Innovative Labs

The lab provides a platform for students having interest in the field of Robotics and Embedded Systems. Major projects in the lab are related to the Machine Learning in Robotics space and Internet of Thing(IoT) in Embedded Systems. Through these projects students get to experience the depth of technologies. Students in here learn how to program a micro-controller, design a robot using many equipment’s which are at the disposal of propel lab. The students pass on the knowledge gained by working in the lab to their juniors by conducting workshops and competitions. Lab also facilitates academic and funded projects.

Lab is supported by many industries and organizations like, ARM Ltd, Mediatek Labs, Nuetech Solar Systems Pvt. Ltd., ALS, and IIT – Bombay. At present we have 3 patents pending, 1 copyright, 7 international and 6 national publications. We have also received more than 10 awards from prestigious organizations like TCS, ARM, TI, IITB, and ONGC. We have youtube channel: Experiments@BMSCE.

Background:

In June 2014, our state-of-the-art 3D Printing Lab was inaugurated. The event was graced by esteemed figures including Dr. B. S. Ragini Narayan, Donor Trustee of BMSET, Dr. U. Chandrashekar, Former Additional Director at GTRE Bangalore, and Sri M. Krishnaswamy, Retired Project Director of ISRO, along with numerous dignitaries. Since its inception, the lab has supported over 400 projects, showcasing its versatility across various automotive, architecture, aerospace, and electrical & electronics industries. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the lab leveraged IEEE grants to initiate six innovative projects to combat the virus, further exemplifying our commitment to technological advancement and societal contribution.

As a cutting-edge technology known as Additive Manufacturing, 3D printing allows users to create and manufacture designs in three dimensions with minimal or no post-processing, revolutionizing traditional manufacturing practices. With only three decades of development, this technology holds immense potential for research and innovation, and there is a growing demand for trained engineers, operators, and designers in this field.

The lab currently features a diverse array of 3D printers, including the Creality Ender3 V3 SE, Makerbot Replicator Z18, Adventure FlashForge 3, Wol3D I Maker, and X-Smart. These state-of-the-art machines enable students and researchers to explore a wide range of applications and push the boundaries of creativity in their projects.

The facility of Aerospace lab was inaugurated in the year 2012 by Dr.Roddam Narasimha and Wing Commander D P Sabarwal. Since, Aero BMSCE is participating in various National and International Aero Design competitions.

Our Aim:

• To Create Awareness about the Exciting Fields of Aviation and aerospace.
• To encourage UG Students to take up R&D, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
• To provide the opportunity for students to use their learning to solve complex engineering challenges, through projects and competitions.
