Advanced Water Treatment Research Lab

About the Lab

In this lab, fate and removal mechanisms of different pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) which are considered as emerging pollutants will be analyzed and their levels in the environment will be monitored. As most of these contaminants are not fully removed through the conventional waste water treatment methods and further through the natural attenuation processes, the toxicity effects of PPCPs will be predicted using simulation models along with laboratory experiments. Experimental study can be done in this lab to develop treatment methods to improve the removal rate of PPCPs from the environment

Key Words: Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), Toxicity effects of PPCPs, Removal rate of PPCPs, Water and waste water treatment for PPCPs

High Performance Concrete Lab

About the Lab

High performance concrete especially self compacting concrete (SCC) has got wide popularity in construction industry because of its ability to flow through congested reinforcement without segregation and bleeding. Even though European Federation of National Associations Representing for Concrete (EFNARC) guidelines are available for the mix design of SCC, large number of trials are required for obtaining an SCC mix with the desired engineering properties. Fresh state properties viz., flowing ability (Slump Flow), passing ability (J Ring), segregation resistance (V funnel at 5 min) are the check to determine the acceptability of SCC. But inorder prepare the SCC, it is necessary to add high range water reducers like superplasticizer. But all superplasticizers are not compatible with all the cement so it is necessary to check the compatibility of cement and superpalsticizer. Marsh cone flow time and mini slump spread test are required to perform to determine the saturation dosage and then to check the compatibility. Paste phase of the concrete determine the flow properties of concrete. But this flow behavior will change with respect to ingredients proportion and also with temperature. Rheological study using viscometer will give an idea about the change in rheological properties with temperature. High performance concrete lab is equipped with all these experimental setup to determine the above said properties of the mix.

Amrita Live-in-Labs® is a multidisciplinary experiential learning program that facilitates the research, development, and deployment of sustainable solutions for current challenges faced by rural communities in India. The program is designed to engage participants in a mutual learning and sharing experience by breaking classroom and laboratory barriers to implement theoretical knowledge to address real world problems. The program allows participants to study, observe, and interact with rural populations while living in rural communities to gain a better understanding of challenges in the areas of Health & Livelihood, Education & Technology, Environment & Farming, Energy, and Infrastructure & Basic Facilities.

In Civil Engineering Department, the interested students will get an opportunity to work in any of the villages and solve the technical problems in areas like water and waste management, construction techniques, energy and environment etc. by applying the engineering knowledge they have acquired through their study. The students can identify the problem at the end of second year and start working on it. The evaluation will be in fifth semester and a satisfactory performance earns a 3 credits. Students earning this 3 credits have the option to drop one of the electives in semester VII.

Miniature Building Model

In today’s scenario, the construction of a real building is much easier than getting approval for the construction and designing as per the standards. Even if all the things come together at the right time, the on-site construction process needs so of care from scheduling to maintenance of the labours. So a Civil Engineer should have a holistic understanding of the civil subject to life skills like Time management.

So with the help of department faculty, a club is formed under ACSE student chapter (incipient) for B.Tech students, where they will be doing the design as per IS standards and construct a miniature building model. In order to ensure the systematic working of the club, Progress of the club will be monitored and students will be guided by the faculty advisor of the club.

Student Members

Totally 37 students have enrolled in this club (27 from 3rd year and 10 from 2nd year civil department). This 37 members have been grouped into 5 teams, each team consists of 7 to 8 members. Every week, each team will be given a task or work schedule and deadline for the completion of the work.

ALUMNI SPEAKS

"My experience in Amrita was both valuable and exciting. One could never miss the scenic beauty of the campus (Ettimadai campus) and the weather of Coimbatore. The serine environment that I have experienced in the vast campus and its facilities is uncommon. I joined the college, like many others, with a fear of survival mainly because of two reasons. One being the kind of my school education which didn’t encourage much of understanding the concepts and the other reason being the department (Civil) which is pretty new and not having a history attached. Having said that, Amrita proved me wrong in my fears. I transformed into a totally different person after passing out of Amrita. This couldn't have happened without the well-informed, cooperative and resourceful faculty; good lab facilities that we had access to; unique opportunities for extracurricular activities like Gokulashtami, Anokha etc.,; I enjoyed the journey and I am always grateful to Amrita for changing my life!" »»

Amrita has played a pivotal role to mould the "engineer" in me. Freedom to experiment with the available technology and to work on out of the box projects encouraged me to believe in taking the road less travelled. The values I learnt these four years are something I would take for a lifetime.

Abilash B. | B.Tech. 2012-16 | Partner-Sree Karmik, Chennai

2012-2016 - 4 years of engineering, a time that I will cherish throughout my life. The experience at Amrita was so fulfilling and rich, thanks to all the faculty and friends. The first thing that comes to any of our minds about the college are the beautiful lush green surroundings and the majestic mountains all around the place. These were so beautiful especially when looked from our classes. The faculty helped us throughout our journey guiding us through the best possible path, and I wouldn't be exaggerating if I told that majority of my success today is solely because of my mentors there. They helped me to build the perfect platform to grow. The place also gave me the best of friends and memories.

Amrita ,a home away from home .A place filled with infinite opportunities and learning experiences, where "brothers and sisters" - students and "parents"- teachers added flavors to 4 years of my college life . The teacher-student relationship was more like friendship, guiding us not only in career growth but self development as well. Thanking all my teachers , mentors ,guides and friends who helped through my success journey in life . Special thanks to Civil department staff for moulding me into a hard working engineer i am today

Azhar Aziz M. B. | B.Tech. 2013-17 | Associate Project Manager - Ansaldo STS

It all started and ended the same way. Six years ago, I entered Amrita fulfilling my parent's dream. But I was not happy about it because I didn't want to leave home. The whole journey from home to Amrita, I cried, for my own small world is not going to be the same. But Amrita had other plans for me. It gave me people who cared for me as if I was family. It taught me to dream and gave me opportunities to achieve them. The pleasant view of campus and disciplined rules of the campus gave me a good environment to achieve bigger goals. Amrita, you should not only be proud of yourself for taking in the best intellectual minds of the country but for also making them better human beings. Today, I m working as a software developer in (I-exceed technology solutions) Bangalore, which is just because of the knowledge given by my faculties and my department. The naive small-town girl is now an independent, matured and a confident woman. Insti, how can I thank you enough for giving me these wonderful people in my life. I will be forever grateful for the feeling you gave my parents on convocation. I bid adieu to you temporarily but you were and will always be my home and I will come running to you even if I get the slightest chance. »»
