i)Ice breaking Activity
1.What did you do in the activity?
Basically, we were given a box containing 15 picture cards some of them were repeated and our task in the project was to replace the repeated cards with the new ones.
2.Did the activity help you?
Definately, It helped me to know my other classmates as a team and also by the activity reflected on how we are supposed to interact with others based upon our need.
3.Any challenges you faced?
Initially, there was awkwardness speaking with others but as we all came up with the task with a purpose we eventually spoke with one-another.
4.Share your reflections here.
The major reflection that I gained from the activity is to interact with one-another, we even though for a few minutes were able to understand each others needs and we acted accordingly also the communication between us gave a brief knowledge about how to work in the corporate
ii)Banglore Sewage Problem
1.What is your understanding of the sewage problem in Banglore?
The Banglore lake sewage problem highlights the critical failure of the urban waste management systems,where untreated sewage has led to severe water pollution and ecosystem damage.
2.What are the root causes of this problem?
They include inadequate sewage infrastructure, rapid urbanization and poor enforcement of the waste management regulations.
3.What are the possible solutions for this?
Upgrading sewage treatment plants to handle increased waste loads and ensure proper filtration
Implementing decentralised wastewater treatement systems in local communities to reduce strain on central infrastucture.
Using natural solutions like constructed wetlands to filter and treat polluted water before it enters the lakes
iii)Engineering design need identification activity
a)Describe the problem.
1. Poor Drainage System – Blocked or slow-moving water, leading to hygiene concerns.
2. Unhygienic Environment – Accumulated waste, vegetation, and possible contamination.
3. Structural Issues – Drain walls appear eroded, increasing the risk of collapse.
4. Lack of Proper Covering – Open drains pose safety risks for pedestrians and animals.
b)Mention which all disciplines are involved.
Civil Engineering- Ensures proper water flow by improving the structure.
Environmental Engineering- Implements eco-friendly drainage solutions to maintain hygiene.
Structural Engineering- Designs durable drain covers for safety and long-term stability.
Mechanical Engineering-Develops machines for automated drain cleaning and debris removal.
