Project Based Learning Exhibition 2018-19 (AUTO & MECH Engg.)
Project based learning is a very successful learning technique used where the problem is the starting point of learning technique. Students get to work in group seeking multiple sources of information and creating authentic products. Project based learning started with the goal to help PHCET engineering students develop the skills, tools and character they will need as future leaders in the world of engineering practice. The benefits are plenty including improved designing of circuits skill, understanding concepts, people and processes in an organisation. The core idea of PBL is that real-world problems capture students’ interest and provoke serious thinking, as the students acquire and apply new knowledge in a problem-solving context.

The IoT Innovation Exhibition organized by the department of Information Technology of Pillai HOC College of Engineering and Technology, was held on 12th October, 2018. The total 21 groups have participated in this Exhibition. The students were motivated to conduct this exhibition during their IoT practical session which is the part of their curriculum for the current semester. The faculty in charge for the subject and students organized and participated in this programme very enthusiastically giving working models of where and how IoT can be used in our day today life.

The programme was inaugurated by Mr. Mohan Ingle Asst. Manager at National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM). He was very impressed by the hardware models and presentations of every group. With an endeavour to promote scientific attitude among budding young students, this exhibition was one of its kind. As the host team, IT Department students participated only for the spirit of participation, sharing and learning and not in the competitive section.

The judges applauded the students for their novel ideas as the world is moving towards digital India, which would help the world to become a much better place to live in. HOD prof. Monisha Mohan thanked all the participating teams for making this event a success and appreciated their novel projects. Students from other departments of Second Year, Third Year and Final Year had come to view the projects which in turn proved to be a learning experience for them. The ceremony of workshop came to an end with a group photo session.

Speaker Profile	Name: Prof. Binsu Babu Designation: Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering – Pillai College of Engineering Industry Experience: 4 years in Solid Works Teaching Experience: 3 years

Solid Works – a leading 3D solid modeling software – boasts a vast array of tools that can help you build better designs and spot errors that you might ordinarily miss. In this course, get acquainted with some of the more advanced manufacturing verification and simulation tools that are available in Solid Works and discover how you can leverage them to efficiently review your assemblies and parts for errors. Instructor Gabriel Corbett walks through a variety of time-saving tools that can help you save money and time on your projects, including Interference Detection, Clearance Verification, Hole Alignment, Costing, Part Reviewer and part and assembly Performance Evaluation. As he goes step-by-step through each tool, Gabriel shares real world examples that help to provide context for each feature.

Advanced Tools:

Sweep and Loft: Sweep is the one feature in Solid works that helps sweep a closed profile along a closed or open path. In a Loft, Profiles are the primary influence of the shape. Guide curves are used to shape the outside of feature between profiles. Loft feature also contains a centreline parameter which is meant to provide a direction for the centre locations of the profiles.

Example of Sweep Tool

Boundry Boss: The Solid Works Boundary Boss Base tool is an often overlooked, but very useful tool found on the features toolbar. It’s very similar to the lofted boss base tool and it’s possible to create pretty much the same geometry (with subtle differences) with both.
Surfacing in Solid Works: Solid Works ® 2017 removes obstacles to creating complex 3D geometry with powerful new surfacing features that save time and avoid complex workarounds. New features let you: Create geometry on any surfaces, with improved wrap features… Offset 3D Curve on a surface and offset edges or complete faces.
