Talk on Personality development


The students of B Tech 2nd year Food technology had a class on personality development and excellence by Mr. Ganga Mohan P.N., corporate trainer and executive coach at Coach Point. Session on 28/12/2018 was very interactive and motivating. Mode of training was through videos and life stories. The session was really informative to the students, helpful in improving their attitude and aptitude skills


Guest Talk on “Spice Oleoresins"

Dr. Mathew Attokaran, (former Director, Regional Research Laboratory (NIIST), Trivandrum, India) has taken a session for B.Tech Food Technology students (4th semester) on 19/2/19 on ‘Spice Oleoresins’. The session conducted as a part of their course Processing of Spices and Plantation Crops (FST1407).

3 days workshop on MIKE tool box

The work shop aimed to develop knowledge about wave hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics and 2D model. The work shop details about the need to simulate physical chemical or biological processes in coastal or marine areas. Mike 21 is proven technology and more than 25 years track record of successful applications. The workshop focused on application of mike 21. Resource person Dr.Noujas V, project scientist C (NCCR) Chennai has explained the coastal processes, basics of numerical modeling and introduction to mike modules.Prof (Dr) K.V Thomas gave a session on the coastal field and real time considerations to be included in numerical modeling


Training on Oceanographic instrumentation at SNOM of Navy visited Coastal Engg. Lab of KUFOS


India Navy staff who were undergoing training on Oceanographic instrumentation at SNOM of Navy, Kochi, Willingdon island visited Coastal Engg. Lab of KUFOS to undergo training in indigenously developed ocean technological instruments, as part of their visits to other important oceanographic institutes. They operated different oceanographic instruments kept in live and operational conditions in the lab., and particularly “Portable MEDAS” ( Marine Environmental Data Acquisition System ) which is capable of acquiring 15 different and important oceanographic parameters simultaneously during one single operation, making the coastal and harbor engg.

M Tech Coastal & harbour Engineering 2018 batch attended a short term course on “Coastal Engg & Modeling for Site Engineers” on Nov 14-16th 2018


The studies undertaken in this workshop includes Introduction to Coastal Engineering, Tidal and Wave Hydrodynamics, Coastal Processes, Coastal Sedimentation, Physical and Mathematical modeling techniques Shoreline evolution, field data collection and analysis, Coastal erosion and protection
