The Deepak and Maya Satwalekar Lab has been set up through the generous contribution of our Distinguished Alumnus, Mr. Deepak Satwalekar [B.Tech. (Hons)., Mechanical Engineering, 1971)]. This first-of-its-kind initiative at the Institute will train students to combat and overcome challenges found in real-world industrial setups, through a multidisciplinary course. This Lab forms an essential part of the Institute’s larger Makerspace program that envisions providing a comprehensive education to students through exposure to hands-on learning that will complement and strengthen theoretical concepts. This critical project will provide a boost to the Institute’s endeavour of revamping its entire curriculum, in line with the National Education Policy that stresses the importance of experiential-based learning.
