Summer School Training on Solidworks & MATLAB
10th June - 18th July, 2019
Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurugram organized 6-week summer school on "SolidWorks and MATLAB" from 10th June - 18th July, 2019. Faculty member of ME Department Mr. Manish Kumar Mishra and Mr. Poshan Lal Sahu were the trainer of the summer school.
The main objective of the summer school was to teach students the basic commands of the SolidWorks and MATLAB software and how to use these commands in programming and designing.
Week 1:
The programme started with basic introduction on MATLAB. The uses and application of the software in different areas (industry, research etc.) was elaborated. Basic MATLAB tools, how to make and save a MATLAB file, basic command (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) were taught during the 1st week.
Week 2:
In second week basic mathematical operation on Matrices were taught. Session started with lecture on Matrix addition, subtraction of different Matrices, Inverse of Matrices, Transpose of Matrices Solving higher order Matrices, etc. After this solving differential equations were taught starting from linear differential equation then second order differential equation and higher order differential equations and different methods to solve these equations.
Week 3:
In third week plotting graphs on MATLAB was taught. Beginning from basics linear equation graph to trigonometric, logarithmic and higher order differential equation graph was explained. After this the students were given different programs to practice.
Week 4:
Week 4 started with discussion on the different software used in industry and what is the importance of these software. After discussing the basics of different software, explanation of Solidworks started. Important tools of the Software were also discussed. The whole week, student did the Part Design in which they modelled the different products (e.g. Connecting Rod, Nut Bolt, Gear).
Week 5:
The week started with presentation from the student. Later sweep command, Pattern and assembly was explained. And the whole week, faculty members taught students how to assemble the different components.
Week 6:
Student's doubts were cleared initially and then few more commands like drafting, revolving etc. were taught and practiced. At the end of the week an assessment test for both the software's was organized.
