Be it building bridges across rivers or building bridges for Large scale computer networks, CEGians have always exhibited a panache for work that is critical to engineers today. Over 50 courses in myriad departments with enrolment from far flung corners of the country ensure diversity in student population. Research and development projects around the world are spearheaded by students from this esteemed institution. CEGians are preferred employees for corporations in India and abroad. The alumni network of this college extends far beyond the Indian subcontinent and CEGians are at the helm of many of the world's top corporations.
From the establishment of the first campus radio station (Anna FM-90.4) in February 2004 to embarking on the ANUSAT project with ISRO, College of Engineering, Guindy has proved to be more than just a national leader in educating engineers for the 21st century. It’s a community that is dedicated to creating tomorrow's leaders and supporting today's pioneers. It’s a community that worships Technology and Science and fosters it as a culture in every individual who passes through its portals.
It started like this. We wanted to create a synthesis of engineering techniques, skills and thought processes.While engineers think differently from doctors and scholars, what is more important is that engineers think differently from each other as well. We decided to create a stage... nay...a battlefield for the exponents of various engineering techniques to showcase their skill, their stamina, their drive to win for what can be better for the engineering community as a whole but a test of strength, a test of character, a test of will. The name Kurukshetra practically chose itself for the event.
Like any proper war there will be a lot of smaller battles. These battles are going to take place in the areas of MODELLING, DESIGN, MECHANICS, PRESENTATIONS, SOFTWARE, QUIZZES and MANAGEMENT. The mother of all battles is going to be in ROBOTICS of course. There are not only the events where you are expected to get down and dirty, sweat and make things work;but also events where you are expected to be suave and poised and cool and calm. Kurukshetra tests not only your qualifications as an engineer it also tests your resolve to be one and your qualifications to be a representative of the engineering community to the rest of the world.
Kurukshetra is being organized this year, from the 22nd to the 25th of January, 2008 at the hallowed grounds of CEG, Anna University, which is Asia’s largest Technical University.
With quests, ranging from "OPC" to "Robotics", from "Business Plan" to "MATLAB contests”, and with a plethora of quizzes, puzzles and coding events to add spice, KURUKSHETRA 08 promises to be a true Multi-Disciplinary concoction.
The winner will be the one, who not just thinks, but enjoys, as well!
Modelling opens you to a world of creativity - the chance to do a Cindrella act if you will (You ofcourse would be the Fairy
Godmother!!). Take the junk given to you and fashion something useful from it and u have got it made in modelling. You think that
is too easy?? fine then come up with your own product and bring it to real life.
Design will test your knowledge of curves and lines. You think your a Ford in the making then head over to Kurukshetra and we will
see if you measure up. You have a new design for a water powered rocket or do you swear by CAD when it comes to designing? If the
answer to that is yes then you know where to be from Jan 22nd - 25th.
Software is making it big in the world out there - Fact. Well our online programming contest is
guaranteed to grip you and haunt you. Try it!! Or if a little B&E is what you have in mind then try our hacking challenge and
show the security experts who you are!!
Are Robots your cup of tea? DO you have a BOT that is versatile, that can wrestle, that can race, that can find its way through a
maze?? or Would u like to make one?? Then head over to CEG from 22nd to 25th of Jan next year.
You think you know more about the words Bull and Bear than zoologists!! Have you been tempted to play the market but have not had
the capital?? Well Dalal Street is for you then. Try our stock market simulaton event and you will
swear by it for sure. If you think you have the panache, the suaveness, the skill to market your products to anyone in this world,
here is your chance to do so. Sell your plans and products to our judges and walk away with pockets overflowing!
Hmmm... No symposium is complete without Workshops and Guest lectures and Kurukshtra is no different.
Dont miss your chance to interact with top professionals and veterans from various branches of engineering and management. Listen to
the GURUS tell you what to do. Glean all you can from them for they are sure to make you a better
engineer more than anything else.
All work and no play makes a Jack a hebetudinous boy. We wouldnt want that now would we?!! So to spice up life we have the
TREASURE HUNT. We also have ALCATRAZ (try breaking out from the
hell-hole that we push you into with your brains and raw knowledge that you possess as your only tools of redemption).Get back to the
basics and have some fun. Try our gaming section if the processor up there gets heated up.
Well people, all we have left to say to you is "FALL TO THE MATTRESSES".
The rules of engagement are: no holds barred, winner takes all.
Let the Battle Begin!!!!
