The Department of Civil Engineering at Bishop Jerome Institute is gearing up to host an interactive, full-day Workshop on SketchUp on Monday, September 14, 2026. Aligned with the theme "Modelling Ideas, Building Possibilities," the event is designed to equip engineering students with essential digital 3D modeling skills needed in modern structural design and construction workflows.

Event Overview

  • Institution: Bishop Jerome Institute (School of Engineering, Architecture & Management), Kollam

  • Organizing Body: Department of Civil Engineering

  • Resource Person: Mr. Akhil Lal V, Co-Founder of Artika School of Design

  • Date & Time: Monday, September 14, 2026 | 09:00 AM – 04:30 PM

  • Venue: Civil CAD Lab, Department of Civil Engineering

What Participants Will Learn

Guided by industry practitioner Mr. Akhil Lal V, the session follows the core mantra "Design Today, Build Tomorrow." Attendees will receive direct, hands-on training tailored to real-world applications across three key areas:

  • Learn Basics: Navigating the SketchUp interface and mastering fundamental design toolsets.

  • Create 3D Models: Developing precise spatial structures, architectural elements, and complex 3D visual models.

  • Practical Applications: Integrating 3D visualization into professional civil engineering projects and client presentations.

The session will take place in the Department's Civil CAD Lab, ensuring every student has access to interactive systems and dedicated guidance throughout the practical exercises.

Registration details and student participation guidelines are available through the Department of Civil Engineering.
