada. We thank Mr. Pranesh for sharing his experience on his endeavors. That was really a good idea for people who had their idea on higher studies abroad.

The tapping of numbers should be named as learning the quality of being a better leader and to help us think out of the box than calling it as a game. That was the real time learning experience.

Finally, the movie “Invictus” of Nelson Mandela gave us the sensible note on leader and treating the fellowmen with equal rights that they deserve. Self portrait and SWOT analysis were also done for understanding and analysing ourselves as and individual. We look forward for more togetherness and team bonding for the immense positivity that it offers to us to impact more. We thank our department coordinator, hod and the management staffs who supported us in conducting this immersion program.

A poem for the Speaker

“Village life as a child from childhood

You went to the top of the intermediate course

You learned to correct both variables in debit mail with physics

In the sixth grade, the battery on top of the battery made you a gold medal at the Technical College

Five and a half hours of dedication to the word “single-minded devotion to your goal” to succeed in your work

Parents are proud to have a child like this

Teachers should be proud to teach a student like this

You have made a friend proud of his friendship

Veeramanikandan is the son of a hero who is going to set foot in ISRO in the future”

He shared his experience on the ISRO selection process.

Geetha M, President of Biotech department has shared with us the most important thing of life that’s “Time Management”. She has shared many strategies to keep up the time to attain our goals. The positivity in her made everyone more energetic. She was inspired by the book “Eat that frog by brain Tracy” which made her know the importance of Time management.

Her hobby was reading one book per week that made her stronger and gain good knowledge. On behalf of CEA, we would like to thank Geetha for her valuable speech. We extend our gratitude to studio for the wonderful pictures and the audience who graced the occasion.

Jayachandhran, a very passionate student from mechatronics department, gave his talk on Rocket Science. He is deeply inspired by APJ Abdul Kalam and his quotes. One of the greatest mile stone in his life was the rocket launch that he had made at our college campus at the time of Yugam, which further pushed him to reach great heights.

In this pep talk, he shared and explained how the space science or rocket is related to civil engineering. He also discussed in detail about the vacancies available for civil engineers in ISRO.

He said, it all started with a dream to be the “Missile boy of India “. Though there came lot of discouraging voices from all sides, his immense confidence and patience made him succeed in his interest.

On behalf of the Civil Department, CEA wishes Jayachandhran the best to succeed in all the endeavours and in chasing his dreams.

The speaker was a person with a proper intent of motivating the students and pushing them to be a skilled engineering rather than a normal engineer. He enlightened the crowd about how in today’s world the difficulty is not job opportunities, rather it is the lack of skilled engineers. In between this the speaker kept the audience glued to him by showing them the number of projects introduced by the Government of India and enriched their minds about the number of job opportunities each of such projects are giving. He affirmed that the students get a clear picture that it is not only on the field work but the software side too that jobs are available and that they too are jobs that require highly skilled engineers.

Why did the MONA LISA become one of the most famous paintings of all the time? That’s a question an incredible amount of people have asked themselves in the past. And one possible answer is this: Because of her unique smile.

Yes!! The topic is MOMENT TO SMILE. The last pep talk was given by Ms.Ajrithaa, 3rd yr civil department. She started with a small exercise and everyone woke up at that moment with a great smile. To all the broken hearts, life isn’t over yet. It still has a lot to teach you. For this moment, enjoy the pretty little things and wear a smile. To those who broke you, realize they were the one who made you smile too. Hear all mouths; still take your own decisions. Learn the lesson from one’s life, but never copy their life. This life is yours and your opponent isn’t the same as theirs.

The smile is “The symbol that was rated with the highest positive emotional content”

The final year civil department from the Subramanian talks about the Matrix Club of the President, ‘The Journey of an Entrepreneur Who Inspired Him’. Elon Musk, an entrepreneur who was committed to his dream and had goals that were impeccable. His big target is to colonize the Mars, he is the founder of companies such as Spacex, Paypal, Tesla, Open AI, Neuralink, Hyperloop, Boring Company. He was a successful entrepreneur with a rock bottom but with a rock bottom but not a professional career. And made his mark as a real life “tony stark”. The speaker ended the quote with the oration again, “Trying to make sense”, which means trying to proportional to success. This was the 10th successful PEP talk this academic year of CEA as a special day for the people. The President has made every single pep talk of the speakers possible and specially mentioned. The 3rd year civil from Syed Aadhil is done by a memento by Preethi of the 3rd year Civil to K. Subramanian as a token of Gratitude. The third year of Raj Sandeep by The Pep Talk concluded with a vote of thanks.

CDT.SGT Santhosh Kumar V E, who is currently doing his 3rd year civil engineering is one among the Senior Cadet in KCT – Air Wing. He commenced his speech introducing few interesting disclaimers and they surfed well through the topic “Perfect Engineering Defence”. He perfectly started his speech by stressing the importance of “Perfection” with great examples and quotes like “Perfection cannot be obtained in a single day, but this quality can be attained when followed up regularly as daily routine. He then inclined his talk towards the other important quality “Discipline”. He quoted that “Sun will rise only after hearing the sound of my boot’s stamp, it will comb its hair by looking into the reflection of my polished boots and the morning stars will always be on my chest”. Further, he added up that we should respect our seniors and teachers which will help is in lot of ways.

Finally, He dwelled into major impeccable topic “Defence”. He questioned everyone that “Are you proud to be Tamilan?” In addition to that referred an officer named ‘Natrajan Parthiban’ who is a proud tamilan and his contribution towards Indian defence is amazing.

Why not defence? It is not only a job, it is more than that and a dissolvable part of life.

In the world that strives for peace and prosperity, Many people are dyeing but in army only 30 members die and he also spoke about known sorgam , unknown sorgam and other sorgam.

Vishnu Dhyanesh. V from 2nd year B. Com PA KCLAS gave talk on public speaking.

We had a great session on do’s and don’ts about public speaking and stand up comedy. The main part for the public speech to be great is the body language. Then comes the vocal modulations and the content. So whatever the content may be if the body language is not good then the whole presentation would be ruined. Parts of the body to be taken care when speaking. Legs, hands, eyes, lips.

Eyes: Always maintain eye contact with the audience.

Legs: Use a certain pattern of walking don’t show your back which may not look majestic.

Hand: Wave your hands when explaining something this attracts audience attention.

Lips: Always smile smile smile.

A good joke contains 3 things:

The base , the high pitch, the punch line.

Base the audience with a good joke. Give them hype in the high pitch , and at last make them laugh through sudden fall as punch line.

These were the valuable insights shared by the Speaker. We thank him on behalf of Civil Department for his time. The PEP Talk series for this semester turned out to be an excellent end.
