GCE Chronicles, the newsletter group of the college, has been doing a great job in representing the college to the outside world in the proper manner and also in functioning as a bridge between the college and the society. The team has improved itself technically and professionally over the many releases. The recent innovative efforts by GCE Chronicles such as conducting interviews with faculty members, videotaping them and posting them online; posting interviews with Alumni of the college who have had significant achievements etc., stand testimony to the team’s improvement. The positive reviews from people outside are encouraging and I wish the newsletter team success in this Annual Edition ’13.

Dr. R. S. D. Wahida Banu

Principal

GCE, Salem

GCE Chronicles, the newsletter team of the college was initiated in the year 2010. Its first release

was the Annual Edition for the Year 2010 which was released on 1, January, 2011. Since then, the

newsletter team has brought out 12 newsletters which include four annual editions, three monthly

editions, one student edition, one project edition and two Gecofest special editions. The Annual Edition ’13

is the 13th release by GCE Chronicles. With every release, the team has improved in the various aspects

involved in the making of a newsletter such as designing, editing and publishing of a newsletter. With the

monthly editions started earlier this year, the team has showed its dedication in representing the college in

the right way to the society. GCE Chronicles will continue to bring out newsletters, upholding the rich

heritage of this 48-year old institution. We also take this opportunity to remember the previous Principals

and the present Principal for their support and encouragement to the newsletter team.

Workshop on Green Building

The Department of Civil Engineering

celebrated the ‚World Environment Day‛, on 5

June, 2013. Dr. N. Ganesan, Professor of Civil

Engineering, NIT, Calicut started the function by

planting a sapling in the host department. The

Principal, Dr. R. S. D. Wahida Banu presided over

the function. ‚Cement production emits huge

amounts of carbon-di-oxide into the atmosphere.

To mitigate this, replacement of cement with an

alternate material can be adopted, which is the

need of the hour in urban areas. The ideal usage

and disposal of industrial wastes safely without

affecting the environment has to be given

importance in the society. Usage of artificial sand

for construction has to be encouraged so that the

soil erosion in river basins can be controlled.

Students should actively take part in improving

sustainability,‛ said Dr. N. Ganesan. Associate

Professors of Civil Engineering Dr. D. Shoba

Rajkumar and Dr. V. Rajkumar, Assistant Professor

G. Arunkumar and other faculty members of Civil

Department were present on this occasion.

World Environment Day

The Society of Civil Engineers

was inaugurated by Dr. Manu

Santhanam, Professor, Building

Technology and Construct ion

Management division, IIT Madras on the

27, September, 2013. The Principal

Dr. R. S. D. Wahida Banu, Head of the

Department of Civil Engineering

Dr. S. Sukumar, and faculty members

were present. The Principal delivered the

Patron Address followed by the

Presidential Address by Dr. S. Sukumar.

The chief guest, a recipient of

many prestigious awards and honours in

the field of Concrete Technology,

conducted a seminar on, ‚Attaining

sustainability in concrete construction‚.

He emphasized the need for

incorporating newer technologies in the

production and performance of concrete

and its various advantages such as

decreasing the carbon output, increasing

the sustainability and durability etc. The

latter part of the function included

modelling and paper presentation

competitions for the students.

On the 24, August, 2013, IIT,

Bombay conducted an online workshop

in association with the Indian Society of

Technical Education (ISTE) on ‚Green

Building Awareness‛, under the National

Mission of Education across various

remote centers in the country. All third

with the relevant lecturers through an

online platform (moodle) for a week

before the workshop. ‚Team Shunya‛, is

the organization which conducted this

workshop and can be followed using its

Twitter account, @TeamShunyaSDE14.

An AICTE-sponsored staff development programme on

‚Behavior and Applications of Ferrocement and Fibre-Reinforced

composites‛ was conducted at Department of Civil Engineering

from the 3 to 14, June, 2013. The Chief Guest, Prof. P. Paramasivam,

Professorial fellow, National University of Singapore (NUS), said that

ferrocement and fiber reinforced composites will be suitable for

buildings constructed in earthquake and tsunami prone areas as

they possess more ductility and impact resistance, in his address.

Ferrocement can also be used to construct liquid storage tanks,

secondary roofing slabs, bullet proof walls and doors, boats and

also in improving the elevation of the buildings, he added.

The Principal, Dr. R. S. D. Wahida Banu, presided over the

function. Prof. G.Vimala Rosaline, Professor of Civil Engineering

(PG), offered felicitations. Dr. D. Shoba Rajkumar, Associate

Professor of Civil Engineering, Coordinator of the programme,

detailed the course plan. Around 50 civil engineering faculty

members from various colleges participated.

Engineering (CE) visited the Stanley Reservoir, Mettur on an

Educational Visit on the 6, September, 2013. The Water Treatment

plant in Mettur was the main place of interest. Students got

first-hand knowledge about the various processes involved in the

treatment of water. The Infiltration gallery of the Stanley reservoir

was also visited. Students studied the structural design of the dam

and the water flow through it. The visit helped them to understand

the applications of civil engineering in real life and also showed

them how this branch of science is profoundly used to create

structural wonders.

T h e r e s o u r c e p e r s o n ,

Dr. S. K. Subramanian, Scientist, Indian Space

Research Organization (ISRO), Hyderabad,

inaugurated the one-week long programme.

He started his discussion with the very basic

idea of using satellites for resolving the issue

of land grabbing. He remarked that India has

topped certain areas such as Recognition of

Oil Reserves, Ground Water Technology and

the Department of Communication. He

emphasized that by storing, maintaining and

digitalizing the land records in satellites, the

issue of land grabbing can have a

permanent solution. Also, he insisted that

the faculty should be well informed for

teaching this subject effectively and added

that students must take part in research

oriented process for a new technology

revolution. The Geographic Information

System (GIS) and Remote Sensing can be put

to various uses such as identification of rock

shelves, records of land, remote sensing

satellites, water reserves, oil reserves,

disaster management practice and urban

architecture, he added.

Dr. P.G. Venkatakrishnan, Principal

in-charge presided over the function.

National Service Scheme primarily focuses on the

development of personality of students through community service.

The four units in the college organize yearly camps which provide a

different experience for the students improving the social awareness

amidst students.

NSS Unit-1, held a camp with a motto - ‚Healthy Youth for

Healthy India‛ from the 18 to 24 of March at Kullakoundanur, a

village in the outskirts of Salem city. Dr. M. Santhi, Associate Head,

Unit-1 welcomed the students. Dr. R. S. D. Wahida Banu gave away

the presidential address and shared her valuable experience on NSS

during her college days. This enthusiastic team of 40 members

involved themselves in various activities such as Sapling Plantation

program, social awareness speeches, self-development classes, free

eye camp and awareness programs. The team also reached out to

the people of the locality, getting to know their difficulties which

helped them understand the differences in the society

Students of National Cadet Corps (NCC) of our college

proved their mettle by participating in various camps and activities

held at different places. A remarkable note was made by our NCC

team in Combined Annual Training Camp held at Mahendra

Engineering College, Trichengode. It emerged as the Winner in Drill

Competition and the Runner-up in Volleyball, Tent pitching and

Cultural programs. O. Isaunthang Kikon of third year, EEE was

selected as the Runner in Best Cadet selection. K. Saran of third

year, Mechanical emerged as the Winner in Health and Hygiene

exam conducted in the camp. Our team also participated in Inter
