Participation in BAJA SAE India 2017

The Department of

Mechanical Engineering of

Shri Vishnu Engineering

College for Women highly

encourages the Practical

projects for skill

development of students. A

group of 25 Students

formed a Purely women

team and competed with

their own made All Terrain

Hyundai Motors India

Limited (HMIL) is the

second largest automobile

manufacturer in India

having its Headquarter at

Chennai. The company

accepted our request to visit

HIML which was

scheduled on 10th March,

2017 (Friday). A group of

20 students along with two

faculty members left for

Chennai on 09th March

2017.

Hyundai Industrial Visit – Chennai Plant

The students were first taken to the assembly unit where they saw the robotic spot welding,

seam welding, followed by wire system installation, brake lining installation, seat beat

installation, fuel tank installation and lights installation. The overall process was a movable

conveyer system where employees were completing their works in a very disciplined manner.

The plant has a number of robots, Robotic arms, AGVs, and automated systems which created a

lot of interest and knowledge in the minds of students. The industrial visit helped the students to

see the Robotic welding technology, assembly line, time management and many more things in

a real time experience.

Terrain Vehicle. A total of 153 teams competed on a common ground of Pitampur-Indore

(Bhopal).

Team Ziba Racers was the only Purely women team from South India in the event. The event

was of 4 days having different Rounds like Technical Inspection, Brake Test, Acceleration

Test, Weight Test, Sled pull, Maneuverability. The event had static rounds like Go-Green

award, Business and Sales Presentation and Design Evaluation.

Team Ziba Racers proved its mettle by Qualifying for all the rounds and completing 4

successful Laps in Final Endurance.

Medha Milan 2017

As a regular practice, Shri Vishnu Engineering

College for Women oraganized a National Technical

Women Symposium 'Medha Milan' on 7th & 8th

March 2017. The chief guest for the inaugural was

Sri.G.V.Rao, Chief Operating Officer K.C.P Sugars

and Industries Corporation Ltd. Our Principal

Dr.G.Srinivasa Rao garu, Vice-Principal Shri P.

Srinivasa Raju garu and Convener, Dr.P V V Rama

Rao were the dignitaries on the dais. Symposium different events like Hardware Expo, Quiz, Auto Cad and Water Rocket were

conducted. There is a huge response from various participants from other states from India.

The valedictory function ended up by distributing certificates to the winners and the received a

fantastic feedback from the students.

There are different types of thermal power plants in India based on types of fuel used to

generate the steam such as coal, gas, diesel and others. About 75% of electricity consumed in

India is generated by thermal power plants. This visit helped students to correlate between the

different equipment and parameters used in actual power generation technique with the one

given in the books. This was really a better exposure to what was taught in the class room.

" Before you start some work, always ask yourself three

questions - Why am I doing it, What the results might be

and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and

find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead.“ -

Chanakya

"Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of

failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely

are the happiest.“ –

Industrial Trip to Thermal Power Station

The main reason to visit this power plant

was to understand and get complete

knowledge about practical overview of

energy generation plant. A Thermal

power station is a power plant in which

heat energy is converted into electrical

power. Water is heated turned into steam

and spins a steam turbine which drives a

generator. After it passes through the

turbine, the steam is condensed and

recycled to where it is heated, This is

known as a Rankin Cycle.
