The Department of Engineering, Sciences and Humanities organized a creative design competition titled “Mathematics in Art” on 4^th April, 2026. The initiative aimed to bridge the gap between abstract mathematical concepts and tangible artistic expression, encouraging first-year B.Tech students to see mathematics as a tool for beauty, symmetry, and structure, rather than just calculation.

Under the guidance of Coordinator Dr. Kirti Sahu, students were challenged to apply mathematical principles, including symmetry, fractals, and the golden ratio, in original artworks. The competition promoted an interdisciplinary approach, integrating conceptual understanding with creative application.

Enthusiastic participation from the first-year engineering cohort resulted in teams collaboratively producing visual representations of mathematical theories. Participants demonstrated conceptual clarity by explaining the logic behind their designs and reported increased confidence in applying mathematics to unconventional problems. The two-student team format also encouraged peer-to-peer learning and effective collaboration.

The event was evaluated by Prof. Anthony Augustine and Dr. Kirti Sahu, who observed a notable improvement in student engagement, creativity, and appreciation for applied mathematics. Overall, the competition successfully combined analytical thinking with artistic expression, reinforcing the relevance of mathematics beyond textbooks and fostering holistic learning experiences for students.
