Society of Automotive Engineers India

Introduction to SAE INDIA

SAEINDIA is India’s leading resource for mobility technology. As an individual member driven society of mobility practitioners the ownership of SAEINDIA wrests with its members who are Individuals from the mobility community, which includes Engineers Executives from Industry, Government Officials, Academics and Students

SAEINDIA is an affiliate society of SAE International registered in India as an Indian nonprofit engineering and scientific society dedicated to the advancement of mobility industry in India.

The officers in Section Governing Boards, Operating Boards and Committees share the onus of its efficient functioning here. All efforts are on now with a single-minded purpose to propel the automotive engineering profession by focusing on three trends occurring in the automotive industry today that affect all automotive engineers and engineering societies.

The first of these trends is simultaneous engineering the integration of the roles of design engineer, manufacturing engineer, supplier, marketer, and planner. The second trend is the increased reliance of auto manufacturers on suppliers and design houses to support the design and manufacturing functions. A third factor crucial to an internationalized auto industry is standards as communication, as a basis for regulation, and as an aid to interchangeability.

Global standards have become a necessity, and the responsibility for developing them falls on internationally recognized standards-writing groups and, ultimately, on the individual engineers who participate in standards work.

During its hundred plus years, the automotive industry has achieved remarkable progress in both production output and technological development. However, associated with this progress has been a slight yet noticeable lag in the level of technological development as compared to the increase in production volume.

Principle of SAE

The founding principle of the SAE International is to unite scientific and technical staff to perform free academic discussions, to dedicate themselves to the cause of prospering the science and technology for automotive vehicles and to make contributions to speed up the modernization of automotive industry.

SAE India Collegiate Club at Chitkara University, Punjab

Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is an International Society having headquarters in the USA. It has more than 121,000 members, which includes – engineers, business executives, educators, and students from more than 97 countries – who share information and exchange ideas for advancing the engineering of mobility systems. SAE is one-stop resource for standards development, events, and technical information and expertise used in designing, building, maintaining, and operating self-propelled vehicles for use on land or sea, in air or space. SAEINDIA is an affiliate society of SAE International. It has 190 collegiate clubs in India with 22,500 student members (as on April 6’2010).

It has got five sections namely Northern India Section, Eastern India Section, Western India Section, Bangalore Section and Southern India Section.

The SAE Collegiate Club, Northern India Section at Chitkara Institute of Engineering and Technology, was inaugurated on March 20 in 2006

The Chief Guest for the Inauguration program was Mr A. D. Sindwani, Consultant, Northern India Section, SAE International. An important highlight of the programme was a technical talk by Mr Ajit Singh from Maruti Udyog Ltd. The SAE Collegiate Club in the college started with 52 student members and the number has touched 400 in 2012. Presently we have 150 students registered with SAEINDIA(2013-2014)

Objectives:

• To enhance the knowledge base of student members about recent trends in the engineering of mobility systems
• To benefit its student members and faculty with knowledge of the latest advancements in technology in the field of automobiles
• To provide to its members access to SAE International programs and services globally enabling them to practice world class standard in productivity and quality
• To provide a forum for members to informally exchange views and ideas

Faculty Advisor:

Activities

A break-time event ‘TECHNO FREAKS’ was organized by SAE Collegiate Club, Chitkara University on January 30, 2013. This event focused on the inter-branch perspectives of Engineering using insights to conceive, model and scale a solution to a problem. Different sets of technical Assertion-Reason type questions focusing on solving the practical problems in engineering were framed, which includes all the branches viz. Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics and Communication Engineering and Electrical Engineering. They were designed to test the basic knowledge of the students about the basic laws and principles dealing with each branch. The top three students were selected and rewarded.

‘ICARUS and AIRSPRINT’ was organised during the National-level Tech Fest, Praudiyogikii’13, at Chitkara University, Punjab, on February 22 and 23 in 2013. There were around 22 teams participating with students from all over the country .The event was a great success, and the winners were awarded Rs 15000/- cash for clinching the first position and Rs 5000/- for grabbing the second position.
