‘Shastrayaan'  -  E vent witnessed clerisy of budding naval architects hand crafted innovations that would revolutionise future maritime industry. Dept. proved its sumptuous history of contributions towards society to be continued through its upcoming ideas and ongoing research. Working Model            A mong a multitude of display items, Dept. of Ship Technology show cased a ‘go-green’, economic and easy made boat that got media attention across city. The boat was entirely made buoyant using a heap of plastic bottles that lay as a burden to environment.  The boat, just made out of plywood and plastic bottles costs around RS 1500 –made it highly unique from the market ideas displayed in the event which required huge capital investments. Still Models and illustrations             Dept. also show cased ship models made by students in the model making lab, the images of different class ships were illustrated along with. Apart from working and still models, numer

It's a small boat which is made up of plastic bottles which are fastened to a 9 mm Marine plywood sheet with the help of nut and bolt. It is capable of carrying a load of  around 120-150 kilograms. It has a draft of about 7 cms with optimum load, and the most interesting fact is the stability of the boat. it would not capsize even if the Load is concentrated at the ends. It was displayed in Shaastrayaan 2018. The team which constructed the boat consists of  1. Rejith R J - The Master Mind behind the Venture. 2. Nirmal J Sabu 3. Vignesh Raj 4. Don Tervin Lindo 5. Aswin Mohan 6. M Sreesanker 7. Jemin John 8. Noel Francis 9. Ranjith K  All the students are B.Tech Naval Architecture & Ship Building students from Department of Ship Technology, CUSAT. I heartily thank all my friends for the who have motivated us. Proud to say "Shippies did it" . ⚓️

Computer Aided Design using AutoCAD has made it much simpler for architects to express their concepts and ideas in a more lucid form. None can actually master AutoCAD overnight. Infinite possibilities will always invite our curiosity once we get a grip on commands and user interfaces. 'practice makes you a master on anything' this holds deeply true for modelling softwares.  Masters of AutoCAD usually advice us to write each and every command, a glimpse into 25 years back history of AutoCAD practise,  they started practising on AutoCAD purely based on commands. But today user-interfaces has been developed for every command which also demands constant practise, so that an architect finds the right symbol at the right time. When it comes to reality, commands are usually prefered due to fact, they become an 'automatic response' rather than a 'byhearted thing' in long run. The 2D drafting skill comes as a prerequisite of any engineering job except coding. Even a co

SNAS Software club is conducting eight-hour training programme on Computer Aided Design. Following topics are expected to cover in the programme. 2D Drafting 3D Modelling Drafting techniques for ship design Introduction to 3D printing The training programme is free and is only for students of Dept. of Ship Technology. The training programme is aimed at equipping students with software skills that will enable them to face industrial world confidently. Special emphasis on 3D modelling of ships is expected to produce innovative designs and models from Model Making Workshops during course curriculum. The classes are led by student members of SNAS who have undergone similar training and certification.

Society of Naval Architecture Students SNAS is an academic organisation of students pursuing 4 year course of B.Tech Naval Architecture and Ship Building from Dept. of Ship Technology, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT). With more than 40 years of functioning SNAS continues to be vital part student techno-cultural and social activities. With due guidance from senior faculties SNAS organises various seminars, competitions and exhibitions on par excellence with national and international standards
