Students of 2nd Year Mechanical Engineering have achieved significant success in designing a prototype car for the prestigious BAJA ATV competition. The car, which has been completed within a month, roars with a 350cc engine integrated with a compact gear box and differential system. It has centralized steering with all the safety features (as per BAJA SAE rulebook), with a top class double wish bone suspension system, clocking a top speed of 60 kmph.
It is an entirely ‘homemade’ project with almost all parts being self manufactured at the workshop of School of Mechanical Engineering of KIIT University. The students completed the project under the guidance of Prof. Isham Panigrahi, Faculty Advisor and Mr. Alok Ranjan Swain. ‘Team Mechkreation’, as the students’ team is called, is led by Ajit Pandey and has Bishnu Pratap, Binesh, Subham, Amit, Arif, Rajkumar, Prateek, Bansal Raj and Rohit as members.
