3D ENGINEER LOGO THAT COMES TO LIFE !

Painting 2D images may seem still easy , but what about painting a 3D Engineer logo - with precision, that too on a road ?

The 3D logo of the fest 'Engineer' in front of the Civil Department was painted by none other than the “ Artists' Forum “ of NITK , whose creativity can be very well observed by their “AF” symbol , which is by itself an ambigram. The work was carried out mostly early in the morning and the evenings when the traffic was less.The Artists' Forum members worked in shifts with an average of 9 people per shift. It took around 30 people and a duration of three and a half days to make this painting a success. Accuracy of the painting is such that the logo springs to life when viewed from the 'View point'. Designed with such a bright selection of colors, it serves the purpose of increasing the creative appeal of our tech fest for this year and also for years to come. This Engineer logo is yet another amazing piece of art contributed by the Artists' Forum just like the piece of art made in front of the all time favourite Food Court ( for 'Incident 2012' ). It sparks the excitement amongst everyone as it marks the approach of yet another awaited technical fest – ENGINEER 2013 !

THE COUNT DOWN HAS BEGUN!!

The big clock, ticking down every minute in the main building, NITK, till the much awaited ENGINEER'13 finally begins, is an INSPIRATION for all those tirelessly working towards the best Engineer ever. It is a PROMISE for all those looking forward to participate and all the newbie's in college who stayed back to witness the extravaganza. A CHALLENGE for all those hoping to think.create.engineer something that might change their future altogether.

Next time u enter the Main building, give a minute of your time to look at the LED screen. You can feel your pulse raising and excitement building.
Keep everything behind you to come and experience a whole new ENGINEER ! 
Hoping the wait is worth it all !!! THINK.CREATE.ENGINEER.

Engineer @ NITK Surathkal .. Excitement begins and Memories Flood Back !!

For those who are THINKING what to CREATE and ENGINEER at NITK , I would love to take you back across the sands of time ..

What everyone remembers from previous ENGINEER fests :

"I REGRET MISSING IT" this will be applicable to those who go Home or miss the AWESOME events !

What were some of these awesome events ?

When the darkness begins you enter the world of tech-lights (Technites) ..MEGAPIXELS -- LED arrays that get 'pixel-ified ' on a screen as big as an 8-floored building - you just enjoy the games that you get to play ! The "SKY LANTERN" -- that you see in your Tangled imagination comes to reality - air balloons that make the sky glow like Stars that fill the sky with illumination !   WORKSHOPS that make you say Wow Did "I" just make that !  TECHSPEAK gives you insights of what the world needs so that you can Innovate !  "GREEN DESIGN" - Innovate what the world needs in a way that the world says LET's Go Green !! "LAST WORD" - a place where you can be heard with the freedom of expressing your views on the current trends !   If you love research and want to put forward your work , this is the place you should be - "BLUEPRINT" !  MBA events give you MIND BENDing tasks to showcase your skills !  Construct the bridge of your dreams to prove your CIVILskills ! Go CHEMICAL or gain VELOCITY ! Words shall never suffice to keep track of where you will be and where you would want to be ! So  CODE the logic and just be ready to step into the world of excitement for four days ..

Whether you are the ones who put all this excitement together or the ones who experience  , Trust me when i Promise you this -- it will be WORTH IT !!!

You Never Forget Your First! 

The excitement's building as the cool new LED clock ticks down in front of the Main Building - Engineer's coming!
 As first years, we're feeling really special during the ongoing preparations for Engineer 2013. There are special workshops for us so that we can participate in Engineer events; special posters everywhere to tell us what's happening, where and when (usually about 5 things at the same time - we've never wanted to be in multiple places at once more than now!) ; special activities like lying on the road painting, building cool stuff; even special block timing extensions (being out past 7:30 PM - oh, the excitement!) Everything is amazingly special and the excitement is catching.

Can't wait to Think. Create. Engineer!

