Feel Employable - Day 3 (Rocketeers?)

A Visitor ...
for Day 3

Hope Day 3 keeps the momentum!

The World's Most Dangerous Airports

World's Most Dangerous Airports

The most dangerous airports in the world, from offshore airports in japan to ice covered ones in Antarctica to an airport which has a road that runs through it in Gibraltar!
Lukla Airport Nepal
Since Lukla Nepal is the place most people start their Mount Everest trek, this Himalayan strip gets quite a bit of traffic--mostly to and from Kathmandu. Sirens inform folks for miles when an airplane is landing here, and as you would suspect, only helicopters and Twin Otter type planes can handle the 2,000 foot, uphill runway that is fenced off at the end, to protect you from the edge of a mountain cliff.

Chart Designing : Part Deux

Students of the First year (2011-2015 batch) participated in the Chart Designing Competition today on Monday 13-Dec-2011 successfully designing Charts relevant to their disciplines for the specific Laboratories, some of them designing over 5 charts.

These Charts will now be shortlisted for Printing. We congratulate the students who were able to perform beyond expectations to reach this milestone.

The event was conducted during the afternoon session at the 'Tech Lab'.
