Students actively involve themselves in various cocurricular

activities throughout the academic year. The SAE collegiate

club conducts “SWIRL” every year and encourages the

students to present papers. Our student team has won

various prizes in Aeromodelling and RC plane modeling.

During the academic year, students do mini projects in the

laboratories during their free time. Also the department

organizes guest lecturers then and there to make the

students understand the practical importance of the

concepts. During the semester breaks, students undergo in-

plant training at various reputed organizations and gain
