Society of Automotive Engineers
in SIES GST organized their first event on Advanced IC Engine Technology on the
14th and 15th of September, 2013. Two experienced speakers– Mr. Hitesh
Choudhary and Mr. Anand Subramanian, from EXPERTSHUB organization conducted the
workshop with over a hundred students in the audience. The speakers were amazed
to see that a large number of first year students were attending, so for their
benefit, they delved into the basics making sure that every concept was
absolutely clear to each and every student. Each and every doubt was attended
and some doubts were cleared with the help of videos. The presentations were
also assisted by informative videos. The topics which were covered included
evolution of engines, technologies related to IC engines, working of engines
and its various components. The various parts of an engine were displayed and
their functions were explained. It was a rare case where students got to see
each part individually.
The most interesting
section was the case study on DIESELMAX, a car made with two diesel engines,
which has broken the land speed record. It was interesting to know the various
modifications made in engines to suit as per the requirements of the vehicle.
The session were very interactive, engaging, and extremely informative. There
were case studies on CRD-i and DTS-i technology and virtual simulation tools
used in the industry.
The last session on the
second day was dedicated to a group activity wherein students were asked to
specify and design an engine as per the way it would be used. For example,
engines for a racing car, bike, tractor, ship, generator, etc. Students
received inputs and feedback on their ideas and everyone’s knowledge of the
subject increased manifold. The workshop was a great boost to the knowledge of
the students with them wishing for more such workshops.
