Based Learning Composite Fabrication Using Natural Fibres
The Department of Aeronautical Engineering successfully implemented an activity-based learning initiative focusing on composite fabrication using natural fibres during the academic year 2023-24 for VI semester students. This outcome-based activity aimed to enhance practical skills and understanding of composite materials, specifically leveraging the sustainable advantages of natural fibres in fabrication processes.
The workshop included hands-on sessions where students engaged in the entire fabrication process, from material selection to the final product assembly. They employed techniques such as the hand layup process, which allowed them to appreciate the intricacies and benefits of using natural fibres in composite structures. This method not only provided practical experience but also emphasized the importance of sustainable practices in aeronautical engineering.
Through this activity, students gained valuable insights into the mechanical properties and potential applications of natural fibre composites. The learning outcomes were aligned with the department's goal of equipping students with relevant skills and knowledge to meet industry demands and promote innovation in the field of aeronautical engineering.
