and systems that move in land, sea, air and space. It is an affiliate society of SAE

International which is head quartered in USA and has a glorious record of over 100 years

of service to the mobility community.

SAEINDIA works closely with other fraternal societies such as Society of Indian

Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), Automotive Component Manufacturers of India

(ACMA) and American Society of Engineers of Indian Origin (ASEI) for spreading

knowledge and relevant information to a wider cross section of the Indian community. It

is also a member of International Federation of Automotive Engineering Societies

(FISITA).

SAE Saintgits Collegiate Club imparts a framework to the creativity and scientific thrust of

students by providing avenues to students to solve engineering problems of real nature,

learn to manage projects in a collaborative environment and keep themselves abreast

with the latest in mobility engineering. It also helps them become more ready to work in

the industry as committed collegiate club members may develop personal and

professional attributes that may be valued by potential employers.

We have active teams in SAE Formula, SAE BAJA and SAE Efficycle, were the students

have to design, validate and manufacture automobiles of given specification.

International Collaboration

“Engineering Design of Products for the Developing World”

(E/ME105)

A Collaboration Between

Mechanical Department of SAINTGITS College of Engineering [SCE]

The California Institute of Technology [CALTECH] &

Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA, USA

Fall, Winter Quarters 2012-2013

The class teaches product design methodologies informed by the

special circumstances of the customers. Technologies are often indigenous

or local and not “high tech”. Issues of sustainability in the business sense as

well as the engineering sense are included, as are cultural concerns. We

particularly emphasize ultra-low cost manufacturing as well as ergonomic

design. Prototyping is an important part of the course with the second

quarter devoted to building and testing engineering prototypes in India. The

class is characterized by mixed international teams in collaboration with

SAINTGITS in Kerala, India. All lectures are teleconferenced between both

locations. To further broaden the experience, students from Art Center

College of Design also participate. Some students will go on a pre-trip to

India in early September to meet their future teammates and perform

research on peoples' needs, choosing potential issues to address when the

class commences, though this is not a requirement. Instructor: Pickar.

Other two instructors for E/ME105 are Dr.Jason Cherian Issac &

Asst. Professor Vinay Mathew John from Mechanical Engineering

department of Saintgits College of Engineering.

Each year the best team will be awarded 1000$.

Seven international teams have been formed for the Collaborative

Programme 2012-2013. To make the efforts more effective, one mentor



each is assigned to each group.They all have experience either with the

class or in development activities or both. Hasit and Bhaskar are in India,

Ishwari is in New York City, Michelle now is in Shanghai, Rudy and John are

in California.

Screw Pine Weaving

Currently, worldwide demand is increasing for mats made from

dried screw pine leaves. However, artisans in Kerala, the leading exporter of

these mats, are increasingly reluctant to enter the profession due to the

tedium and physical strain imposed during the weaving process, resulting in

a decreasing supply of mats and other handicrafts. In particular, women

must sit in contorted positions and hold strands of leaf with their toes as

they weave. We aim to develop a cheap, easy-to-use device that both

facilitates the weaving process for the workers and expedites the production

of mats to meet market demand.

Rice Sowing

Kerala is in great need of increasing its rice production as it

currently produces less than one-fifth of its requirement and imports 84 %

of the consumed food grain from neighboring states. With the current

method of rice sowing, about half the seeds are wasted. Our goal was to

develop and market a suitable device that will help the paddy farmers to

efficiently sow uniformly so that they can reduce the huge losses suffered

due to manual sowing and labor scarcity, with a secondary focus of making

the task less strenuous for the farmers.

Team Medic In Indian hospitals and nursing homes, the process of transferring

an injured or bedridden patient between bed, stretcher, and wheelchair is

currently inconvenient, uncomfortable and unsafe for everyone involved.

The patient must be lifted from the bed by several nurses who then place

them on the stretcher or wheelchair. This can result in additional pain or

injury to the patient and difficulties for the nurses. Our goal is to create a

device to alleviate these problems.



Biogas The development of biogas technology as an alternative energy

source is becoming increasingly important in India. Biogas is a fuel produced from the decomposition of organic waste, like food and manure. Team Biopower is aiming to make developments on individual biogas tanks, which are especially beneficial for families in rural areas where organic waste is plentiful and fuel costs are rising. The primary objective is to make the tank more popular for consumers by addressing complaints of cost, efficiency, and need for daily use. Our design is a compact floating-drum tank with additional features that should address the issues above.

Rubber mats are frequently found throughout India including

households, shops, and factories. Most of these rubber mats have holes for

proper drainage; however, the suppliers of these mats can't cut these holes

reliably. Thus they ship mats to workshops where workers manually punch

holes before selling the mats back. The workers, mostly women, punch out

each hole using a chisel and hammer. Though they are efficient, this method

still causes significant strain on their backs and arms. Our product will punch

out multiple holes at once, making the process faster and more accurate

while reducing the physical strain on workers.

Problems with dust in the workplace are faced by many different

types of workers in and out of Kerala, India as well as other developing

countries. The inhalation of wood particles, metal particles, tiny pieces of

rubber, and other particulate matter is a significant source of discomfort to

the workers, and in addition creates future health problems. While masks

intended to prevent the inhalation of particulate matter are generally

available, current masks are not only ineffective but uncomfortable, and

they do not facilitate conversation. Our goal is to engineer a product that

addresses these concerns in the most cost efficient manner.

Machine for Differently Abled Mobil ity

(Wheelchair?)

There are almost half a million people in Kerala living with mobility-

related disabilities. Many would benefit from assistive technology, such as

wheelchairs, to help achieve independence in their day-to-day lives.

However, currently available products are not only poorly designed but

often prohibitively expensive, forcing some individuals and their families to

save for months or simply go without the technology they desperately need.

Working with a former E/ME105 group, we have developed a wheelchair

that is intended to meet the specific needs of Keralites with respect to

comfort, durability, and functionality, while remaining affordable to those

who need it most.
