WCE - AAKAR (Drishty 2025)
Event Overview
3 Days • Walchand College Of Engineering, Sangli, India • October 3-5, 2025
WCE — AAKAR: Drishti 2025 is a two‑day national student symposium hosted by the Civil Engineering Students Association at Walchand College of Engineering (WCE), Sangli. The event brings together undergraduate and postgraduate students, faculty and industry practitioners for hands‑on workshops, design competitions, technical paper presentations, and inspiring talks focused on translating design vision into real‑world construction and sustainable solutions.
What is AAKAR?
AAKAR Drishti 2025 is designed to bridge classroom learning and practical engineering practice. Through software workshops (BIM/Revit, ETABS), design challenges, and expert talks on sustainable materials and construction management, Drishti equips participants with applied skills and exposes them to contemporary tools and methodologies used in the civil engineering industry. The symposium also fosters teamwork, innovation and campus‑industry networking.
Key Figures :
- Expected participants: 2000 students (UG + PG)
- Colleges represented: 30 engineering & architecture colleges (regional / state level)
- Workshops: 6 hands-on workshops (BIM/Revit, ETABS/SAFE, Sustainable Materials, Practical Lab)
- Speakers & trainers: 20 faculty + industry experts
- Competition categories: 10 (Design Challenge, Project Expo, Paper Presentation, Model Making)
- Teams in design challenges: 40 teams
- Certificates issued: Participation certificates to all registrants; winner certificates & special awards for each category
Learning Highlights :
- BIM / Revit fundamentals: coordinate architectural & structural models, basic family usage, and clash-awareness workflows.
- Structural modelling & analysis: create simple models in ETABS/SAFE, run basic load cases, and interpret analysis output for design decisions.
- Sustainable construction practices: low-carbon material choices, lifecycle thinking, and practical strategies for cost-effective sustainability.
- Design thinking under constraints: rapid conceptual design, trade-off evaluation (cost, material, constructability) and client-centric problem solving.
- Model-making & prototyping skills: scale modelling techniques, material selection for strength vs. cost, and presentation-ready model preparation.
- Technical communication: how to prepare a concise project poster, deliver a 15-minute technical talk, and handle Q&A confidently.
- Teamwork & project management: role allocation, timeboxing a design problem, and delivering a coordinated submission under event deadlines.
- Career & networking outcomes: direct interaction with faculty and practitioners, exposure to internship/placement opportunities, and actionable next steps to upskill.
