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.
