Technical Visit of Civil Engineering Students

  "Personal Development is a major time-saver, the earlier you become better, the less time  it takes you to achieve your goals." Truly said, and this year with a creative change in syllabus GTU introduced a subject called Integrated Personality Development Course. To develop moral values, ethics, and awareness among the students, Saffrony Institute of Technology and IPDC Team organized an activity in Vision India 2030 for all the 6th semester students. 

  The aim of organizing this activity was to make students come out of their comfort zone with healthy interaction among the team, managing the leadership skills, having respect for each other and most importantly to reach out to people for communication. Well with a challenging exercise of minimising the use of internet as much as possible, students were divided into 10 teams and allocated various sectors, namely Defense, Medical, Trade and Diplomacy, Economics, Science and Technology, Infrastructure and Transportation, Agriculture, Aeronautical, Education and Vision India 2030 which are the areas for the development of India.

  Apart from incredible teamwork and creativity in presentation from participating students, a  noteworthy acknowledgement to our dear HoD's and faculty members present during the presentation who kept the teams motivated throughout by sharing their valuable thoughts and reviews which gave very reinforcement to students to keep performing great and outdo themselves in every way!

Here are the glimpses of the enthralling webinar:

The Mechanical & Automobile Engineering Department organized an industrial visit for the students of 8th and 6th Semester Automobile Engineering at the  Starline Tractors (Tafe) on 3rd March 2021.

 The objective of the visit was to see, understand and get some practical exposure related to the subject ‘Special Purpose Vehicles’ which the 8th & 6th Semester Automobile Engineering students are currently studying. The Tractor is a big unit and study topic of the subject so we decided to visit the company to get the practical knowledge regarding these special purpose vehicles especially Tractors. 

Tractor is a self propelled power unit having wheels or tracks for operating agricultural implements and machines including trailers. Tractor engine is used as a prime mover for active tools and stationary farm machinery through power-take off (PTO) or belt pulley.

The company is dealing with Massey Ferguson tractors which is an England based MNC and it is a big name in tractor industry. In India it is operated by joint venture with Tafe tractors. During the visit, Mr. Vishnubhai Prajapati (Service Engineer) nicely explained everything about the tractors practically. They showed various parts and systems of tractors like air filter system, radiator system, engine system, clutch and gearbox systems etc. They explained about the sysnchroshuttle gearbox for full speed reverse mechanism as well showed the braking systems of tractors and explained its working. Moreover, they explained the three point linkage (hitch) which is used for various attachments for tractors applications and explained the working PTO and gearbox, differential and locking differential gear box, steering system worm and worm wheel and hydraulic pump system. All the students have really enjoyed and learned by the visits and got good knowledge.

The Mechanical & Automobile Engineering Department organized an industrial visit for the students of 8th and 6th Semester Automobile Engineering at the  Bhupendra Crane Service, Mehsana on 3rd March 2021.

The purpose of the two visits was to see, understand and get some practical exposure related to the subject ‘Special Purpose Vehicles’ which 8th & 6th Semester Automobile Engineering students are currently studying. The Cranes is a big unit and study topic of the subject so we decided to visit the company to get the practical knowledge regarding these special purpose vehicles especially cranes. 

The crane has been a part of the working landscape since its invention in ancient Greece and is still considered as an essential piece of equipment for heavy construction work and lifting tasks of all kinds. It is equipped with cables and pulleys, and based upon the application of fundamental mechanical principles, a crane can lift and lover loads well beyond the capabilities of human construction workers. Crane design has evolved to meet the demands of a variety of industrial needs and modern cranes often coordinate simple systems to achieve complex lifting tasks – sometimes in environments which would be dangerous for human workers.

 The company is the leading in the sector of Crane Service in Gujarat. Bhupendra has been giving its services since 2005. The Company owns 45 units Crane from 20 tons to 500 tons & 15 trailers. They also do repairs and service of Japanese, Chinese, German make and all other kind of Cranes in any range. Their Crane engineers and crane technicians are trained in electrical, electronic, hydraulic and mechanical crane repairs. Their crane engineers can carry out all aspects of work on Liebherr cranes. They showed us various crane models available there and explained their operations, all the main components of cranes and discussed how the cranes are selected for specific job. They told while placing a crane on the job site which criteria should be fulfilled to carry out crane work and explained the working and operations of different types of cranes in more practical way which really helped the students to understand the subject effectively. Then they showed us different engines lying on their workshop and told how their mechanics and technicians work on making new cranes from the scrape. It was a wonderful visit and students have learnt a lot about the Cranes and its operations.

The Mechanical & Automobile Engineering Department organized an industrial visit for the students of 8th and 6th Semester Automobile Engineering at the JCB Amin Equipments, Ahmedabad on 2nd March, 2021.

The objective of the industrial visit was to see and understand how Special Purpose Vehicles are made by JCB Company. One of the key objectives of this visit was to seek inputs from organization named JCB Amin Equipments LLP which will help Automobile students of 8th & 6th semester of our Institute to relate the content of their GTU syllabus of subject ‘Special Purpose Vehicles’ with the realm scenario of technologies related to Special Purpose Vehicles. Earth-moving equipments are ubiquitous across applications in the construction industry. They are used for a wide range of earthworks including laying foundations, grading soil, removing dirt and rocks, digging trenches, demolition works, etc. These complex machines are operated by professionals. Different types of earth-moving machines are capable of accomplishing different types of tasks and owing to technological advancements in the industry, today there are various types of earth-moving machinery available in the market capable of catering to almost any kind of construction activities.

JCB Amin Equipments LLP is a main dealer company in Gujarat which supplies various vehicles such as Loaders, Front Loader – Rear Back Hoe, Skid Steer Loader, Excavators, Road Rollers etc. from low capacity to high capacity vehicles depending on the customers’ requirements. Since the early nineties it is the only main dealer of JCB company vehicles and authorized service station and workshop. Currently in Gujarat, Jitendra and Yantra are two more dealers in existence. In JCB Amin Equipments approximately 35000/- units of various vehicles are sold annually. 

The students really learned and enjoyed the visit as so many doubts related to special purpose vehicles have been cleared after the visit. It was an enriching experience for them. Here is the glimpse of the visit:
