Training / Internship

A personal dialogue with top executives of a large number ofindustries resulted in better understanding of their functionalrequirements and training activities. This effort also helped theT&PUnit in theeffectiveplanningof summerpractical training for3rd year B.Tech./Dual degree/IntegratedM.Tech. students, besides

NPTEL ProjectThe NPTEL project funded by MHRD has been successfullycompleted. Under this programme, all the seven IITs andIndianInstituteofSciencehaveworkedtogethertodevelopwebandvideobasededucationalmaterialforundergraduatescourses initially in five disciplines, viz., Civil Engineering,Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering,ElectronicsandCommunicationEngineeringandMechanicalEngineering. The web courses so developed are availablethrough the various servers authorized by NPTEL.

MECHANICAL FABRICATION FACILITY (IDDC)

The Mechanical Fabrication Facility was a Central Facilitylocated at IDDCCentre to cater to the entirepostgraduatemechanical fabrication needs of the institute. However, itis under re-organization and is being clubbedwith CentralWorkshop.

CENTRAL WORKSHOP

CentralWorkshopisoneofthepivotingunitsoftheinstitutewhich teaches conceptually “how” a product comes toits present form byway of imparting coremanufacturingeducation to all the first year students of IITDelhi. It alsoprovidesproductmanufacturingsupporttoentireinstitutecommunity in general and undergraduate students inparticular.More than900undergraduate students in theirfirstyearacquirehands-onmanufacturingskillsinthisCentral

Workshop. The Central workshop not only introduces artand scienceofmanufacturingbut also infuses confidenceto take up product design and manufacturing activitiesin future. CentralWorkshop is also a place where B.Techstudents of Mechanical Engineering and B.Tech studentsof Production & Industrial Engineering acquire trainingand knowledge in specialized areas ofmanufacturing likeMetalCasting,MetalForming,MetalMachining,Welding&Joining, Metal Forging Woodworking, CNC programmingand3DPrinting,PlasticProductmanufacturingetc.M.Tech.students of Production group also use central workshopfacilitiesfortheirpracticalclassesinvariouscoursesaswellasforprojectandresearchwork.

The central workshop is fully equipped with latest powertools,equipmentsandfacilitiesinallareasofmanufacturingtechnologies. It also caters to the fabrication needs ofstudents doing product design & manufacturing courses,minor projects, B.Tech, project,Masters thesis andDoctoralresearch.Largenumbersofstudentsusethisfacilitytobuildproducts and compete at national and international levelproductbuildingcompetitionslikeFormulastudentcar,miniBaja,Roboconetc. The facilitycanalsobeusedbyexternalagencies for theirmanufacturingand trainingneedsduringthevacationperiod.

Central workshop has undertaken efforts to reorganize,modernized and prepare it for continuously changingglobalmanufacturingscenario.Effortsarealsoontopreparestudentsforabroaderviewofmanufacturingwhichinvolvesplanning and deploying optimum ways to transformationof rawmaterial intogoodsby integrationofpeople,capital,processes, systems and enterprises to deliver products ofvaluetothesociety.
