Need of course rapid prototyping – NIT Trichy
We were studying about the importance of Rapid prototyping in this semester.
For that easy understanding of the manufacturing of 3d models in Rapid prototyping.
On receiving the permission from Principal Dr.N.Mohamed Sheriff and
Dr.C.Jeyaseelan, Head of the Department, Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Mohamed Sathak Engineering College, Kilakarai, students with two faculty members
went on to the one day course to Trichy on 26.5.2022. We all assembled at the
college on that day at 9.00 P.M. and left the college by private vehicle. We reached
the National Institute of Technology, Trichy District at 8.30 AM.
About the National Institute of Technology:
The National Institute of Technology (formerly known as Regional Engineering College)
Tiruchirappalli, situated in the heart of Tamil Nadu on the banks of the river Cauvery, was
started as a joint and co-operative venture of the Government of India and the Government
of Tamil Nadu during 1964 with a view to catering to the needs of man-power in technology
for the Country. The College has subsequently been conferred with autonomy in financial and
administrative matters to achieve rapid development. Because of this rich experience, this
institution was granted Deemed University Status with the approval of the University Grants
Commission, the All India Council for Technical Education and the Govt. of India in the year
2003 and was renamed as National Institute of Technology. NITT was registered under the
Societies Registration Act XXVII of 1975. During 2007 by the act of parliament, NIT-T became
an Institution of National Importance.
