Overview

The Hackathon by the Mechanical Engineering Department, a creativity-organised and IIC-supported innovation-driven event, is centered on advanced 3D modelling and digital design using Fusion 360.

This dynamic event brings together students to apply core mechanical engineering principles to design, model, and virtually assemble mechanical components and systems that address real-world industrial challenges. The hackathon seamlessly blends creativity with technical expertise by encouraging participants to create precise 3D models of machine elements such as gears, shafts, couplings, engine components, mechanisms, and complete assemblies using Fusion 360.

Participants will focus on:

  • Parametric modelling

  • Assembly design

  • Motion simulation

  • Drafting

  • Design optimization

All designs will integrate modern design standards, material selection, and manufacturing considerations. The event will also highlight the use of CAD tools for simulation, stress analysis, and performance validation within a fully digital environment.

 

Through the theme of 3D modelling of mechanical parts and systems, the hackathon aims to strengthen design thinking, enhance technical proficiency in CAD software, sharpen problem-solving skills, and build industry-ready competencies. It underscores the vital role of digital design and modelling in modern mechanical engineering practice.
