We were allotted a 1.5L petrol engine for its static benchmarking. We were successfully able to disassemble and derive data from these parts. In this process, we were able to learn various new technologies used in engine for its performance boost and emissions control. We got to learn some design parameters of engine parts like connecting rod, piston, and flywheel. The challenging phase of the project was to decode its various fluid routings such as VVL actuation, coolant routings & lubrication. Then we prepared the bill of materials as per company norms and coded every part as per company coding.The learning was beyond textbook and was purely practical. We were introduced to standards of benchmarking and its importance in automotive industry.

During this course of time I got a great insight of Basic Automobile Systems, IC Engines and up-gradations/innovations from past. Other modules consisted of Automobile Electronics, Sensors, Euro and Bharat Stage Emissions norms. At the end we were introduced to Vehicle Dynamics calculations and basic chassis development.

Learned Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application CATIA by Dassault Systèmes and also attended the workshop where we were skilled with basic machining process like drilling, turning, milling, grinding, CNC machining, laser engraving and finally fitting process during project completion of Hand Injection Mould We were also given a briefing about Geometric dimensioning and tolerances and Industrial Robotics.
