STUDENT ACTIVITIES

BAJA SAEINDIA is a National level engineering competition. The objective of the competition is to engineer and manufacture a Single Seat ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE in accordance to the Rules set down by the organizers of the competition. (BAJA is pronounced as “Baha”).

BAJA is an event for the undergraduate engineering students, which is organized globally by the Society of Automotive Engineers, USA. The event originated in the name of Mini - BAJA, in the year 1976 at University of Carolina. Since then, the event has spanned across six countries – USA, Mexico, South Africa, Korea, Brazil and India. The BAJA SAE tasks the students to design, fabricate and validate a single seated four - wheeled off road vehicle to take part in series of events spread over a course of 3 days that test the vehicle for the sound engineering practices that have gone into it, the agility of the vehicle in terms of grade ability, speed, acceleration and maneuverability characteristics and finally its ability to endure that back breaking durability test.

Several factors contribute to making a winning buggy. First and foremost the buggy has to meet the strict specification of the rule book. The philosophy hasn’t changed since the event’s birth back in 1976 – the teams still need to build a simple all-terrain vehicle for recreation purpose that is aesthetically and ergonomically sound while still being a fun and durable machine in the real world conditions. The evaluation process for the BAJA SAEINDIA is a twofold process and students have to clear the Virtual Baja preliminary round before they start manufacturing their buggies for the main events.

The teams are judged on six main parameters in the Virtual BAJA event which are – their knowledge of the rule book, the design of the vehicle, the

project plan, the design methodology and the design evaluation plan. A total of 400 points are available for each team’s design and the top 120 teams were selected this year to complete in the main event. The evaluation process in the main event is a different ball game altogether and the students finally got to showcase their finished buggy’s to the judges. In the static tests, the buggies are evaluated on various factors such as cost, aesthetics and the quality of the fabrication. There are also many dynamic tests such as acceleration, braking, maneuverability over all terrain and a hill climb test, but none of these tests are more grueling than the endurance race where the drivers and buggies are pushed to their limits till a winner emerges.

BAJA

Research Focus:

Research at the Infrastructure Materials Lab focuses on concrete durability, early-age properties of concrete and the pursuit of high-performance civil engineering materials. Concrete, the most widely used building material in the world, is a sustainable material when properly designed and constructed. While new materials may show promise, they are often made from natural resources that are simply not found in quantities abundant enough to compete with or even replace the most used construction material in the world, concrete. It is for this reason that concrete is the most advantageous for further development as an advanced material, and enhancements to concrete to generate special properties or to achieve superior performance may be a central path forward to ensure both long-term durability and sustainability.

Research Focus:

The focus of Geotechnical Engineering research group’s is to find cost effective and sustainable ways of improving engineering properties of soils/rocks to ensure safety and reliability of Infrastructural development.

Objectives:• To strengthen understanding on concepts of rural development

with specific reference to the Indian context.

• To provide exposure to grassroot realities, in the rural setting with a focus on participation in interventions by NGOs.

• To strengthen insights and develop skills on participatory methodologies and tools used in rural development.

• To understand and appreciate broader contexts of other stakeholders, like government agencies, donors and local self governance institutions, while participating in existing field projects.

• To facilitate cross-cultural learning on development issues as well as other areas of inter-personal growth and learning.

As per the directive of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, a Technical Programme should comprise of at least 20% courses on Humanities and Management. For better execution of policies during one’s professional career, a technocrat is required to come to terms with the realities of life. In India, rural population comprises of nearly 70% of the country’s total population. In a developing nation like India, cities are getting saturated rapidly in many ways and the onus on administrative machinery is to focus on rural areas for development. In this regard, it has become mandatory to know and understand rural life and its demography. It is with this reference, School of Technology, under the aegis of Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, has introduced Civic and Social Service Internship (CSSI) as a course in B.Tech programme after completion of first year.

Objectives:• To expose students to various operations of the industry and

enhance their understanding about application of science and engineering principles studied in first two years of B.Tech programme.

• To develop student’s understanding about the industry operations and facilitate their academic and research learning for the 3rd and 4th year B.Tech programme.

• To develop students understanding of the industry value chain.

Industrial Orientation facilitates understanding about application of basic science and engineering acquired during first two years of curriculum and developing their understanding about the industry operation that will further facilitate their academic learning and research for the subjects to be taught during 3rd and 4th year of B.Tech Programme.

It is in this reference, 2nd year B.Tech students are scheduled to visit various industries across the country with a view to get familiar with Industry Operations.

Social Service Internship

Industrial Orientation

Engineering studies have two systems contributing side by side to the

enhancement of comprehension and study skills. The first is the theoretical

systems; conducted primarily in the form of lectures, tutorials and labs,

which are accompanied by frequent consultation of various knowledge

sources. The second is the practical system, in the form of Industrial and

Research Training, during which the students apply theories learnt. The

third year B.Tech students have undergone various industrial trainings

in their respective field with a view to make them familiar with industry

operations. The ultimate goal of the training is to accelerate integration into

professional careers once the graduate is hired for doing a certain task. This

can be achieved through many activities or objectives:

Objectives:

• To integrate all learning in real life environment.

• To expose students to all industrial engineering tasks like design, production, maintenance, services, equipment operations, technology and operational techniques.

• To enhance student’s scientific and practical capabilities. It makes the student perceive the practical signification of the academic topics handled at the faculty, and direct his thinking to the practical aspects.

• To give the student, the feeling of a professional career he/ she is heading for, before graduation. Industrial and Research Training can represent a valuable asset for the graduate and for the employer. For the latter, post-hiring training can be shortened.
