Bio

Dr. Dhanya Sathyan currently serves as Chairperson and Associate Professor at Department of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Coimbatore Campus. Her areas of research include Structural Engineering and Concrete Technology. She pursued her M.Tech. in Structural Engineering from NIT Calicut and PhD in the area of cement superplasticizer compatibility from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.

Innovation in Teaching and Learning

  • 15CVL442: Concrete Technology
    To get more insight into the properties and nature of concrete, a hands on training session was arranged with the support of L&T Engineers Er L S Kannan(JGM &Head concrete management department) and Er.Umamaheswaran V. This gives a different experience to the students about the theory and practical implementation in the field.
    Student got an opportunity to apply their class room learning to field. This improved their ability to prepare concrete with required property with less number of trial.
