Co-Curricular Activities

Developing a website www.mohangupta.com to provide standard supplementary course material on steel structures to the students and teaching faculty across the country. The idea is to provide complete set of lecture notes (unit wise), power point slides of these lectures, previous question papers and their solution (University examinations and Sessional tests), and links to related sites. The site is under continuous improvement.

 

Instrumental in erecting a steel sculpture in Bhilai Institute of Technology, Durg, Chhattishgarh, India. This sculpture is significantly different from those in the Western Universities and utilizes sections that are available in India. This sculpture acts as a teaching aid while teaching steel structures to the students and helps students in visualizing different shapes, configurations and connections in steel structures.
