The two-day event, marked by enthusiasm and competitive spirit, has set a new benchmark for engineering competitions at the department. Each participating team brought unique approaches to challenges, particularly in structural design, where emphasis was placed on load-bearing capacity and deflection management. This multi-faceted engineering competition proved to be more than just a contest - it was a platform for future engineers to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges, making it one of the most engaging events of the year.
CIVIL TUSSLE 2024: Engineering Innovation in Action
The prestigious CIVIL TUSSLE event, successfully organized by CLUB TRIVIM at the Civil Engineering Department on February 22-23, 2024, showcased emerging engineering talent through multiple challenging stages. With a prize pool of ₹10,000, the event attracted top student innovators.
The cornerstone event - the Popsicle Stick Structure Challenge - saw remarkable engineering prowess among eight competing teams. Team TRIPOD emerged as the standout performer, with their structure withstanding an impressive 44kg load while maintaining minimal deflection of just 4mm. Teams GAMMA and HARSHIT also demonstrated exceptional engineering, with their structures holding strong until the 40kg mark Beyond structural challenges, participants navigated through engaging segments including Traffic Maze, Quizzy Buzzy, and Keep the Cup Up. A highlight was the tactical toll station challenge, which received widespread acclaim for its practical approach to real-world engineering problems Students demonstrated exceptional problem-solving abilities as they tackled complex riddles and engineering challenges, showcasing not only technical expertise but also creative thinking. The event successfully achieved its core objectives of promoting hands-on engineering experience, fostering teamwork, and encouraging innovative solutions.
