BAJA and SUPRA

1) Formula Bharat:

Formula Bharat is the premier engineering competition in India where students from various technical disciplines come together to design, build, and race formula-style cars. Organized annually, this competition provides a platform for aspiring engineers to showcase their innovation, technical prowess, and teamwork skills.

Teams participating in Formula Bharat undertake a comprehensive design and manufacturing process, from conceptualization to fabrication, to create high-performance racing vehicles. These cars are then put through a series of rigorous tests and dynamic events, including acceleration, skid pad, autocross, endurance, and fuel efficiency challenges.

Beyond the technical aspects, Formula Bharat fosters an environment of collaboration, learning, and professional development. Participants gain hands-on experience in project management, problem-solving, and communication while interacting with industry experts, sponsors, and fellow enthusiasts.

2) SUPRA

SUPRA, which stands for Student Formula Car Racing, is an electrifying engineering competition that energizes the automotive landscape in India. Aspiring engineers from universities and colleges across the country converge to design, fabricate, and race their own formula-style cars.

The SUPRA competition challenges participants to unleash their creativity and technical acumen to develop cutting-edge racing machines capable of tackling various dynamic events. From acceleration and braking tests to endurance races, teams navigate a demanding series of trials that push the limits of their vehicles and their ingenuity.

But SUPRA is more than just a race; it’s a journey of innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. Teams immerse themselves in the entire lifecycle of automotive engineering, from conceptual design to real-world testing. Along the way, they hone their skills in teamwork, project management, and problem-solving, laying the groundwork for successful careers in the automotive industry.

Moreover, SUPRA serves as a platform for industry engagement, fostering connections between students, professionals, and leading organizations in the automotive sector. Through sponsorships, mentorship programs, and networking opportunities, participants gain invaluable insights and experiences that shape their future endeavors.

Our Commitment to Student Innovation: Supporting Drone Development

At PVG’s COET, we are dedicated to nurturing the innovative potential of our students by providing robust support and resources for their projects. We take immense pride in our drone development team, which has demonstrated remarkable skill and creativity in preparing for national competitions such as SAE INDIA’s AEROTHON.

Understanding the financial demands of cutting-edge technological projects, we initially provided the team with a grant of ₹60,000, in A.Y.2022-23. This funding was crucial for acquiring essential, high-cost components such as advanced sensors and precision flight controllers, which are integral to the drone’s sophisticated performance. As the project progressed, and to ensure our team remained at the forefront of technological advancements, we allocated an additional ₹57,000, in A.Y.2023-24. This continued support reflects our commitment to fostering practical skills and enabling our students to bring their innovative ideas to fruition.

Moreover, recognizing the importance of competitive exposure in enhancing technical expertise and confidence, we also took on the responsibility of covering the registration fees for both Aerothon’23 and Aerothon’24. This not only supports our students financially but also motivates them to focus entirely on their technical development without the burden of extra costs.

Our support for the drone project underscores our institution’s dedication to promoting hands-on learning experiences and supporting our students’ journeys toward achieving national recognition in technology and innovation. We are committed to investing in our future leaders and pioneers, ensuring they have the tools and resources to succeed.

As an individual member-driven society of mobility practitioners, the ownership of SAEINDIA wrests with its members who are Individuals from the mobility community, which includes Engineers Executives from Industry, Government Officials, Academics and Students.

SAEINDIA AEROTHON – UNCREWED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM (UAS) DESIGN, BUILD AND FLY CONTEST. The system requirements are developed to align with real-world Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) requirements and provide a healthy competition among teams.

SAE Aerospace Forum is organizing AeroTHON 2024 which will be the 4^th edition of the competition for students. The primary focus of the competition will be on developing design, build and piloting skills of Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) to prepare them industry ready for the emerging market. As part of AeroTHON 2024, students undertake a full design and build cycle of an Uncrewed aerial vehicle meeting specific mission requirements, culminating in a final fly-off event.

The contest is planned in two phases: –

1. a) Phase – 1: Design Report & Oral Presentation
2. b) Phase – 2: Flying Competition.

The teams must submit a design report of their UAV in Phase – 1, adhere to the contest design rules and guidelines and make a presentation to the jury. The top 20 teams from the phase – 1 will qualify for the phase – 2 of the contest which requires the teams to build an Uncrewed Aircraft System and successfully complete a payload drop mission during the flying competition. Top 3 teams will be selected as the winners of this contest. Universities/Institutions can nominate any number of teams as long as they meet the team formation requirements listed in this document.

 

Aim:

To provide a real-life engineering exercise to undergraduate and graduate engineering students. The contest has been designed to expose the students to the real-life work environment of engineers in the industry.

In this contest, students will perform trade studies and make decisions to arrive at a design solution that will meet the mission requirements and conform to the defined configuration limitation and build a flightworthy UAV.

In a nutshell, AeroTHON provides an opportunity for the students to experience the complete design and build cycle of a UAV that meets the specified mission requirements and a flight demonstration in the flying event.

 

 

Objective:

• To inculcate innovation mindset among the student community in emerging technologies like Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV).
