Around 40 students attended the webinar with keen interest & enthusiasm throughout. This came out to be a different learning experience altogether for the students as they gained knowledge(without being in same physical space as the speaker)about prioritising Green Construction & environment protection as the need of the hour and how to incorporate solar energy as a sustainable, affordable and cleaner source with rapid urbanisation and industrialisation in developing countries. We thrive for more such sessions during these challenging times.
6. Webinar on Building Design by CADD Centre, Hazratganj
Lucknow, 25thApril, 2020: A webinar on “Building Design & Emerging Trends in Civil Engineering” was organized in Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering & Technology, University of Lucknow on 25th April, 2020 for the students of B. Tech, Civil Engineering.
This webinar, held in 2 sessions, aimed at providing the students with the knowledge of various trends emerging in the field of building design along with providing a new positive perspective & learning approach during this global pandemic.
Session 1: ‘Pandemic Crisis’ Or ‘A Great Opportunity’
Webinar was presided over by Prof. R.S Gupta, Coordinator/Incharge, FOET, University of Lucknow who inaugurated the webinar. Introduction of the programme was given by Er. Nidhi Srivastava.
Mr. Rajendra Kumar, a motivational speaker, started the session with great energy & enthusiasm. He came as a guiding light for the students, encouraging them to perceive this global lockdown situation as a great opportunity to learn & enhance their skills in various fields related to Civil Engineering & Building design. His positive approach helped the students to overcome the stress & anxiety regarding the future uncertainties due to Covid-19.
Session 2: Building Design & Emerging Trends
The session was taken over by Mr. Ali Ansari, a software expert in Building Design. He started the session with the introduction of various softwares involved in building design & their wide range of applications in different aspects of drafting & drawing. Initially, the students learned about the drawing & drafting concepts with the help of AUTOCAD followed by the structural design of a building. This involved the use of STAAD Pro for structural analysis of individual components of a building like beams & columns. The students understood these concepts with the help live demo of the analysis showcased in the software.
Further, he emphasized on the architectural importance of a building, moving on to another software i.e. Revit Architecture. Live models of buildings designed with Revit were shown to the students with a new trending concept of ‘Walkthrough’ which is used in live projects nowadays. Finally, the session moved on to another important aspect of Construction projects, i.e. Project Management & Project Planning.
At the end of webinar students raised several queries and expert answered their all questions satisfactorily. The webinar was successfully concluded with a formal vote of thanks to all the participants and the dignitaries present during the webinar.

The job market is one of the most competitive we have ever known. Very often employers tell us that a degree alone is not indicative of a well-rounded graduate. It is very strongly felt that during graduation effort should be made to help the students to develop all round personality. To achieve this goal we should not just provide the opportunities for students to achieve good academic results but actively promote the benefits of a wider curriculum to the students. The Council will provide opportunities through which students can prepare themselves to succeed in the many and varied roles they will have to undertake in their future life. To recognise the importance and value of both academic curriculum and co-curricular activities in developing the range of skills and attributes that are important for graduates.

Introduction of a new course structure in 2017 have provided an opportunity to the undergraduate students to build a carrier to suit their interests and aspirations. The curriculum enables students to develop their subject knowledge, academic literacy and a range of complementary capabilities. Apart from academic curriculum there is co-curricular and extra-curricular activities which means any activity that falls outside the academic curriculum but it is part of Engineering curriculum. To keep the programme functional various councils have been formed. These councils are as under:
All the councils have one faculty member as convener and five students one from each branch nominated by the convener as member. Moreover all the councils will work under Chairman, Council of Students Activities (CSA). All the students are required to participate at least in any two activities of the council according to their interest and liking. There are 50 marks on the performance of these activities as General Proficiency (GP). These marks are awarded in the form of grade and not counted in the academic grade.
