Various curricular and co-curricular activities has been con-ducted successfully by the department for the benefit of the students.

Seminars, workshops,IV’s & Industrial training was conducted to accompany with the course and the students were equipped with technical knowledge & critical thinking skills so that they can excel in the engineering profession.

I hope , that in the following years to come the commitment of the faculty & thechnical staffs, the department will continue to be the trend setter in offering an array of technological inventions in order to achieve re-search excellence.

DRONE ALPHA

The Drone Alpha is an easy-to-fly quadcopter for aerial surveillance and filming.

It includes a high- quality 4k resolution camera, an easy to control remote controller and best in class flight time, and it streams the video footage from the drone directly into one’s smartphone using an app.

The frame of the drone is made of carbon reinforced polymer which forms a rigid and strong structure for the drone to survive crash and also protects the electronic compo-nents.

The outer covering of drone is made using carbon fibre cloth as it provides a strong outer covering for the drone and insulates it from outer environment.

The drone is a combination of agility, performance& strength
