Faculty Development Programmes & Workshops
One Day FDP on "Cloud-based 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE platform for product development" - Using AUTODESK FUSION 360
The department of Mechanical Engineering of MITE has organized a one day Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on "Cloud-based 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE platform for product development"in Association with “Institution’s Innovation Council”(IIC)on the 29th of August 2022. An expert team from Medini Technologies Bengaluru, demonstrated the capabilities of the software and trained the faculty on its application.
Mr. Abhinandan, Executive Director, Head of Product Design &Development of Medini technologies was the expert trainer of the sessions. Dr M S Ganesha Prasad, Principal, MITE, graced the event and delivered inaugural address and mentioned about relevance of the programme for the future Engineers. Dr. Rajashekar HOD mechanical witnessed the inaugural programme. Mr Aveen K P, Senior Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department Coordinated the sessions. The faculty members from the Departments of Mechanical, Aeronautical and Mechatronics Engineering participated in the programme.
Fusion 360 is a cloud storage feature that facilitates access to team members who are geographically spread across the globe. It combines industrial and mechanical design, simulation, collaboration, and machining into a single package. The tools in Fusion 360 enable fast and easy exploration of design ideas with an integrated concept to production toolset.

Supply chain Management Workshop || 06.05.2023 ||
Dr. Dattakumar, Head-Operations, EnhanzED Education Pvt. Ltd., Mysore
Supply Chain Management (SCM) encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities. SCM is the management of the flow of goods and services and includes all processes that transform raw materials into final products. It involves the active streamlining of a business's supply-side activities to maximize customer value and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Objectives of the workshop
1.To understand the key variables influencing supply chain performance and how they relate to strategy.
2.To impart analytical and problem-solving abilities needed to provide solutions for a range of SCM and design issues.
3.To assess the challenges faced by businesses when implementing new initiatives including e-collaboration, quick response, jointly managed inventories, and strategic alliances.

Two-day Workshop on Non-destructive Testing and Evaluation
|| 27th, 28th April 2023 ||
Mr Jeevan P.D, Training & supervisor Head and Mr. Pramith Shetty, Trainer and faculty, Government Tool room & Training Centre, Baikampady, Mangalore.
Non-traditional machining, also referred to as “non-conventional machining” or “modern machining method,” generally involves using energy from electricity, heat, light, electrochemistry, chemistry, sound, or special mechanics to remove or add materials. To meet these demands, researchers have been exploring and developing non-traditional machining (NTM), also known as non-conventional machining (NCM)
Objectives of the Workshop
1.To observe and gain good understanding of NTM.
2.To demonstrate the working of different NTM processes
3.To provide a hand-on exposure to students on CNC machining centres like HMC and VMC and Electro- Discharge 4.Machining.
5.To produce an engraving using Electro- Discharge Machining on a plate by students.

Innovative teaching accommodates diverse learners, fosters creativity and problem-solving skills, promotes lifelong learning, integrates technology, and prepares students for the challenges of the future. Teachers may create meaningful learning experiences that enable students to realize their full potential by embracing innovative teaching strategies. It encourages teachers to experiment with novel concepts, tools and teaching strategies in order to create an engaging and participatory learning environment. Innovative teaching methods stimulate curiosity, foster critical thinking and actively involve students in the learning process. By incorporating interactive activities, real-world examples, technology, and collaborative projects, educators can create an engaging and dynamic classroom environment that motivates students to learn.
Outcomes of the workshop:
Following are the outcomes
· Introduced faculty to a variety of innovative teaching strategies that can be used to improve student learning.
· Provided faculty with the opportunity to learn about the research on effective teaching and how to apply it in their own classrooms.
· It helped faculty to develop the skills and confidence they need to implement innovative teaching strategies in their own classrooms.
· Faculty members shared their ideas and supported each other in their efforts to improve student learning.
