Student Groups

Association of Mechanical Engineering (AME)

The association of mechanical engineering (AME) at IIT Kanpur is a student body. It routinely organizes workshops on various design and simulation software like Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor, Abaqus, MSC Adams, etc, which provides much needed exposure to the real life engineering problems, both technical as well as managerial kind by organizing industrial tours visits, lectures on topics of general interests and seminars of specific interest etc.

Besides this, it also organizes fresher's welcome, farewell for the graduating students and happy hours throughout the year. It also serves as an interface between the students and the faculty and strives for improvement in student-faculty interaction. For more information, visit here.

Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)

The Society of Automotive Engineers at IIT Kanpur is a collegiate chapter of SAE India. It was established in January 2011 by the collective efforts of a group of students with a strong urge to complement the theoretical knowledge imparted in classrooms, emphasizing on the practical aspects of engineering. Their idea was to develop an automotive culture revolutionized the institute and SAE IIT Kanpur started with an initial strength of over 150 student members.

One of the most important qualities of SAE IIT Kanpur is its diversity with students from almost all departments of the institute. Any passionate student of the institute can be a participating member of this society. It provides a platform for students to share and increase their engineering know-how through increased interaction between students at all levels via group activity, lectures, workshops, brainstorming sessions and many institute level competitions.

Activities

The department is involved in several other activities that include holding regular seminars, short-term courses, workshops and conferences.

Apart from that, the faculties also actively participate in the scholarly activities such as development of online courses (NPTEL, MOOC, etc.) and by publishing of books and monographs. We maintain a dynamic and creative environment that fosters continuous academic growth.
