Dear Students, Alumni, Parents, Guardians,

Faculty, Staff and Promoter Friends and other

Friends and Well-wishers of Asian Institute of

Technology and Management,

At the very outset, I would like to wish all of you

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018! Let us hope and pray

that the New Year will bring PEACE, PROGRESS

AND PROSPERITY to the nation and to all our

compatriots. May you all be blessed with good

health, long life and plenty of happiness in the

coming year and in subsequent years.

The country has been in transition for too long.

Hopefully, with the successful conclusion of the

three phases of local elections and two phases

of parliamentary elections, the country will

enter a more stable period with everybody

focused on development and economic

prosperity. The people of the country have

clearly voted for long term political stability. The

political parties should read the writing on the

wall and work for the nation and national

interests as a matter of national priority rather

than for themselves, their relatives and friends

and their parties.

All of us, who are involved in the education

sector, are keenly looking forward to the

appointment of a visionary and proactive

education minister, with a global perspective,

who will initiate much needed reforms in the

education sector so that this country can be a

regional and international education hub and

the Nepalese graduates have the required

knowledge, skills and attitude as well as love for

the country to work in this country and to take

this country forward to achieve middle income

status by 2030 and developed country status

by 2050.

This is the 7th Quarterly Newsletter, which I am

happy to share with all of you. This Newsletter

covers the last three months from the beginning

of October till the end of December 2017. We

have been busy the last three months with the

planning and conducting the 2nd IMI

Graduation Ceremony for the graduates of

2015 and 2016 and in enrolling the students for

the IMI BHM course. We are happy to report

that we have enrolled 84 students, which is the

highest enrollment till date, in spite of very

heavy and stiff competition amongst the hotel

management schools in Kathmandu Valley. Our

target is to enroll 100 students this year.

We have also been very busy trying to get some

national programs to replace the programs

which we are phasing out. We are most hopeful

that we will get the approval to run some

national programs within the next few months.

We are also very hopeful to offer some

international programs in the coming academic

session. This year is going to be a very critical

year for AITM. We are very positive that we will

finally be able to add some interesting

programs and to expand our academic

activities from this year onwards.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank and wish

all the very best to all the promoter friends who

have been most patient and understanding

these last few years. I also take this opportunity

to thank all the students, past and present, their

parents/guardians, our many friends and well-

wishers, who have stood by us through thick

and thin.

In conclusion, I wish to offer all of you the

warmest New Year greetings.

As per the Purbanchal University (PU) course syllabus for B.E. Civil, the final (8th) semester students are required to carry out a six-credit group project work on different civil engineering themes/topics based on their interests. Each project group generally consists of five students and a project supervisor is assigned to the group.

The Civil Engineering Department has outlined some guidelines on the students’ project works. The project groups need to prepare project proposals on their selected topics/themes and carry out PowerPoint presentations in front of an examination committee comprising of the respective project supervisors and other three to four faculty members from the department. After the proposal defense, the project groups start their project work under the guidance of their supervisors. Once their work is completed, the project groups have to prepare draft project reports according to the given guidelines and submit to the department. Then, the department arranges the final project defense date for the group. In the final defense, an examination committee

AUTOCAD TRAINING FOR B.E. CIVIL FINAL YEAR STUDENTS

A 30-hour long “AutoCAD Training” was conducted for B.E. Civil 7th semester (Batch-2013) students. Daily two-hours of “AutoCAD” training classes were conducted for fifteen days from 6th to 25th October 2017. A total of thir ty students of the batch par ticipated in the training. The AutoCAD is a computer software tool used to prepare engineering drawings and the training was provided to the students to help them in their final semester project works and professional careers. After the completion of the training, the participants with 80% or more class attendance were awarded the certificates of participation.

comprising of the respective project supervisors, faculties from the department and an external examiner appointed by the university evaluates the project work. Finally the project groups should submit their hard-bound project reports to the department after incorporating the corrections/suggestions given by the examination committee.

A total of eleven project groups of 8th semester (Batch-2012) students were formed in this session, but one of the groups did not participate in the final defense/examination. After the 2015 earthquakes in Nepal, most of the civil engineering students in AITM overwhelmingly opted for structural analysis and design of buildings for their final semester project works. This year too, ten of the eleven groups carried out their project works on structural design while the remaining one group did its project work on district level earthen road design. This year’s final project defense began on 3rd November 2017 and was completed at the end of the month.

A 30-hour long basic training of Structural Analysis Program (SAP) was conducted for B.E. Civil 8th semester (Batch-2013) students. Daily two-hours training classes were conducted for fifteen days from 13th to 28th December 2017. A total of thirty students of the batch participated in the training program. After the mega earthquakes of 2015 in Nepal, almost all the Bachelor in Civil Engineering students are attracted to carry out their final semester 6-credit group project work on structural analysis and design of different types of buildings. The SAP-2000 is a design tool which assists the students in their project work. After conclusion of the training, the participants with 80% or more class attendance were awarded the certificates of participation.

NEWS & EVENTS

Six B.E. Civil 7th semester (Batch-2014) students have begun a student’s research project on “Soil-cement

Stabilized Interlocking Brick” from 8th October 2017 under the guidance of Er. Prakash Dulal (full-time faculty

of Civil Engineering Department at AITM) with necessary support from the department and college.

Compressed Stabilized Earth Block (CSEB) machines, designed & provided by Asian Institute of Technology

(AIT), Bangkok, are being used to prepare soil-cement stabilized bricks. Unlike the traditional bricks, the CSEB

need not to be burnt for strength. Due to this uniqueness, these bricks/blocks can be easily produced and

used primarily in building constructions even in remote areas of Nepal without using fire woods or other types

of fuels to burn them. The research output could be a milestone for reconstruction work in the aftermath of

2015 mega earthquake in Nepal.

The primary objective of this research is to find out optimum ratios of the four major constituents of CSEB

(soil, cement, water and typical clays available in Kathmandu valley and nearby areas) for maximum

compressive strength of the blocks.

As required by the Civil Engineering Department, the B.E. Civil 8th semester (Batch-2013) students are now preparing proposals for their final semester six-credit project work. Five project groups of 2013-Batch students and one group of 2011-Batch students (who did not participate in their regular project work along with their batch-mates) have been formed for this academic session, and one project supervisor is assigned to each project group.

Proposal defense is the first step in the final semester project work of the students. A project group normally consists of five students. The project group has to prepare a group proposal (seven to ten pages) on their chosen project theme according to the given guidelines in consultation with their supervisor and submit hard copy of the proposal to the department. In addition, they have to prepare PowerPoint presentation slides and present their proposals in front of an examination committee consisting of the project supervisor and two/three senior faculties from the department. The project group can begin their project work once the proposal defense is completed.
