Name: SolidWorks

Date: 21st -22nd July 2018

The Enhancement of the skills in the Design and Assembly of SolidWorks workshop, held 21-22

July provided the budding Engineers brief introduction and application of SolidWorks-2018. The

aim was to make the students familiar with the need and importance of 3D modelling in the

growing industries. The workshop was structured around smaller, facilitated workshops and

presentations to allow all participants to get maximum practical knowledge. There were inputs

from highly experienced professionals from SRMIST and the students participated in the process

with enthusiasm. The workshop was a key activity for the ASME-SRM Student Section as part of

its their major event works that aims to empower learning, develop skills and support opportunities

for all within the societies within which they work. The workshop included lectures, demos and

practice sessions for the participants at the CAD Lab of SRMIST, KTR. A thorough demo over

selected designs that would help them to have a good command over the software and ample of

time for the practice of the participants was aimed and was achieved.

Competition Hour after the workshop

Name: Interactive Session

Date: 5th October 2018

The growth and the effectiveness of a team depends upon its leader. The section organized an

interactive session with Miss Erin Dolan, Program Manager- E-Fest ASME. The main motive for

Name: Engine Workshop

Date: 2nd March 2019

A workshop for engine overhauling was conducted on 7th of March 2019 by Mr. M Deepak

(Asst. Professor) at Automobile Hangar, SRMIST. The students were first briefed on the type of

engines and its classification. In this workshop, the students had a hands-on experience with all the

parts of petrol and diesel engines by dis-assembling it down to the smallest parts and then

assembling it back. The session was divided into two. The first was the theoretical session in which

the students were given insights of an engine. The classification of automobile engines with their

types, uses and applications. The students took apart an engine with the knowledge from the latter

session effortlessly. The students then assembled the engine back. This gives them an insight to

how all the components work in tandem to perform as an engine. All the students got a chance to

do a practical session on disassembling an engine and assembling it back.

Name: OPEN HOUSE

Date: 21st August 2019

The open house event was conducted by ASME SRM S.S. for the students of Mahindra World

School. The students were from grade 12 of science and commerce division. ASME SRM S.S.

invited the students to explore different laboratories of SRMIST and to get a brief of different

Engineering disciplines.

The first session was the campus tour where the students were taken to annexure campus on a bus

tour where they visited T.P. Ganesan Auditorium, FAB LAB, different labs, library and then

advanced to the main campus.

In the main campus the students had a break and then were offered some refreshments. The

following session was the introduction session for the students regarding Engineering and

SRMIST.

The following session was lab visit with the professors of SRMIST. The lab in charge of different

labs actually explained the details of lab and type of work that the engineering students do at

college. Students visited different labs including RPT lab, Robotics Lab, Mechanical Hangar,

Aerospace Hangar, Automobile Hangar, Biomechanics Lab etc.

At the end of the session the students were asked for the feedback of their tour and their response

was positive.

Conclusion: The objective of this event was to provide the insights of Engineering so that the

students would get some information about the subject in deciding their career.

This was the second workshop on Engine Overhauling conducted by Mr. M. Deepak, Assistant

Professor in Automobile Hangar, SRMIST. The main objective of this session was to provide the

insights of different IC engines and their functioning and applications based upon their design.

This was a one-day workshop for the students of SRMIST. The second instalment of the event

included the topics of designing parameters of the engine and the methods of fabrication of

different parts and assembling techniques. The workshop was divided into two sessions. The

students from different domains participated in the event. The first session was a theoretical session

where the students learned about the design aspects and fabrication methods of the parts of engine

and their various applications. The video session was arranged for the students to understand the

working process of the engine and functions of different supporting parts of engine. The session

came to an end after the final assembly of the engine. The final demonstration of a BMW 6-

cylinder inline engine was done and the students were awarded the certificates and then allowed

to leave.

Name: ELECTROPNEUMATICS

Date: 13th October 2019

The electro pneumatics workshop was conducted for the students of SRMIST. From designing to

the applications of the electropneumatic circuit was covered. he actuation and control of circuits

by Programmable Language Circuit (PLC) and its industrial application and its ease over the

electropneumatic circuit was practically explained and performed by the students. The students

were first taught about the components used in the field of simple pneumatics and

electropneumatic, their functions and how to differentiate between the same. Then, different

circuits concepts were taught by using the combination of different components for a particular

operation. Also, to get better understanding of the circuit before performing it practically, different

software was introduced to test the circuit for its proper working. In the second session of this

workshop it's most awaited part begins. The students were given hands on experience to build up

an electropneumatic circuit both practically and in the software named Festo fluid sim to get better

understanding of the concept covered in the first session.