BIG BANG: ENGINEER.....is Coming!

Come October 24^thand the mundane roar of the salty waters surrounding Surathkal shall be dashed with a new tonnage of energy. Well, for those of you whose cerebral cells are conjuring some kind of celestial phenomenon that could explain the energy levels of the country’s west coast, it’s time to do a rethink! This yet-to-unleash, new found energy shall be sourced by an earthly solstice (if one may say so) that is scheduled to happen over 5 exciting days within the portals of an important landmark that dots the Arabian shore of our mighty nation.

No breakthrough’s yet?!  Time to end the suspense and the metaphorical jargon I suppose. The mega-event that the cryptic paragraph above refers to is – ‘ENGINEER’13’ (Oct 24^th–Oct 27^th 2013) – by far the biggest and brightest version of the annual technical symposium of NITK Surathkal.

So, what’s in store this time around? Come... Let’s explore!

A plethora of competitions from a multitude of engineering disciplines form the core of Engineer. From designing, modeling and testing structures in ’Colossus’ (Civil Event) to making underwater bots in ‘Proteus’ (Mechanical Event) and combining the elements of electronic circuit with a keen sense of aestheticism to design a sound and light controller for ‘Symphony’ (Tronix Event) to designing efficient algorithms for ‘Inscription’ (Computer Event that has witnessed the likes of teams from Stanford, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc.) … Engineer has it all. Robotics Events and Online Events have found large number of takers over the years.

These were a select few events from a myriad of exhilarating events, information about which can be accessed on our swanky new website www.engineer.org.in.

“Huh... That’s too much of tech…”  Well, hold on, for Engineer is pretty diverse. The ‘Biz Events’ (E-Pitch, Ad-Venture, Mock-Stock) have been custom-made to suit the prospective number-chasers on BSE, NSE, NYSE, etc. The ‘MBA Events’ (Operasi, Finanza, Personeel among others) could be a good pick for the management-gurus of tomorrow.

“Is that all?” Definitely not. Engineer comprises of action-packed days and fun-filled nights.

While various events dot the day, there are ‘Workshops’ and ‘Tech Speaks’ that shall happen alongside them as well. As the day draws to a close and the night sets in, the beauty of Engineer is brought to life by ‘Technites’, which helps participants rejuvenate themselves after the grueling sessions of the day. Professional Laser show, Real Life Gaming developed in-house, Star-gazing sessions (Astro Event) are to name a few. Summing it up, ‘Technites’ is a fine blend of Engineering and Entertainment.

Team Engineer’s endeavor to transcend its own limits has led to the genesis of ‘Chronus’. Featuring in the docket of ‘Chronus’ are Stop-motion photography, “Feeding the Fish” Pexel-Poi-technical juggling etc., which we can proudly proclaim are a first in our nation. Wondering what they actually are? Well, it’d be a sin to reveal too much, for it shall certainly sound good when told but is best when experienced. So… Do spare your dates for the same!

Just in case you are under the illusion that we at NITK are high-on-tech but socially-disenchanted brats, I’d say you are gravely wrong. One of the unique and most acclaimed parts of Engineer is ‘Socially Conscious Engineering’ that includes India Innovates (frugal innovations), Last Word (panel discussions), etc.

Having gone through this list of enchanting new event names, it is all but natural for our grey matter to start figuring out what they mean? Well… a quick sneak-peak into our website and the cells of your grey matter will be a happier and intrigued lot.

Before signing off, I’d like to quote an anonymous intellectual who happened to sum up the spirit of Engineer in a brilliant way

“The essence of being an Engineer does not lie in the ability to fill the gaps in existing technology; it lies instead in the art of original thinking, in creating new avenues as yet unexplored. It is this spark of inspiration that converts an idea, through the aid of science to a plan on paper and later to working reality. In tribute to this all important aspect of engineering we celebrate ENGINEER, the technical symposium of NITK Surathkal.”

THINK. CREATE. ENGINEER.
