What is this workshop about?
"The Indian automotive industry has emerged as a 'sunrise sector' in the Indian economy" - Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce. April'13. The automotive industry in India is one of the largest automotive markets in the world. India's passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry is the sixth largest in the world, with an annual production of more than 3.9 million units in 2011. According to recent reports, India overtook Brazil and became the sixth largest passenger vehicle producer in the world.
With the automotive industry growing multi-fold every year, it is never a bad thought to think about securing a position in it. The automotive industry requires people having the knowledge of engine design and chassis design. The workshop provides the participants with the much-required exposure to the concepts of Automobile Engineering and a hands-on experience to build your own RC Car replicating most of the systems present in an actual car!
