  1. Activities & Initiatives

  • Ongoing Projects: MOLA Competition

Mola Competition is a one-of-a-kind annual event where civil engineering students meet and learn to push their creative boundaries and show the true wonders of structural engineering.

  • Signature Events: SDC Competition

Seismic Design Competition is an annual international competition in the United States and held by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute. Students from all around the world compete for the best structural and architectural design for high rise buildings that are designed to be anti-earthquake while maintaining cost and aesthetics. The structural model is built using Balsa wood and then its tested by the shaking table. 31/3/2025
