WORKSHOPS CONDUCTED BY DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

1. 3D PRINTING: The 3D printing workshop provided hands-on experience with the fundamentals of additive manufacturing. Participants learned about 3D printing technology, including types of printers, materials used (like PLA and ABS), and the step-by-step printing process. The session covered 3D modeling basics using software such as Tinkercad or Fusion 360, enabling attendees to design simple objects. Demonstrations of slicing software and live printing showcased real-time object creation. Safety measures, printer calibration, and troubleshooting techniques were also discussed. By the end of the workshop, participants gained practical knowledge and confidence to begin creating their own 3D printed prototypes and projects
2. QUADCOPTER DRONE: The Quadcopter Drone workshop introduced participants to the principles of drone technology and flight mechanics. Attendees learned about the components of a quadcopter, including motors, ESCs, flight controllers, propellers, and batteries. The workshop covered the basics of aerodynamics, thrust generation, and stabilization. Hands-on sessions involved assembling a drone, wiring, and configuring the flight controller using software like Betaflight. Safety guidelines and troubleshooting tips were emphasized. Participants also explored drone applications in fields like surveillance, agriculture, and delivery. By the end, they gained practical experience in building and flying a quadcopter, along with an understanding of drone operation and control systems.
3. ARDUBOTICS ROBOTICS: The Ardubotics Robotics Workshop is an engaging, hands-on program designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of robotics, electronics, and programming using Arduino. Participants learn to build and program robots, gaining practical experience in sensors, actuators, and embedded systems. The workshop encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork through interactive sessions and real-world applications. By the end, students develop functional robotic models and gain a strong foundation in STEM concepts. Suitable for beginners, the workshop blends theory with experimentation, inspiring young minds to explore technology and innovation in a fun and educational environment. It’s ideal for schools and tech enthusiasts alike.
