The August Challenge: Friendship Across Boundaries was launched by SRM University Vice Chancellor, Professor Prabir Bagchi, to ring in a new initiative to promote greater cross-cultural understanding on campus.

A number of innovative, informative and fun filled events were brought together as a collaborative venture by the on-site Taiwan Education Centre and ELS Centre at SRM University, the first in a series of planned events on diversity and integration. The program for students stressed the importance of global citizenship values, intercultural understanding and sensitivity.

SRM University is committed to promote cross-cultural understanding in a manner that permits students from different geographical regions to interact, bringing together different values, viewpoints and perspectives. Students exposed to cross-cultural understanding become more responsible citizens and are also better suited to adapt to global companies that are demanding such traits in their workforce.

Student success is at the core of any academic institution and, we at SPH believe that it is a shared responsibility. The School offers unique mentorship programme were students have the opportunity to develop a relationship with a faculty member who can become a role model and advocate for the student by offering support and counsel.

Mentoring of all sorts can greatly enhance students’ experience and assist them in actively engaging in educationally-purposeful activities which are known to improve their success. Mentoring can assist students in engaging as part of a larger community; it can strengthen their ability to recognize their skills, abilities, and interests, and assist them in thinking through and accomplishing long-term goals.

Mentoring can take several forms including career exploration and life skills development. By pairing faculty or staff members with students over the course of a school year, with scheduled meetings in a comfortable environment, the students will be given the opportunity to talk about his or her academic needs, share his or her goals, and discuss concerns and needs. The mentoring activities and support encourage academic excellence, self-esteem, and personal growth of the students.

Solar Energy Lab

The Department of Mechanical Engineering established the solar energy laboratory in August 2014. This laboratory is mainly focused to make the students to understand the basic concepts involved in solar thermal systems, i.e, Flat plate collector, concentrator and solar PV systems. This lab is primarily offered to the M.Tech Solar Energy students to undergo the lab sessions of the courses Solar thermal systems and Solar PV systems. The following are the list of equipments of the laboratory.

Solar Thermal Training System
Solar Concentrator Training System
Solar PV Training and Research System
Solar PV Grid-tied Training System
Solar PV Emulator

Solar Thermal Training System:

Solar Thermal Training system is a compact system in the form of working laboratory model. This system helps students to evaluate the performance of a Solar water heating System under different atmospheric conditions like temperature, pressure, wind, radiation etc. The experiments can be performed both in the Forced environment and also in the natural atmospheric conditions.

Solar Concentrator Training System:

Solar concentrator training system includes the parabolic trough collector to concentrate the solar energy. This system helps students to evaluate the performance of a Solar parabolic trough System under different atmospheric and design parameters with water and oil used as working fluids.

Solar PV Training and Research System:

The solar PV training system covers the fundamentals of solar PV system as well as basic research on PV system and related electronics which would be helpful to the engineering students of both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Solar PV Grid-tied Training System:

A Solar Grid-tied System is a grid connected PV system which links solar power generated by the PV modules to the mains. It acts as an interactive medium where the demand for electricity is fulfilled by the conglomeration of PV and mains. This equipment gives a deep insight into the dynamics of a Grid Tied system and its operation and maintenance.

Solar PV Emulator :

Solar PV Emulator is a programmable power supply designed to emulate solar panels. With fast transient response, the emulator responds to change in load conditions and maintains the output on IV characteristics of the selected panel for a given ambient condition. This instrument is designed to emulate output of solar panels from different manufacturers, variations due to time of the day, effect of season and different geographical locations of installation

Profile for Strength Of Materials Laboratory

Strength of materials laboratory is well equipped with destructive testing machineries. This lab course is offered in the second year for the students from various departments in the school of mechanical engineering. Students will be able to understand the theoretical concepts of solid mechanics course and enable them to apply it practically in this lab. Different types of tests are being conducted in this laboratory to know the various mechanical properties of a material such as young’s modulus, shear modulus, hardness, toughness, deflection, fatigue strength etc.

All the equipments are properly calibrated and tested by the manufacturer in a periodic manner. Final year Student’s project works on testing of various materials like composite materials, ferrous and non ferrous alloys have also been done in this laboratory. Students are also utilizing this lab for the preparation of specimen to be tested. A Unique feature of this lab is the “Universal Testing Machine (UTM)”. We have 2 UTM’s of various capacities of 40 tons & 20 tons. Both the machines are integrated with the computer. Lot of researchers from various colleges / universities are utilizing these UTM’s for their research works and extracting the results in various data formats.
