The IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation has teamed up with SWAYAM Plus to introduce an innovative initiative aimed at equipping engineering students with essential technical skills tailored to the mechanical, manufacturing, and production sectors. This initiative is designed to provide a comprehensive training experience that aligns with industry standards, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the demands of the workforce.
Students interested in participating in this valuable training program should take note that the last date to submit applications is October 10. The training sessions are scheduled to take place from October 14 to October 26. Those keen on registering can do so via the official website at [iitmpravartak.org.in/digital_mfg_practice](http://iitmpravartak.org.in/digital_mfg_practice).
The program offers an immersive, hands-on training experience for a fee of ₹6,000 plus GST. Participants will also have the opportunity to stay on the IIT Madras campus, with accommodation provided at a rate of ₹650 per day, which includes meals and lodging. Students wishing to request accommodation must do so on or before the application deadline of October 10.
This training program is particularly significant as it addresses the crucial gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the field of manufacturing. Participants will have the chance to strengthen their competencies in various areas, such as simple quantification, back-of-the-envelope calculations, quick engineering drawings, and the effective use of appropriate tools. Additionally, they will gain insights into fundamental classification/taxonomy principles and develop a systems approach to planning and executing projects.
Furthermore, students who demonstrate exceptional performance throughout the program will receive placement assistance, enhancing their prospects of securing employment in the industry. The selection process for students wishing to enroll in this training program will be managed by Pravartak, ensuring that those chosen are equipped to acquire industry-relevant skills.
The training sessions will be conducted on the prestigious IIT Madras campus, providing a stimulating learning environment. The course content is extensive, encompassing hands-on practice in 3D modeling, 3D printing, Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), CNC programming, and CNC machining. Participants will also gain a thorough understanding of the various stages involved in product development, including prototyping and testing.
Through this initiative, students will acquire practical experience in fundamental manufacturing techniques, additive manufacturing processes (such as 3D printing), and essential Computer-Aided Design (CAD) skills. By bridging the gap between academic knowledge and real-world manufacturing processes, this program seeks to prepare engineering students for successful careers in the dynamic field of manufacturing.
The collaboration between IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation and SWAYAM Plus presents a remarkable opportunity for engineering students to enhance their technical capabilities, making them more competitive in the job market. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply before the deadline to take advantage of this enriching experience.
