The Department of Mechanical Engineering arranged a full day industrial trip to HUBCO Plant for the students of semester VIII students enrolled in an elective Power Plants course on Wednesday, June 22, 2022. Under the supervision of Engr. Safa Sattar, the students visited HUBCO Plant where they observed the operations of Boiler, pump, condenser, steam turbine, heat exchangers and generators. Students also experienced the importance of working safely in a plant. They were able to identify the input and output of Rankine Cycle and understand the concept of thermal Rankine cycle performance. Heavy Feed water pumps hydraulic mechanism and speed regulation control were also observed. The plant visit was followed by the Q&A session where students’ queries were answered by the head of the Plan.

The trip was a great learning opportunity for students as it helped students relate many concepts studied in the classroom with real-life settings.

With immense excitement we are happy to announce that approximately 65 students appeared for the recruitment drive for Vectracom Private Limited. It was a drive for the placements and internships for the students of last semester and other semesters respectively. We are delighted to let you know that this recruitment drive was a big success as the turn over for the drive was huge. Where we expected approximately 20 students, thrice the number of expected participants participated. About 10% participation was given from Management Sciences Department, 20% participation was from the Electrical Engineering Department, 30% participation was given by the Software Engineering Department whereas 40% participation was contributed by the Computer Sciences Department. Kudos to the CS&CR Department of DSU, the students who participated and the faculty who invested their precious time and energy to make this event a big success for the department.
