Dept. of Mechanical Engineering recently organized a tour cum industrial visit to Bangalore, Mysore and Coorg. 46 students participated in the tour and they were accompanied by two faculties, Mr. Hans M H and Mr. Roy Varghese. The tour bus started from AISAT at 8:00 pm on 19^th Jan 2016 Tuesday.

On 20^th morning, the group reached Wonderla Amusement Park, Bangalore. Firsmt Industrial Visit was arranged at Bangalore Wonderla, where students were able to see and understand the various hydraulic machines, power transmission drives and other mechanical equipment. Students were also able to enjoy the various rides and games set up at Wonderla.

Two Industrial Visits were conducted the following day (21^st Jan). S M Kannappa Automobiles (P) Ltd. (Bangalore) is a reputed industry specializing in building automobile bodies. The students were able to see the various processes used in building automobile bodies as well as dozens of bus bodies in their various stages of production. The materials used for building of various parts, engines and other components used and the painting procedure were explained in detail by their employees. The plant visited has a capacity to manufacture over 60 buses in a month.

Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum, Bangalore, a constituent unit of National Council of Science Museums (NCSM), Ministry of Culture, Government of India, was established in memory of Bharat Ratna Sir M Visvesvaraya. Engine Hall, How Things Work, Fun Science, Electrotechnic, Space Emerging technology in the Service of Mankind, Biotechnological Revolution, BEL hall of Electronics and Children Science gallery are some of the attractions at the Museum. The “Engine Hall” exhibits engines of various automobiles, machines used in industry, a jet aircraft engine, and other mechanical devices. The predictability and precision of mechanics is demonstrated by the rolling balls that travel endlessly within metal tracks. It is delighting to watch the balls moving over roller coaster, looping a loop and bouncing high to be caught by a basket. Principle of conservation of energy can be explained convincingly through this exhibit.Exhibits on Pulley system, Gears, different ways of transferring motion, reducing effort by levers, inclined plane, screw etc. introduces the visitors to the story of simple machines. Another section deals with the application of these simple machines in our daily life. In short, the Museum is not a ‘museum’ in its classical sense, because it has interactive exhibits unlike stationary models of a museum. It is more of a science center.

The next destination was Mysore and accommodation was arranged at The Atrium Boutique Hotel. 22^nd Jan 2016 was dedicated for sightseeing and shopping. Some of the places visited were St. Philomena’s Church, Mysore Palace, Mysore Zoo and Chamundi Temple.

A talk on entrepreneurship was conducted at AISAT seminar hall on 13/04/2016 at 3.30 pm. Prof.Dr. K. E. George, Principal, AISAT delivered the welcome address. Talk was delivered by renowned entrepreneur and speaker, Mr. Roshan Padamadan. He started his own business in 2013, setting up a global hedge fund, called Luminance Global. At that time, he had worked in Financial Services for 9 years and Information Technology Consulting for 2 years. The talk started with a quote by George Bernard Shaw, “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man”. Rev. Dr. Clement Valluvassery, Rev. Fr. John Christopher, Dr. Babu T. Jose, Dr. K. E. George, Dr. P. X. Joseph and Mr. William Padamadan were present during the talk. Students from S4 ME and S6 CE were present.

The talk was both very inspirational and informative. Incidents, mostly initial failures, in the careers of eminent personalities and entrepreneurs including Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Richard Branson inspired students. He told us that it is not how a person appears that decides if he/she is an entrepreneur. This has to do with how creative you are in your career goals.

Creativity may lead to creating new jobs, reducing time or find an efficient and less costly way of doing things. He gave us an example from the career of Richard Branson, about how he was able to save two dollars on his product by directly receiving products by post from the manufacturer. This lead to more profit. He also told how Bill gates used 86 – DOS, made by Tim Paterson to sell his BASIC interpreter to IBM. This was a very effective way to sell a product by saving a lot of money and time. Mr. Roshan Padamadan also explained to students the classic management theories with emphasize on land, labour and capital. He emphasized the role of risk in any entrepreneurship. He told us an interesting way of doubling your role (the two yous in you). For example, by serving two different roles in your organization you could save a lot of money. Then when your business becomes established and want to expand your business, you could transfer your role to another person and focuss on your new goals.

Mr. Roshan Padamadan’s talk also emphasized the need for minimum things you need, including roof over your head, initial investment, key partners etc., to start an entrepreneurship. He explained the role of failures in your career. He told us how James Dyson had 5,127 failures in his attempt to bring out a baggless vacuum cleaner. During the interactive session, Mr. Roshan Padamadan told us how to meet and unexpected risk and how to cover the losses in such a case. Mr. Roshan Padamadan also told us about the risk of keeping every aspects of business together and the difficulty in raising the capital.

Mr. Roshan Padamadan explained  that we can start a company on our own, may be a few key partners and then grow up to a firm that employ many people. He made us aware that how petty corruption could ruin new start ups. The complicated rules also could harm the business. He advised us to look for these factors and go for places where these factors are easily overcome.

He explained that why entrepreneurship is a good career goal. This is because our economy is full of transactions and opportunities. If you have eye for opportunities around you, you could bring in some reliable people and make a interesting career.

During the interactive session, Mr. Roshan Padamadan explained how self-confidence is important to being entrepreneur. He also told us that self confidence is a necessary but not sufficient factor. We need to look out of opportunities and be brave enough to face the unexpected risks. He also added that since AISAT has an entrepreneurship club, we should stream the Warren Buffet’s annual meet. This will enable students to catch up with latest in the entrepreneurship activities around the world.

Rev. Dr. Clement Valluvassery presented the memento to the speaker. Mr. Bipin Sankar, Asst. Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering presented the vote of thanks. Mr. Mohammed Anshad was the master of ceremony. After the vote of thanks event was concluded.
