Mechanical Engineering Department News Letter: 2016 – 17, Volume 02, Issue 01

From Department Head

Department of Mechanical Engineering took initiative to publish

department e-newsletter at the end of every semester containing

some important information and major achievements during

respective semester. Accordingly, the endeavor kick started in

academic year 2015/16 and issue 1 was made online on GCET

website with encouraging opening note from the Principal Dr.

Himanshu Soni. Subsequently issue no. 2 covering proceedings of II

sem., that is, even semester of academic year 2015/16 had also hit

the website and mailed to all alumnae. And few of them appreciated

the move to be in live touch with the department. The basic motive

behind this effort of publishing e-newsletter every semester is to

showcase achievements of students, faculty and staff members. We

also aim to be in active touch with the large pool of our alumni

members by this. I am sure with our collective efforts we can

continuously go on enhancing this endeavor.

I am happy to release this issue (2016/17 issue 1) of department e-newsletter. We are eager to listen from

our esteemed alumnae for any improvements/additions etc. to make this e-newsletter more effective.

Request to our alumnae: We would be more than happy to have few contributions from your side in

terms of technical and/or general articles/updates/informative stuff for the students etc. to be

included in next issue.

GCET ASME Student Section celebrated Engineers Day as EXODIA 16 on 15th September,

2016. This day is birthday of Great Pioneer Indian Engineer, Dr. M Visvesvaraya with huge

vigor and enthusiasm. The active GCET ASME Student Team decorated the foyer creatively by

giving it a Mechanical touch and setting the banners in motion with motors and gears. This itself

shows the enthusiasm of the ASME Team towards the event.

The team organized following events on this day. Students from different disciplines participated

in these events.

Short Term Training Programme On Research Trends In Robotics Mechanical Engineering Department of G H Patel College of Engineering & Technology (A

Charutar Vidya Mandal Institution) has organized a Short Term Training Programme on

Research Trends in Robotics during 5th-10th December 2016. 31 delegates from 15 Different

engineering institutions and industry participated in this training programme. Eminent

personalities like Prof. (Dr.) S K Saha (IIT Delhi), Dr. Vineet Vashista (IIT Gandhinagar), Dr.

Atul Thakur (IIT Patna), Dr. Subhasis Bhaumik (School of Mechatronics & Robotics, IIEST

Shibpur, Howrah), Dr. T A Dwarakanath (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai), Dr.

Himanshu Chaudhary (MNIT Jaipur), Dr. Jatin Dave (Nirma University, Ahmedabad), Dr. J. M.

Prajapati (M S University Baroda), Prof. (Dr.) Vinay Patel (BVM), Dr. Haresh Patollia (BVM),

Dr. Y. D. Patel (ADIT) and Mr. Ravi Teja (KUKA Robotics) delivered their expert talk. They

have discussed on insightful issues related robotics viz., development human centered robotics,

challenges in the development of humanoid robot, research gap in space robots, mechanism of

bioinspired robotics, research on fish robots, dynamic balancing of robot, development of

parallel manipulators for various machining and medical applications, research on legged robots,

robotics competition based education, Robo-Analyzer: A software for robotics research, current

and future of industrial robots, research on Exo-skeleton robots and assistive devices etc. An

industrial visit at Magna Cosma International, Sanand plant was also conducted to realize robots

working in industrial environment.

A Workshop On Non-Destructive Testing

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and

industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage.

As NDT does not permanently alter the article being inspected, it is a highly valuable technique

that can save both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting and research. Keeping

the same thing as a vision, a workshop was organized by the Mechanical engineering

Department and ISTE Student Chapter, GCET. The expert who visited college was Mr.Krutik Shah who is highly experienced person in NDT

training and services. He has served National and International industries in this area.
