A Note from the Principal

Dr. Nethaji S. Ganesan

Chief Faculty Advisor, SAE – DSCE

Principal, Dayananda Sagar College of

Engineering

DAYANANDA SAGAR INSTITUTIONS was

founded during 1964 by the great

visionary late R. Dayananda Sagar whose

vision was to provide education for all.

He took up this assignment after making

great personal sacrifices. Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, a flagship institution is today

perhaps the largest Engineering School in the country with 16 Undergraduate courses, 16

Postgraduate courses and 12 Research Centres with a student population of about 6000 on the

campus.

The Institution boasts of excellent infrastructure, high‐tech classrooms, well qualified faculty with

more than 50 of them having Doctorate Degrees from reputed organizations. The DSCE encourages

students to have more and more of academician‐industrial interactions. IBM Centre of Excellence,

Infosys Campus Connect, Wipro Mission 10X, Student Chapter of Society of Automotive Engineers,

Student Chapter of Computer Society of India, Student Chapter of IEEE are some of the initiatives

taken up by DSCE with active participation of students.

It is very heartening to note that SAE INDIA will be conducting Virtual BAJA 2011 on 19th & 20th

August 2011 at the DSI Campus. 244 teams from all over the country will be participating to highlight

their BAJA project. DSCE is honored to host this event.

The Students Chapter of SAE INDIA on the DSCE Campus is very active and has a whopping number

of members, which is more than 400. They meet regularly and conduct programmes such as

Quizzes, Technical Talks, Industrial Visits and Career Counseling Sessions. The members had an

opportunity to visit renowned industries such as Solar Power Plant at Kolar district put up by KPCL,

world renowned CNC machining plant established by M/s ACE Designers Limited. The students have

also taken up fabrication of an All‐Terrain vehicle.

I would be failing in my duty if I do not mention that it is due to the efforts of DSCE students branch

of SAE INDIA who are responsible for bringing the forthcoming Virtual BAJA 2011 on DSCE Campus. I

wish good participation and good luck to all the colleges who will be making the presentations, and

before I end I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the participants.

o Upon verification, the team would be given a tag containing the Panel No. and

Sequence No. The Panel No. describes the judging panel assigned to the team and

the sequence number indicates the position in the sequence in which various teams

identity number. The team is required to keep the tag in safe custody as it would be

required to submit it to the judge once the evaluation is initiated. Failing this, the

team would NOT be awarded any score.

The current sequence no. Under evaluation at various panels would be announced at the

holding arena

If the sequence number of the team is ‘n’ the team is required to report to the arena when

the current sequence under evaluation is n‐2. Till this time, the team is required to be

present at the holding area.

Once the team reports to the arena, it is required to report at the verification desk. The

volunteers would guide the team to the judging panel.

As soon as the team enters the evaluation room, they are required to submit the identity tag

to the panel, without any failure.

After the evaluation is concluded, the team may proceed for refreshments (depending on

the assigned lot), after which, they would be required to collect the Virtual BAJA

Participation Certificates for the team and leave the institute premises. Certificates would

NOT be sent to any participating team after conclusion of Virtual BAJA.

NOTE: ANY ACT OF INDISCIPLINE OR DOURLY BEHAVIOUR DURING THE EVENT AND AT THE
