Esteemedmembers,

We are happy to announce that this month three Students’ Chapters havebeen formed ones each for Mechanical, Computer & Civil Engineeringbranches at V.V.P. Engineering College, Rajkot; Saffrony Institute ofTechnology, Mehsana & Vishwakarma College of Engineering, Chandkhedarespectively. Our team is working very hard to get more such chapters openedso that more and more students get the IEI benefit. Our members serving atfaculty at engineering colleges & polytechnics are requested to take the lead.

We have also opened a State level Technicians’ Chapter at Ahmedabd. All theTechnician and Senior Technician members automatically become members ofthis Chapter. The Chapter shall commence its activities from Septemberonwards.

We request you to please volunteer to get more engineers enrolled with TheInstitution of Engineers (India). If you are a faculty member, please prepareyour co-professors/ lecturers to join. Let us bring more and more engineers toour fraternity. We have prepared for circulation a small booklet explaining allabout membership, its advantages etc.

Last month saw GSC hosting two big events back to back within a span of aweek. First it was All India seminar on Polymer processing followed by 31st

National Convention of Civil Engineers, however post Reservation rally we hadto postpone the later to 20-21 September. The All India Seminar wentsmoothly with huge presence of members, students and academicians as wellas practicing engineers.

EVENTS OF AUGUST 2015

All India Seminar on Polymer Processing, Reclamation and itsEnd-of-Life Impact on Environment

All India Seminar on Polymer Processing,reclamation and its end-of-life impacton environment organized by TheInstitution of Engineers (India), GujaratState Center Under the aegis ofChemical Engineering Division Boardwas inaugurated by Dr. S.K.Nanda, CMD,Gujarat State Fertilizer Corporation on21st August 2015. Er.N.B.Vasoya, CouncilMember, Dr. S.A.Puranik ; Dr. A.P.VyasPrincipal, Saffrony Institute ofTechnology; Er. S.J.Desai, Chairman,Gujarat State Center and Er. C. V.Nadpara, Hon Secretary; Gujarat StateCenter graced the inaugural function.Dr. Nanda whose Company GSFC is

also having a polymer Division, whiledelivering his address as Chief gueststated that looking to the properties of

polymer as a material itself it is verymuch essential for the polymertechnocrats to think afresh from theroot. Hence, polymer processing andpossible maximum reclamation is anissue to be raised among theresearchers. He stressed theimportance of four “R”s: viz. Reduce,Recycle, Reuse & Reclaim. He talkabout crucification as an alternative.Learning from the history, it is alsoessential to think about theeco-friendly polymer processing,product and reclamation process. Thisseminar is focusing on this burningissue and provides a platform to theresearchers working in this area toshowcase their work among theintellectuals of similar area.


He unveiled the Souvenir published inthe form of a CD. Prof R.N.Shukla, whoretired after putting in 37 years ofservice was felicitated by the ChiefGuest.In his address Er. S. J. Desai welcomedthe Chief Guest Dr. S.K. Nanda anddistinguished delegates to the All IndiaSeminar. He described variousactivities undertaken by The Institutionof Engineers (India), Gujarat StateCenter and stated that this was 5th

Seminar in last 5 months. Looking tothe presence of large number ofstudents delegates & faculty members,he urged them to open Students’Chapters at their colleges andexplained the benefits.Er. Navin Vasoya gave the briefbackground about the group ofactivities undertaken by IE(I) in generaland the status of activities carried outby Chemical Engineering Division inGujarat in particular. He explainedvarious levels of memberships availableand their benefits. He urged thedelegates to join IEI as member byfilling up the form from the InformationDesk set up outside the Hall.Dr S.A. Puranik gave a brief outline of

the programme and the structure ofthe seminar session-wise. He informedthat there would be three technicalsessions covering following subthemes ;-1. Polymer processing techniques2. Advanced techniques for polymer

reclamation3. Eco-friendly polymer production4. Enhancement in the properties

and characteristics of polymers5. Alternatives to the polymers6. End of pipe treatment to the

sustainable developmentapproach in polymer industry

7. Environmental issues associatedwith polymer industry

8. Global trend in the polymerindustry

Dr L V Muralikrishna Reddy, President,The Institution of Engineers (India) wasfelicitated byGujarat State Center on 22nd

