Let us bring more and more engineers to our fraternity. We have prepared for circulation a small booklet explaining all about membership, its advantages etc. Last month saw GSC hosting two big events back to back within a span of a week. First it was All India seminar on Polymer processing followed by 31 st National Convention of Civil Engineers, however post Reservation rally we had to postpone the later to 20-21 September. The All India Seminar went smoothly with huge presence of members, students and academicians as well as practicing engineers. We have established Gujarat State AMIE Alumni for those who have obtained AMIE degree from The Institution of Engineers (India). AMIE degree holders may join by sending their contact details to us. Alumni programs are being worked out. We shall announce the same in our newsletter shortly.
