KLRCET initiated Skill Development Cell (SDC) in 2019, serves as a pivotal platform aimed at addressing the prevalent gap between theoretical knowledge and practical proficiency among engineers. Recognizing the need for a more holistic approach to engineering education, the SDC orchestrates a series of comprehensive training sessions designed to enhance the hands-on skills of aspiring engineers.
Objectives of the Skill Development Cell:
⦁ Confidence Building and Practical Expertise: The primary objective of the SDC is to instil confidence in engineers by providing them with opportunities to apply theoretical concepts in a practical setting. Through hands-on training sessions, participants gain valuable experience in dismantling and assembling appliances, bridging the divide between textbook knowledge and real-world applications.
⦁ Understanding the Engineering Behind Appliances: Beyond the surface-level understanding of appliances, the SDC delves into the intricate engineering principles that govern their functionality. By exploring the inner workings of various devices, engineers develop a profound comprehension of the underlying mechanisms, fostering a deeper appreciation for the engineering intricacies involved.
⦁ Forward-Thinking and Re-Engineering: The SDC encourages forward-thinking among engineers by challenging them to explore possibilities for re-engineering existing appliances. Through meticulous research and innovative problem-solving, participants learn to envision improvements and optimizations in appliance design. This forward-thinking approach contributes to the evolution of engineering practices and fosters a mindset of continuous improvement.
⦁ Mapping Academic Knowledge to Real-Time Engineering: The SDC acts as a bridge between academic learning and real-time engineering challenges. It facilitates the practical application of theoretical concepts learned in classrooms, ensuring that engineers can seamlessly translate their academic knowledge into actionable skills. This alignment enhances the practical relevance of their education and prepares them for the demands of the professional engineering landscape.
Key Components of Skill Development Sessions:
⦁ Practical Workshops: Hands-on workshops form the core of SDC activities, allowing engineers to gain practical experience in dismantling, assembling, and troubleshooting appliances. These workshops cover a spectrum of devices, providing a diverse learning experience.
⦁ Industry Experts and Guest Lectures: The SDC invites seasoned professionals and industry experts to share their insights and experiences. These guest lectures offer valuable perspectives on real-world engineering challenges, inspiring participants to apply their knowledge in innovative ways.
⦁ Research Projects: Participants engage in research projects that encourage them to explore new avenues in appliance engineering. These projects may involve re-engineering existing devices, developing prototypes, or proposing novel solutions to industry-specific challenges.
⦁ Skill Assessment and Feedback: Regular assessments and feedback sessions are conducted to evaluate the progress of participants. This iterative feedback loop ensures continuous improvement and helps participants refine their skills based on real-time insights.
