Every single mechanical engineer has to study a subject called mechanics. Some call it MOM, some call it SOM, some call it EM. But whatever you may call it, it's always there and it's always the same. This subject tells us how to decide whether our design will fail or not. And it is a very complex subject. And the bad news is, we only study this until we get familiar with the concept of Simulation. Once you start doing simulations, there is no going back. I had a glimpse of simulation very early in my college life, way before it would have according to my syllabus. And then I got myself involved in another project that made me understand simulation to a very great extend. This was the design and manufacturing of HAWT. Basically, we were trying to make a hybrid wind turbine that can produce electricity safely inside a crowded city. And the very first step included the Fluent based simulations. Actually, the first step was a literature review, but yeah you got the point. So, my s...
So, I am in my final semester, which means I have already completed seven semesters of my engineering. Thankfully, I didn't get any backlogs i.e. I have not failed in any of my subjects. Those who lost interest after knowing this fact: I have brushed passed a few backlogs! Those who don't think backlogs are cool: I have managed to maintain a respectable CGPA (7.5+).
During the three and a half years of my Engineering, I have done three internships, made a couple of projects not related to my academics, worked with two start-ups, made two cars*, and studied a total of 41 subjects. Yeah, that is how many subjects you have to study to be a mechanical engineer! And keep this in mind, I still have one more semester. And yes, I did make cars. There are two competitions named BAJA and SUPRA. We as a team of 20+ members made an ATV for BAJA and a Formula Student for SUPRA.

I did my internships at government institutes and worked with start-ups to get a glimpse of the private job. The projects I made along with my friends, well you will find most of them in this blog.
Other than this, we all did regular stuff, which every college student in India does. Of course, I will be telling you about most of the projects and competitions in this blog. So join in! Let's start this journey!
