SRM Engineering College, SRM University
4th October 2006,
 

Students of our college participate in a numerous Intra-College as well Inter-College contests. Right since the establishment of SAE Club in SRM Engineering College, there always have been overwhelming responses from the students. Students not only have participated in various contests within and outside college but also have created news.
The SAE Collegiate Club of SRM University conducted an Intra- School Toy Car Fabrication contest on the 4th of October. This contest was conducted as a part of our drive to bring in enthusiasm among the new entrants of SAE and also to motivate them. It was open to the second year students of Mechanical Engineering streams.
The fabricated cars were subjected to a road test on a ramp specially designed .Each car had to climb down an inclination of 30°, subsequently pass two bumpers of 1.5 cms height and then climb a ramp of varying inclination ranging from 15° to 50°. This road test of the fabricated vehicles served the purpose of testing the conceptual, practical and the intellectual capabilities of the students when it comes to finding solutions to real life problems. To judge this event, we had Mr. Shanmugham, Treasurer, SAE Southern Section, Mr. R. Rajendran, Students' Board Vice- Chair, SAE Southern section and Prof. L.R. Ganapathy Subramanian, School of Mechanical Engineering, SRM Engineering College.

A fun filled contest that saw not many cars climbing the ramp, until Satya Prakash Gautam and his teammates broke the ice with their car climbing up to 40°. Sonal and his teammates' car created a record among all the competitors by climbing the ramp of inclination up to  50°. Synchronization of four motors on

4th October remained a memorable day in the hearts of many SAE members; a day filled with fun, enjoyment and of course disappointment too, for a few teams. In all, it was an enlightened day which made us prove that SAE is truly a student's body that strives to enhance the knowledge base of its members.

Apart from this Intra School Competition, Wheelspin'06, SRM's SAE Collegiate Club had also participated in the recent SAE Students' Convention held in Crescent Engineering College on the 18th of September. This Students' convention was presided over by SAE International President, Mr. Greg Henderson. Among the dignitaries who graced
