BMW Skill Next Automotive Learning Centre

Introduction

Last two decades have witnessed dramatic changes in the automobile design and performance. As a result, most of the cars produced have become more complex with the introduction of computer-controlled modules, they need skilled and professional personnel to service repair and maintain them. The leading car manufacturers and their chain of workshops tend to train limited number of technicians on their particular cars only. The country unfortunately, lacks organized and professionally equipped training institutions capable of imparting real time theoretical as well as practical “ON THE JOB’ education on present day modern complex cars. The result is that a student passing out with a Diploma or graduation degree in Automobile Engineering from some of the colleges finds himself in poor shape to work on the current car models from different manufacturers.

About Centre

Department of Mechanical Engineering at G L Bajaj has a fairly equipped automobile workshop with wide range of cut sections of various parts of an automobile, a BMW engine and working models of car parts. The Department is in the process of developing  and modernizing  the work shop to create a viable infrastructure with certain basic facilities including a modern MPFI car and some essential diagnostic equipment to train the aspiring students to learn and handle the complex mechanism of the cars and get in hand experience to  diagnose, rectify and service the car the way it would be done in a standard workshop. It is proposed to introduce a separate course with a duration of at least twelve weeks to impart theoretical and “on the job “training to the students to acquire adequate skill to get placements in any modern workshop at working/supervisory/managerial levels. 

As a prelude to this, The Department is organizing a three days students’ workshop to present an overview of the training module being compressed into the proposed twelve-week short course and has been able to avail professional and technical support from the following: -

BMW- 

• Advancement in Automobile Industry and the process adopted for the production of vehicles. 

• Provide technical information on the working of a BMW third generation Petrol Engine, advanced technical features for ensuring fuel efficient and environmentally safe working of their engines. 

MARUTI SUZIKI- 

• Information  on  Production Process, 

• Production Cycle  

• Relevant technology for setting up a modern automobile workshop to train the aspiring students to get in hand knowledge to repair and maintain a modern automobile including a brief narrative on the current advancement in petrol and hybrid cars. They will also extend support in establishing the Electrical Bench in the work shop to provide exposure on various electrical work, fault diagnosis and rectification. 

• Advancement in Fuel Efficiency

• Development of Hybrid and Electric Cars

EXPERTS FROM PRIVATE MULTI BRAND AUTOMOBILE WORKSHOP- 

• To provide an overview and impart theoretical knowledge on some of the major aspects in the working of a modern automobile.

• Video demonstration on functioning of the major components of a modern automobile.

• “On the Job” demonstration and working knowledge on identification of the components, process for understand and rectify likely faults encountered by a car owner. 

• For this the Department is arranging to procure a modern MPFI car to be placed in the workshop.

The three day workshop is expected to provide a platform to students of Mechanical / Automobile / Electronics & Electrical branches to take up projects in emerging areas and will encourage and motivate the students to join the proposed twelve week course to get hands on training on servicing of four wheelers with their fault diagnosis and rectification. This will also update them with the frequently changing technological advancement in the auto sector and will help them to undertake responsibilities of senior executives of any modern automobile companies or their associates. The skill gained by the students is also expected them to become self reliant and open their own workshops for financial independence.  

The Department also proposes to establish a Research Centre to promote organised work in improving efficiency of engines with improved design features of vehicle & its components as well as developing multiple alternative sources of energy.
