ISTE Student Chapter Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon organized a visit to“12th International Railway Equipment Exhibition (IREE-2017)” conducted by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in association with Ministry of Railways at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi on 13th October 2017. Dr. Vaishali Dixit (Associate Professor, Applied Sciences & Humanities) along with 52 students from Mechanical and Civil Departments visited the IREE-2017.
The main objective behind the visit was to make students aware about how a locomotive works, the basic components of a locomotive are, and how it is manufactured.
During the exhibition, the students were demonstrated newly advanced technologies which will be implemented soon in the Indian Railway Services. After the basic introduction, all the students were divided into small groups to explore more. The students were advised to seek knowledge and clear their doubts then and there on anything they saw. Two of the students, Pradumn Kumar Tiwari (ME, Roll No.-20339)and Jagirit (ME, Roll No.-20329) were rewarded on the basis of their understandings.
Students learnt about how an individual component of a Locomotive plays an important role to run Indian railway and the way they are manufactured with high strength and durability.
It was a wonderful experience. Students got a real opportunity to enhance their theoretical knowledge by practical implication.
