Contests
Department of Mechanical Engineering arranges contests throughout the year to cope with the monotony of the curriculum. Presently, MIST Campus Hour is held once a month where students participate in different cultural events and contests. Contests are arranged by the department as well as by clubs like MOTO MIST Automotive Club, under Mechanical Engineering Department. Recently, MOTOMIST held “Trash to Toy” Contest where students made toy vehicles from instruments available around them. It showcased the ability to utilize materials which many would call trash. ME Dept. also arranges many workshops, seminars, short courses where contests also take place. Recent Solidworks competition saw many students with skilled design ability blossom. There is also “Mecha Olympiad” held yearly on “Mecha Day” to recap and enjoy what the students have learned at the end of the academic year. Contests are followed by prize giving ceremony and cultural events.
