The awareness session was able to successfully conclude with a participation amount of over 70 from both 39 and 40 intakes under 3 phases which started with a fellowship session, then the IMechE awareness, and lastly the session about the competitions in which we can participate.

Bodima Thanthree welcomed the gathering and started the session with a fellowship session. After, attendees were introduced to the IMechE club and its mission, vision, and goals. The activities done at the club, including workshops, seminars, and technical visits were discussed. These activities were aimed to help students to gather knowledge and practical experience related to mechanical engineering. Also, the insights about the future events that the club has planned to organize were briefed.

The advantages of getting a membership to IMechE were highlighted during the session. Membership offers numerous benefits to students, including access to valuable resources, networking opportunities, and exclusive events.

Vinuja Lochana, a member of the Formula Student project, briefed the attendees about the project. The Formula Student project is a student-led initiative that focuses on designing, building, and racing a single-seater race car. The project is an excellent opportunity for students to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting and gain hands-on experience in the field of mechanical engineering.

In conclusion, the IMechE awareness session conducted by Bodima Thanthree and Vinuja Lochana was a great opportunity for students interested in mechanical engineering. Attendees were able to learn about IMechE and its activities, as well as gain valuable insights into the world of mechanical engineering. The session will also provide an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and learn about the Formula Student project.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, KDU offers two bachelor’s degree programmes, namely, BScEngHons in Mechanical Engineering and BScEngHons in Mechatronic Engineering. These four-year undergraduate programmes aim to impart competencies in courses related to Design, Manufacturing, Control Systems, and Information Technology in order to produce graduates who are well equipped to become competent Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineers.The department is playing a dynamic role in the faculty. The presence of qualified panel of lecturers with a wide range of expertise, their academic background, teaching experiences, research capabilities, and industrial exposure make a significant contribution to the overall strength of the department. The department possesses well-equipped laboratories and implements its well-designed curricula in lectures and practical sessions. The department also organises industrial visits and guest lectures, providing further opportunities for the enhancement and consolidation of students’ knowledge. The student intake is expanded by admitting Officers of the Tri-Services and Day Scholars, both local and international. The department strives to maintain the highest standards of education for the Officers from the Tri-Services, Officer Cadets, and Day Scholars to be readily employable in the industry.Why choose Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering?Mechanical Engineers build the world around us. From the tiniest nanotechnology through cars and buildings to aeroplanes and space stations, mechanical engineers are responsible for the design and development of many things. Studying mechanical engineering is a combination of science, mathematics, and computing. The field of mechanical engineering touches virtually every aspect of modern life, including the human body, a highly complex machine. A career in mechanical engineering allows you to build a better future for yourself and the world. Mechanical engineers design and build solutions to a range of problems, improving efficiency across a wide range of industries. By studying mechanical engineering, students can look forward to good job prospects, high salaries, and varied work. Mechanical engineers are always in demand for jobs such as Aerospace engineers, Automotive engineers, Control and Instrumentation engineers, Maintenance engineers, Nuclear engineers, etc.Mechatronic is an emerging field that blends mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science to demonstrate the close integration of these disciplines in product design. The Mechatronic Engineering degree programme offers both theory and practical work in the areas of Automation, Control, Robotics, Engineering design, and applications. The knowledge and skills acquired will be useful to deal with the professional and career development goals of graduates in the future. The designed curriculum also offers a vast area of opportunities for future studies and research as a graduate and even beyond.
