Civil Engineering Association Immersion Program
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.

This auction turned out to be an exciting event among the students as well as it provided knowledge over few famous buildings in the world.
Cube Cast
Cube Cast event was conducted as a part of this celebration to enrich their practical knowledge. The event bonded not only the cement and aggregates but also the Juniors Seniors of our Department. Students moulded concrete as well as their knowledge through this event. First year students were excited over the insights and the network this event provided. Now, the participants are awaiting for the day their cubes will be tested on.
Knowledge Hunt
CEA celebrates Marathon week throughout this week. Knowledge hunt was one such event conducted as a part marathon week. It replicated the tresure hunt strategies with 7 different teams. — At the beginning the clue is given to each team, with the help of clue every team to find the nect clue by the technical wordings. It is organized my 3rd year student of our department Dhileepan.
Idea Presentation
The technical event to present ideas for a problem statement was held for Second year students with profoundness. The current challenges of the industry were given to them with which they formulated the ideas to change for the betterment. Solutions were proposed for the Sustainable Living using Eco-friendly Structures, Usage of Renewable Materials, IOT in Civil Engineering, Automation processes addressing the Pollution and Skilled Labour issues. To highlight the importance of Journal Publication, our beloved professor Dr. Sathyamoorthy explained briefly about the Paper Publication processes and motivated the participants to publish a paper towards their work.

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.
PEP TALK 009 – MOMENT TO SMILE
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”
PEP TALK 10 -The Journey of an Entrepreneur Who Inspired Him
The final year civil department from the Subramanian talks about the Matrix Club of the President, ‘The Journey of an Entrepreneur Who Inspired Him’.

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.

PEP TALK 13 – Public speaking
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.
