Dr.M.Kannan, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Francis Xavier Engineering College, Tirunelveli briefed about the Design Hackathon to the students. The theme for the design hackathon was “Motorized Temple Bell”. The participants were asked to use solid works software. The participants had discussion with their team members to form an idea and then they started their task. The participants enthusiastically tried many versions. It was interesting to watch the discussions they had and the preparatory work they did for making the Motorised Temple Bell. In fact the Motorized Temple Bell is the new innovative concept it is not available in any temple at present. The best prototype will be sent to for patent after fine tuning the same.
