"Prodigy", is the annual technical symposium of the Production Engineering department of the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (NIT-T). It will be held from 3rd to 6th of March, and attracts roughly 1500 students from all over the country. It has served as a platform for students to interact and learn from their peers across different institutions. Last year in the lead up to Prodigy, for the first time ever, we hosted an outreach event in Chennai and Trichy. We plan to extend our reach by conducting our outreach Paradigm in B.M.S College of Engineering, Bangalore and M.I.T Chrompet, Chennai this year! We are all really excited in presenting this edition of Prodigy, which will be the biggest and the best one till date!
Events List:
1) Design Challenge :
Unleash your engineering skills, creativity and intuition, and structure your ideas into a well-defined 3D model for the given design problems. Designing is to be done using CAD MODELLING SOFTWARES. The challenge is to design the product, keeping in mind its form and function, aesthetics and ergonomics, with an emphasis on its user friendliness. The best design wins!
2) Paper Presentation:
Been working on new ideas lately? Here's the perfect platform for you to showcase them amidst a wide range of papers on the latest innovations and review of the existing technologies.
