Association of Mechanical Engineers

Paper Presentation
Introduction

Being an engineer, we need to asses; various situations and come out with a suitable solution to the problem
and in some cases need to come out with innovative ideas to deal with the situation at hand. Innovation can
only be accomplished by strong foundation of core principles and extensive understanding of the
applications of these principles to the impending problem. Innovation can be achieved by research. The
main aim of the technical paper presentation is to showcase our research to an audience of like minded
people.

At VIGNITE 2010

Here in this event, our central idea is to encourage engineers to come up with topics on which they are
working or had worked and showcase them to a wide variety of audience. Here we strive to provide an ideal
platform to students to exhibit their concepts and ideas to others and healthy interactions and constructive
discussions.

What are we looking for ??

We looking for papers on various topics related and within the confines of curriculum of mechanical
engineering. Be it the ancient laws of levers or the hot shot concepts of robotics, automation and control or
even the nascent fields of fabrication of nano materials and green technologies. You worked on a related
concept or have some really interesting ideas then we invite you to send your paper and we are looking
forward for your participation.