Jan 2015. Dr Reddy while thanking for thegesture, outlined his vision of growth forthe Institution. He stated that the WorldEconomic Forum’s GlobalCompetitiveness Index notes that India isin the top tier with respect to availabilityof engineers and scientists. While theworld recognises and honors individualcontributions of Indian engineers to thedevelopment of the economy andinclusive growth, “Indian Engineering”

has not got the recognition it deserves.The need of the hour is to transform theway Indian engineers are looked at. Hebelieved that IEI is the right platform toaddress this and it would be his endeavorto transform the way Indian Engineeringis looked at and help it get the reognitionit deserves. In that context, he outlinedfollowing measures to herald themakeover of Indian engineering throughIEI:(1) To build a healthy synergy betweenthe Governments and the IEI across thelife cycle encompassing program

Seminar on Surge Control in pipeline system for conveyance ofwater

Pipelines for conveyance of drinkingwater supply as well as for irrigationhave to lift water to greater heightsresulting in surge formation due towater hammer. This damages thewhole system and in the longer runaffects the functioning of the systemadversely.Therefore surge control is avery important aspect which needs tobe taken into consideration.Prof Srinivasa LingiReddy of KentukiUniversity, USA made a thoughtprovoking presentation on this subjecton 22nd January 2015 at Gujarat StateCenter which was attended byengineers and consultants engaged inthe business of designing and laying of

pipeline system and large number ofengineering college students who tooklive interest.


The Beautiful Beast: Evidence based Life extension ofcentury-old Pamban Bridge

A presentation on life extension ofworld renown century-old railwaybridge at Pumban, near Rameswaram,Tamilnadu was done by Dr. KunalKansara on 30th January 2015 at Gujaratstate Center. Dr. Kansara is a memberof IEI currently based in UK.Pumban bridge connectingRameswaram to the Indian mainland isa heritage structure that completed 100years in the year 2014. During its lifespan it suffered sever damage due todevastating cyclone in 1964. The bridgewas restored by Er. E. Sreedharan, FIEwho is now well known for hismeticulous execution of KonkanRailway and Delhi Metro projects. Of

the 146 spans in the bridge, 124 hadbeen damaged or washed away. Metregauge girders were needed urgentlywhich were sourced from Assam andRajasthan, & the rest which were lying40 feet below, on the seabed werebrought by fishermen. Engineersworked at breakneck speed tocomplete the restoration. It used totake three days to launch one girder.Soon they were launching a girder aday. On the last two days, theylaunched eight girders.And the resultswere there for all to see. The projectwas estimated to be completed in sixmonths, got accomplished it in 46 days.

Be the voice of female engineers

A number of barriers exist to the progression of larger numbers of women in engineering,and these can be represented by the analogy of hurdles in a running race. These exist atevery career stage.

We at IEI need to work hard to lower these hurdles, but they will only disappearaltogether when we get sufficient numbers of 'runners' in the race to knock them down.This is why the work that is done in the early career stages is very important. We cannotaddress all of these barriers to progression, but we have tried to identify a number ofways that can make a difference.

Tomotivate girls to consider careers in engineering To organize annual two day student conference called Engineering Inspiration To promote engineering role models To discuss difficulties being faced at workplace and possible solutions To upgrade knowledge continuously through seminars/ workshops/ talks etc To scout opportunities in private sector To arrange for personality development lectures

Some Facts About Communication

Communication only happens if you get in touch with people and remainin contact with them. Social distance, as cultivated by some managers, iscounterproductive. Live and work among people as their leader, nottheir remote boss. He or she who communicates, leads.

Don’t confine communication behind organizational fences.Communication with customers or prospective customers, suppliers andsupporters and the public at large, is vital for the health of your business.Have you ever as a customer been on the wrong end of badcommunication? Then you know how much it matters.

You will not get far in most careers-- even ones you create and manageyourself -- without being called upon or speak in public or make apresentation. Nerves are natural, and you can learn how to control them.The content of what you say is obviously important but how you say it -your presentation skills-- can be almost equally important, especially insome contexts.

The first step towards becoming a manager of communication-- one whohelps others to communicate effectively with each other to somecommon end -- is usually when you are given the role of discussion leaderor chairman. Only one in ten managers, some research indicates, is anexcellent chairman of meetings. Are you in that happy minority amongyour peers?

Organizations have a nervous system of communication which carriesinformation, ideas and inspiration in varying degrees of effectiveness. Itis vital to establish good system of communication and train all yourleader-managers-- key terminals in the system -- in communication skills.

Giving and receiving constructive praise and criticism is never going to beeasy, given the realities of human nature. But you will never be aneffective leader until you can do it.

(Excerpts from “Effective Communication” by John Adair)
