IIT-B Radiance 2011 - Mechanical Engineering Fest

This post is being published on behalf of our Partner - Rediance IIT Bombay

An event, where different sectors of industry and academia are brought together to facilitate a pleasant and yet vibrant exchange of knowledge. At Radiance, we strongly believe that mutual dependency is a way of life and following the mathematical formula “Invention + Exploitation = Innovation”, we strive to convert invention done by our professors and students fixated to our labs into innovation by exploiting opportunities from who’s who in the industry. Consonant with that we bring you an arsenal of events that endeavors to explore every dimension and aspect of the science that we call "Mechanical Engineering”.


Radiance 2011 is powered by 3A Composites as Platinum Sponsor, MSc Software as Gold Sponsor along with ANSYS as Student support Sponsor. The festival has AUTODESK, CCTech and MBS as workshop sponsors, GEOMETRIC as IDPpartner, DARE, OVERDRIVE and ThinkDigit as Magazine partners along with PlugInCampus, BHASH, Freshersworld, CrazyEngineers, KnowAFest as Online partners.

Competitions at Radiance intend to provide an opportunity to the young researchers to reveal their creativity in the fields relevant in today's scenario.
