==Alagappa College of Technology== |
|||
Popularly known as A.C. Tech., [[Alagappa College of Technology]], one of the constituent colleges of [[Anna University]], [[Chennai]] was established 4 September 1978 and was funded by [[Alagappa Chettiar]] as a centre for technological excellence. It is located along side [[Central Leather Research Institute]] (CLRI), [[Indian Institute of Technology Madras]] (IIT-M). It offers nine UG, PG, Ph.D. courses on [[Chemical Engineering]], [[Petroleum Refining]] and [[Petrochemicals]], Industrial [[Biotechnology]], [[Ceramic]] Technology, [[Textile]] Technology, [[Apparel]] Technology, [[Food]] Technology, Pharmaceutical Technology and [[Leather]] Technology. |
|||
==Department of Chemical Engineering== |
|||
The Department of Chemical Engineering at A.C. Tech., is ranked as the sixth best among the Chemical Engineering Schools in India by a survey done by Jude Sommerfeld of [[Georgia Institute of Technology]]. |
|||

==Events== |
|||
provides a platform for students to display their technological prowess through its wide array of events. The various categories of events are: |
|||
===Paper presentation=== |
|||
The contest enables students to make a presentation based on the readings and independent [[research]] on any topic related to [[Chemical Engineering]] and allied streams and the same will be judged by an elite panel of judges. |
|||
===Tattoo=== |
|||
This event is based on the fact that Effective brand names build a connection between the [[brand]] personality as perceived by the [[target audience]] and the actual product/service. all it takes to the participant is to choose the right brand name for a particular product and justify its identity. |
|||
===In Situ Innovation=== |
|||
On the spot designing of a model that brings out the best from the participants and make them learn beyond the text books in a very competitive way. |
|||
===Technical quiz=== |
|||
Technical quiz is an enterprising event where one can test their knowledge and intelligence on various subjects of Chemical Engineering as well as learn new things through fun. |
|||
===What went wrong=== |
|||
Tt is yet another mystery centered event where the participants are required to state the causes of a particular accident and give suggestions to prevent such ones from recurring again. It helps the participants to learn more on [[Emergency Management]] |
|||
===Poster presentation=== |
|||
Poster presentation is a visual presentation of one’s topic of interest which aims at generating active discussion of the research.<ref name="Svce">{{cite web|url= http://www.svce.ac.in/departments/chemicalengg/depnews.php|title=SVCE | Department of Chemical Engineering}}</ref>) |
|||
===Industry Defined Problem=== |
|||
This is a platform to come up with innovative and effective solutions for problems encountered in Chemical industries. Specified the problem and minimum required solution, the participants are required to arrive at an optimum solution. |
|||
===Math Modeling=== |
|||
To translate complex physical systems to mathematical equations is the objective of this event. |
|||
===Working Model=== |
|||
A prototype is from where all great designs start. Working model involves designing prototypes of commercially used industrial equipments in an efficient way to study the actual systems.<ref name="Svce" />) |
|||
===Chemtrepreneur=== |
|||
This techno-management event is a challenge to one’s technical and entrepreneur skills. The technical areas are restricted to Chemical Engineering and allied fields. |
|||
===Flowsheeting=== |
|||
The first layout for any chemical process is its flowsheet and this event is all about designing the first layout of a chemical process, keeping in mind the cost optimization, using standard flowsheeting tools. |
|||
===Simulation=== |
|||
Simulating the real world phenomena and mathematical models utilizing computational tools and methods to the best is the event [[Simulation]]. |
