Preface

In the succeeding pages you will get to know all the important details

about SAE Collegiate Club: ITM University. The texts will give you an

insight of how we work and what we are working for. Also in the next

few pages we have mentioned our achievements so far.

The main topic of the proposal i.e. our requirement for a junkyard is

followed by these topics. The requirement for a junkyard arose after

the club’s reach was broadened. We have been actively participating

in number of national events since our formation. Recently we

performed in a national level event ‘ECO-KART 2014’ and fabricated a

vehicle in the campus itself. Due to lack of a proper place for work we

faced lots of problems. This year our club is full of experience and

enthusiasm. We are participating in four different events in this

season and thus a proper place for work is very much essential.

So for the rest part of proposal our main focus would be centred on

plan of the place of work we will call it a Junkyard, its components,

facilities required and related discussions.

Who we are?

SAE Collegiate club of ITM University is a student organized and

maintained club. We are associated with SAEINDIA which is an affiliate society of SAE International registered in India as an Indian nonprofit engineering and scientific society dedicated to the advancement of mobility industry in India. SAE or Society of Automotive Engineering was found in early 1900s in the USA as a society working for technical advancement in field of automobile. The prominent names associated with this club are Henry Ford, Wright Brothers etc. SAEINDIA is India's leading resource for mobility technology. As an individual member driven society of mobility practitioners the ownership of SAEINDIA wrests with its members who are Individuals from the mobility community, which includes Engineers Executives from Industry, Government Officials, Academics and Students. We have been officially registered with SAEINDIA and are eligible to participate in all the premier events organized by it. The major events organized by SAEINDIA is Formula SAE or Supra, BAJA, EFFICYCLE etc. All these events are sponsored by giants of automobile industry in the country. Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti-Suzuki, TVS, Force Motors, ARAI, ANSYSS etc. are to name a few.

What we intend to do?

Working under the motto of “We believe in ownership rather than

leadership.”

We started this club with an idea of inculcating a technical

environment in this campus, an environment in which every

automobile enthusiast find its place. As a student organised club we

focus on knowledge enhancement of each and every member of the

club. Being a member of the club, you become a member of

professional society SAEINDIA, from which you get to know about

the latest trends in automotive industry. One can access digital

library, research papers and other relevant texts from society’s

knowledge source.

Apart from these resources the major area of interest for a member

is different events organised by SAEINDIA. The major events

organised by the society are BAJA, SUPRA, EFFICYCLE and TECHNICAL

PAPER PRESENTATION. First three of which gathers the most

attention by any student member. Here a team has to design,

optimise and self-fabricate a vehicle type with given parameters. The

designs and reports are analysed by jury from automobile industry.

Winners are rewarded with prize money as well as deserving

candidates gets placed in certain core firms. These events tests your

technical skills as well as your managerial skills thus making you an

engineer and entrepreneur at the same time.

We always want every member to possess such skills and are

tirelessly working in this direction. Because we believe that,

members benefit will benefit the club and in turn it will benefit the

institution. We have been constantly trying to broad our reach. We

are participating in number of events and are representing our

University there. From our first success i.e. ECOKART-2014 we have

already made an impact of our University’s name in the event. In this

season we are sending four teams from university in different

events. We are very much confident about their success. Their

success would mark our University as a centre of excellence on the

national map. With our achievements core companies could get

attracted to our campus for placement drive.

Also as a responsible citizen, we intend to use whatever knowledge

we gather, for betterment of society. Developing hybrid vehicles to

less waste producing production process is on our working list.

These are the most basic things we have in our pipe line, with

institution’s support we believe we could get through all of them.

What we have done so far?

Since last two years we have been working really hard to meet our

goals and somehow we were successful in doing that. In the first year

things were not easy going and we did faced some problems. But

gradually we worked on and organised ourselves as a fully functional

club. Now we have a total of 76 members selected through a

selection procedure. The club’s working is maintained by its core

members who are student member also selected through a proper

selection procedure.

As an automobile enthusiasts club our first success came from ECO-

KART 2014. The event was organised by SAE Collegiate club of

Gautam Buddha University, Greater Noida. The event’s demand was

fabrication of an electric go-kart. We formed a team of ten people

again selected though a proper selection procedure who worked for

the event. Our guys worked day and night and performed up to its

best abilities at the virtual round. We cleared the Virtual round

successfully which qualified us for the dynamic round. We were to

present our vehicle’s design and other document related to project

plan. We fought hard and secured 12th rank and were ahead of big

shots like VIT, Thapar, L.P.U, KIIT, Jamia Milia, and NIT-Jaipur.

Also we knew that only sending 10 or 20 people to certain event is

not going to help all the members of the club. So we organised an

inter-college quiz competition inspired by Mahindra AUTO-

QUOTIENT, which was based on general knowledge of automotive

world.

The quiz competition organised was under the name of AUTO-QUIZ

VERSION 1.1. Students from different colleges such as RJIT, MALWA,

ITM Universe and ITM University participated in the quiz. The prize

money set for the quiz was the highest for any event organised so far

by students in ITM University. The quiz enhanced all the participant’s

automotive knowledge. Also each and every participants were given

a participation certificate from the club.

Apart from these things we have organised a seminar on “Working

and principles of Brakes” from which members got an in-depth

knowledge of working of braking systems. Also all the members were

provided with different resources related to automobile technology

to enhance their automotive knowledge.

What we need from institution?

We have got constant support from institution for whatever we have

done so far and we are very thankful for that. We always expect this

generous support from the institution, this thing keeps our

motivation strong and high.

Now in order to maintain the working of club and associated teams

going for different events we need certain things. For any

organisation, be it small or big, proper functioning requires an

infrastructure. So we too need a proper place or infrastructure for

our club. The intricacies of the plan is discussed in next section.

Other than a place, we have felt the requirement of an exclusive

notice board for the club where we can display important notices

and other relevant texts. Also for teams participating in different

events requires different machine tools. From our past experience in

ECO-KART 2014, we came to the conclusion that we need a MIG

welding setup. So these are other issues which needs consideration.

But for the time being we are focussed on getting a proper place for

our work. We are calling it a JUNKYARD. This place would be a

paradise for every auto maniac in the campus and a landmark for

technical excellence in ITM University.
