A team led by Dr. Chandana Siriwardana, Department of Civil Engineering, ����ͷ��, has won in an international competition organized by Asian Preparedness Partnership (APP) funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The team was among the six equal winners out of 51 candidates representing six countries competed for the "Social Innovation Grand Challenge" organized by APP

Civil Engineering Society of ����ͷ�� initiated the “SKILL-UP WITH CES-Webinar Series” for the undergraduates to get expert advice from renowned professionals from around the world. As the 2nd webinar under this series, Prof. Sunanda Dissanayake (Ph.D., P.E., F. ASCE – Chair and Professor of Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Kennesaw State University, USA) conducted an insightful online session on “Higher educational paths for Civil Engineering undergraduates” on 24th of October, 2021 from 6.00 p.m. onwards.

A felicitation ceremony of Senior Professor Priyan Dias was held on 30th September 2021, the day of his retirement as a hybrid event launched from the boardroom of Faculty of Graduate Studies at ����ͷ��. The event was organized by the Department of Civil Engineering to celebrate his 40+ years of long and distinguished service rendered to the department and the university. The highlight of the event was the farewell lecture by Senior Professor Dias aptly titled “On Connectivity” where he traced the linkages of the many aspects of his research. These included truss and road connectivity; system dynamics for concrete durability; neural networks for pattern recognition; structuring and interactions among various types of connected entities (e.g. in vulnerability, sustainability and degradation); socio-technical linkages (e.g. in resilience); and analogical transposition.

With the CES Official Website launch on 22nd of November, 2021, a golden memory was written down on the diaries of the Civil Engineering Students at the Department. On this remarkable day, Civil Engineering Society of ����ͷ�� proudly initiated an official website to showcase talents of the students embracing the tides of new technology. All the staff members, graduates and undergraduates of Civil engineering Department witnessed that blazing moment through a session conducted via Zoom.
