The
IEEE Manipal Dubai Student Branch organised a technical workshop titled “Let’s Go Design” on Thursday, October 2nd, 2014 at
the Manipal University.
The workshop was aimed not
only for IEEE student members but also was kept open to non-members and was
organized by the student member Sahil Rashid Mir with the help of student
organizing committee members Shashidhar Mangam, Stanley Baroi, Aashish Salian
and Faizan Jami. Over 18 students attended the workshop and returned 100%
positive feedback, making the workshop a success.
Solidworks
is a solid modelling CAD
(computer-aided design) software,
one of the most user friendly and affordable in the market. It has a wide range
of applications such designing prototypes, finite element analysis, 3D printing
and its also used for many school and university level competitions such as F1
in schools and SAE collegiate design series.
The workshop accomplished in bringing students with common interest together and
teach them the basics of 3D modelling with solidworks CAD software. This in turn will
help the students to gain interest in learning and also help them in a better
presentation of their future projects or ideas
The
workshop was inaugurated by the branch counsellor Prof. M I Jawid Nazir and Faculty-Coordinator
Prof. Abdulla K.P., which was followed
by the introduction of 3D modelling and its benefits as an engineer, by Sahil
Rashid Mir. The exercise sheet was handed over to the participating students
and were familiarized with the most basic setup and tools of the software by
following the trainer as he designed a very basic 3D model using all the basic
tools, the committee members guided the participants with any difficulties
faced, after which the attendees were asked to design an important component of
a 3D printer, followed by the demo of the application of the component.
