Introduction to Engineering Design is a core, multidisciplinary course offered with an aim to ignite the young minds with concepts in design and innovation. Using the tools and skills learnt in the lab, the students participate in a project challenge to build functional prototypes in the field of intelligent buildings, automotive, and robotics which will provide solutions to real life problems. The students are supported with a seed money from the institute for this project. Without going into much complexity, multiple faculty members familiarize students with foundation into three domains; electronic design, wireless communication and robotics. The labs are structured to provide the building blocks of modern electronic gadgets where students learn and use characteristics of active and passive electronic components, solder and build their own voltage regulators PCB, solve real day to day problems while using sense-think-act paradigm to interface and program Arduino microcontroller to a variety of sensors, motors, and learn and experience real time coverage issues and wireless coding techniques.
