Overview

The Hackathon by the Mechanical Engineering Department is a creativity- and innovation-

driven event cantered on advanced 3D modelling and digital design using Fusion 360. This

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 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, and design optimization while integrating modern design standards, material

selection, and manufacturing considerations. The event will highlight the use of CAD tools

for simulation, stress analysis, and performance validation within a digital environment.

Through this theme of 3D modelling of mechanical parts and systems, the hackathon aims to

strengthen design thinking, technical proficiency in CAD software, problem-solving skills,

and industry-ready competencies. It also underscores the vital role of digital design and

modelling in modern mechanical engineering practice.

encourage students to develop innovative, sustainable, and technology-

driven solutions to real-world mechanical engineering challenges in areas

such as machine design, energy systems, and advanced manufacturing.

• Address Real-World Challenges – To provide a platform for

participants to ideate, design, analyze, and build solutions related to

thermal engineering, fluid mechanics, robotics, industrial automation,

HVAC systems, renewable energy technologies, and smart mechanical

systems.

• Enhance Practical and Technical Skills– To enable participants to

apply core mechanical engineering principles to practical challenges using

modern tools, CAD/CAE software, simulation techniques, advanced

manufacturing methods, and emerging technologies.

• Promote Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Solutions – To motivate

participants to design energy-efficient, environmentally responsible, and

sustainable mechanical systems aligned with green engineering practices

and global sustainability goals.

• Develop Mechanical Design, Analysis, and Problem-Solving Skills –

To strengthen analytical thinking, system modeling, optimization, and

decision-making abilities through hands-on mechanical engineering

projects under real-world industrial constraints.
