 CEPT- A happy dream that came true. It gave me stories far my life and we started here with learning together but ended with living together. Here, with the expertise of professionals & dedication of core faculty; we came up with salving problems but not to learn solutions. CEPT is not about the days we spent there but about the nights that we lived and learned together. To sum this up, In between "what is Beam?" to “Progressive Collapse”, CEPT happened.

CEPT: "Second home where I learnt bonding, integrity, trust and faith, and ultimately I started thinking like a human rather than just a typical man".SED: "Place, where theory meets the practical, especially the Studio program, which made me consider other aspects of possible structural behaviour".

Akhila Mutha: 2013-15

My experience of doing SED at CEPT University has been fantastic in many ways. The course content is very rigorous and yet flexible. The program started with a strong emphasis on basics of structural engineering and then taking it to advanced design. The importance of standard codes of practice and understanding that the codes are absolute maxima and minima is a great take away. The courses were handled by a mix of in-house faculty and a external faculty who are pioneers in their respective domain like design of water tanks, silos, chimneys, industrial and marine structures respectively. The unique feature of doing SED at CEPT university is learning through design studios. This method gave me an opportunity to work independently on real problems but also guided by the very talented faculty when in need.To summarize, doing SED at CEPT University was a life changing experience for me in addition to the experience of being in one of the best aesthetically designed campus in India and probably the world.
