KSCST – FPP – STI (2022-23)

In November 2021, KSCST launched a brand-new program called the “Faculty Project Program (FPP)” to aid in the development of new products and services. As part of this initiative, KSCST invited faculty members to submit project proposals, as well as project guides of projects that were recognized as the year’s best projects, committee-selected projects for further development, and prototypes for the Student Project Programme (SPP) series.

The goal of the FPP initiative is to fortify technological advancements that have the potential to spread widely through commercial and/or non-commercial channels, providing them and other participants in the value chain with tangible or intangible rewards.

The Karnataka state’s location-specific challenges were the focus of a call for project proposals from KSCST, which provides S&T intervention through technology development and demonstration. Before putting the project proposal into action, investigators must carefully map out the state’s and district’s science and technology needs. Project proposals must address the needs of Karnataka.

The Vision of the club is to motivate young minds to develop innovative solutions in Aeronautics, using the state-of-the-art workplace with access to IoT, AI, and ML facilities, promote Interdisciplinary research activities to enhance quality product development. AIRENO trains students in building RC Aircrafts, Hover pods, Drones and encourages them to participate in State and National level competitions. The students get hands-on experience of flying RC aircraft, which includes fixed-wing RC Airplanes, Quad-copters, and Hovercrafts, and in addition, get to collaborate with students from different branches and design innovative solutions. They will also learn leadership and resource management skills, as organizers. This will help them shape their career with a strong foundation of required skills and confidence to solve complex problems of society.

Coordinator: Dr. Purushotham G, Professor and Head, Department of Aeronautical Engineering.

Co-Coordinator: Mr. Adarsh Krishnamurthy, Assistant Professor, Department of Aeronautical Engineering.

Outcome:

By using the facility provided at the AIREINO club on-campus, the students have been actively participating in all the major aero events across the country including at IITs, NITs, and other premier institutes.
