AIChE Student Chapter, along with ChESA organized a talk held by the BPDC
Alumni (Mechanical Engineering Graduate), Mr. Hitesh Aggarwal, The Mechanical
Director of Jindal Saw Gulf and Super Cement Manufacturing on 20th September
2016, at 9:30 am in G34. He gave in an overview to the students about the ‘Recent
Techniques in Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC)’. It was attended by Chemical
Engineering 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students as well as the department Faculty. He
spoke about:
1. Precipitated Calcium Carbonate from Ca(OH)2 and the recovery of the
desired structure.
2. His experience and challenges after Graduation.
3. How to tackle problems/challenges in Industries?
4. How challenges lead one to success?
5. How both theoretical and practical knowledge acquired in university useful
at workplace?
It was not just a theoretical lecture but more like an interactive session where
students were motivated. He also promised an industrial visit for the students to
his company for informative purposes.

The Sister Chapters program helps prepare our students for the increasingly
global environment they will enter upon graduation. This program complements
AIChE global development initiatives by connecting AIChE Student Chapters from
different countries to form yearlong partnerships throughout the academic year.
The goal of the Sister Chapter Program is to match up Student Chapters from
different countries and allow them to network with Chemical Engineers in
different parts of the world. We also encourage chapters to discuss their
Student Chapter goals and give each other ideas on how to improve their
Student Chapters.
Goals:
Increase international awareness of, connection to, and involvement
with AIChE
Build an ongoing relationship between International and American
AIChE student chapters
Connect future chemical engineers from around the globe with AIChE
Provide insight into AIChE student chapters to other chemical
engineering academic programs and fields of interest around the
globe.
Brigham Young University, Utah is the American Sister Chapter of BITS Pilani,
Dubai for the session 2015-2016. The Officers’ Board is in constant
communication with them through mails and Skype Calls.
In the first meeting of the semester, BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus Student Chapter
has planned to collaborate with other Student Chapters in the region. The goal of
this initiative is to assist each other in establishing similar programs as well as
conduct/host/participate in various Events of either University. This is also
expected to rigger the participation of students in various of our upcoming events.
Student Leadership Committee will be undertaking this step of collaboration and
parallelly organizing an event for the BPDC Interuniversity Student Fest – Enginuity
Nov. ’16.
