To facilitate research, the Centre is equipped with a computerized hybrid engine test rig coupled with eddy current dynamometer, 11 workstations and licensed software(s). To dispatch knowledge and deliver training, the Centre has an array of modules ranges from fundamental of automotive electronics and electricals to CAN/LIN/MOST bus trainer, fuel cell trainer, 48V On-board network, battery disconnect unit, interlock unit to name a few. The transition from ICE to HEV is best understood if the student has the knowledge of the existing components of a conventional automobile. On this subject, the Centre also has a cut-section of AUDI Q5, four fault monitoring modules for 4-cylinder MPFI and CRDI, two-wheeler paint booth, wheel aligner, tyre changer and wheel balancer amongst others.
The inauguration function was followed by a conclave on e-mobility technologies titled, ‘MobilityX 1.0’. The event was attended by 300+ students from various departments. The conclave began with a keynote presentation, by Dr. Shankar Venugopal, on the essential presence of an industrial as well as an academic mentor for the overall development of a student and his/her career. Following the presentation, the chief guest and the guests of honour engaged with the students.
The key takes from the panel discussion were that a student needs to have a strong base in sciences which could enable them to expand their core engineering knowledge in other disciplines of engineering as the market now need students with depth as well as breadth of knowledge, student need to hone his/her design thinking skills and enhance creativity (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving ‘TRIZ’), planning for the future helps to focus your time and energy but does not guarantee success, nevertheless the effort alone would doors and instil an ability in you to pick the best one, every upcoming technology (eg. ADAS) is trained in a predictable environment and may possibly find usage in applications other than for which it was being developed and the development of a product always depends upon the needs and wants of the customer.
