department of Physics organized one day educational trip to CSIO labs,
Chandigarh. The incharges of this trip were Mrs. Saloni Sharma and Mr. Sushil
Kumar escorted 32 students of B.Sc (Sem II and IV) to CSIO labs with the
purpose to inspire the students to think out of box and have insight of the
research work underlying the development of technology. The students were
guided by the scholars of the institution to various labs. Mechatronics lab
instructor explained the importance of a programming based device over
exhausting computer work. The scholars explained the combination of mechanics
and electronics to create a booming mechatronics. A large computer programme
was designed by the scholars to reduce labor and cost using basics of C+, C++
languages. The working of Pick and place robot and Mig welding robot were
explained to the students. Mechanical and Advanced manufacturing lab consists
of different instruments to check the perfectness of shapes of surfaces like
roundness, flatness, inclination etc. The Working model of different section of
a factory like manufacturing unit, testing and packaging and storage units were
also demonstrated to the students. Moreover, the details of flight simulator
were explained about how pilots of fighter planes target their rival for
attack. Students also visited food testing and adulteration lab, Nanotechnology
lab, agrionics lab, microbiology lab. They were also explained various projects
being undertaken by the scientists in these labs. The students were informed
about the scope of these fields. The students were guided and motivated by the
scientists in these labs to enroll themselves for summer internship, projects
and Ph.D programmes in their institute. Queries of the students were cleared by
the scholars. The trip was very informative. Along with this, students enjoyed
at Sukhna lake and Sector 17, Chandigarh. The trip was beneficial to plant the
seed of research work amongst the students in order to increase utility of
science and make it accessible to everyone. Madam Principal congratulated the Department
