At Solamalai College of Engineering, we believe in empowering our students with the skills and information they need to succeed in the ever-changing world of technology. One of our most notable initiatives is the e-Yantra Robotics Laboratory, an innovative laboratory dedicated to leveraging the talent of young engineers to tackle real-world challenges through technology. This effort, supported by the Ministry of Education and hosted at IIT Bombay, demonstrates our dedication to innovation and excellence in engineering education.

e-Yantra Robotics Outreach Program

The e-Yantra program is a nationwide robotics outreach initiative that aims to engage and inspire aspiring engineers. It focuses on addressing difficulties in a range of fields, including agriculture, manufacturing, defense, home automation, smart-city maintenance, and the service industry. By introducing robotics into various disciplines, e-Yantra hopes to address urgent issues and propel technological progress.

Establishment of e-Yantra Robotics Laboratory at Solamalai College of Engineering

On October 11, 2018, the e-Yantra Robotics Laboratory was virtually inaugurated at the VOC block of Solamalai College of Engineering. This innovative lab offers our students with the necessary equipment and resources for practical, project-based learning. The purpose is to encourage students to find real-world problems, develop new solutions, and potentially launch enterprises. We hope to inspire our students to pursue higher-level research and development abilities by creating an environment conducive to creativity and critical thinking.

Objectives of the e-Yantra Program

The e-Yantra program at Solamalai College of Engineering is driven by several key objectives:

Integrating Project-Based Learning: Our goal is to incorporate a project-based component into engineering education, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical issues. This practical approach improves their problem-solving abilities and prepares them for the challenges of the industry.

Domain-Specific Training: Students in the e-Yantra program receive domain-specific instruction, allowing them to develop real-world problem-solving skills. This specific training prepares them to solve challenging issues in a variety of technology sectors.

Creating a Sustainable Ecosystem: We are committed to building a sustainable environment that involving both students and faculty. By creating a collaborative environment, we ensure that the institution is constantly learning, innovating, and growing.
