VISIT REPORT Radiance-2013 at iit bombay (On 10th March 2013) Department of MECHANICAL engineering, VPCOE, Baramati 2012-13 As per instruction and permission granted from the honorable Principal of VPCOE Baramati; Dr. S. B. Deosarkar, department of mechanical engineering had organized one day visit at IIT Bombay to attend ‘RADIANCE-2013’. Around 14 students (6-SE, 5-TE, 3-BE) including two staff members visited to IIT Bombay on 10th March 2013. ‘RADIANCE’ is one of the famous technical event organized by mechanical engineering departments of IIT Bombay every year. Students had left the college for visit on 10th March at 4.10 am and reached to IIT campus at 9:15 am. Between 9:30 to 10:30 am students attended Lecture on 'UNLEARN TO INNOVATE' by eminent Speaker Mr. Kranthi K. Vistakula, an alumnus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA Founder and CEO of the technology venture Dhama Innovations Pvt. Ltd. During lecture students interacted with expert in the Live Classroom.

It was very nice experience to all students to observe and participate in different event RADIANCE2013. 11 am to 12 pm we attended ‘Industry Defined Problem’ (IDP) program, this was completely new concept for our students. In this IDP live industry problem is defined and participant were giving optimum solutions to that problem through presentation followed by question answer with judge. 12 pm to 1 pm we observed ‘ROBO SUMO’, in this event participants prepared their robot with given constrained specification and there match is fought between two teams. During this event our students took guidance from one of the participating team about how to prepare wireless robot. After lunch, we visited to cryogenics laboratory with oral permission of lab In-charge there; Mr. Ganesh, Ph.D student at IIT, he explained Liquid Nitrogen Cooling Plant.

This was hands-on events which contain problems involving application of basic principles of science. This was team events comprising of a maximum of three participants per team. These involve creating simple prototypes according to the given problem statement, with the help of common everyday materials such as ice cream sticks, straws, fevicol etc. The problem statement was announced on the spot and the required material was provided to all the teams.
