Introduction:
One of the most pressing issues facing industry today is the decline in student employability coming out of Engineering and technology programs. This decline and its impact threaten the ability to meet future workforce demands. KIIT Automotive Society is actively addressing this issue with programs that bring technology and science to life and sow the seeds of endless possibilities for student of the KIIT University, which will help to inspire the next generation of innovators.

KIIT Automotive Society (KAS) started on year 2009 in the month of July, to give our student an active learning platform where they can applied there technical knowledge which they have accrued through their regular course work. Beside the society also give them an opportunity to engage themselves in a constructive way in off academic hours and holidays. Students also have responded overwhelming to this idea and now many of the students of our university are member of this society. We have also formally registered ourselves under SAEINDIA by formation of SAEINDIAKIIT Collegiate club KIIT University, Bhubaneswar for Academic year 2011-2012.

2. Innovative Projects:
To encourage out of box thinking among the students they are given a chance to come up with new project ideas. They are now doing many innovative projects under the society banner some of them are given below:

Going on Project :
Electric Vehicle (EV) which will be subsequently converted to solar power vehicle. Students are making an Electric Vehicle which will be used for indoor campus transportation. KIIT AUTOMOTIVE SOCIETY (KAS) 25 member had decided to make a 3-Wheeler car which will have the capacity of two people, along with a huge goods carriage capacity.

277 kg

Manufacturing cost: - It will cost near about 70,000/They have already started fabrication and assembly of a one seated to make EV-vehicle.

B. Hydrogen powered two-wheeler which will be subsequently converted into petrol-hybrid. KIIT AUTOMOTIVE SOCIETY (KAS) 23 member are try to run TVs Scooty pep+ on water (HHO). It is being done in order to test the viability of running an engine on Browns gas versus running an engine on gasoline. Design is feasible to assist the fuel economy of Scooty is determine and calculated by students. 18 experiments are successfully done... (Electrolysis, hydrolysis Speed, efficiency Generator etc)

TECHNICAL DETAILS: -

ENGINE: Type: 4 stroke single cylinder forced air-cooled Bore and stroke: (mm)51 and 45 Displacement (cc)89.8 Max. Power: 3.68kw (5 bhp) @ 6500rpm Torque (Nm):5.8 @ 4000 rpm DRIVE: Clutch Pivoted clutch centrifugally operated Drive Automatic CVT with torque sensor ELECTRICALS: Ignition system Digital: DC CDI Headlamp: 12V, 35 / 35 W Tail Lamp: 12V, 21 / 5 W Turn signal lamp: 12V, 10 W Battery: 12V, 5 Ah and 24V, 5Ah

Mass production of Hydrogen

Running a vehicle on (HHO) hydrogen is cheaper, more ecologically friendly and is a much more plentiful resource than fossil fuel (gasoline).

C. Hybrid car (Electric-Hydrogen)

KIIT AUTOMOTIVE SOCIETY (KAS) 26 members are engaged to build a car which run on electric power as well as on Hydrogen (HHO). According to this hybrid, Hydrogen (HHO) Browns gas versus running an engine on gasoline and Electric Power will be generated. This electric power is used to run A.C. motor and charge the batteries. Calculation and Experiment is continuing in progressive path. Innovation part in this project is the use of Electronic Catalytic Convertor.

Future project:

A. Two motor go carts B. Flying Car

3. Racing Competitions:
KIIT Automotive Society encouraging (KAS) student members to participate in SAE sponsored national and international level competitions. This year, one of (KAS) team had made it to final list of BAJASAEINDIA2012.They have already started fabrication and assembly of a one seated off road vehicle for the event to be held in pithampura, Indore during month of February 2012.

Now we have already finalized a team to participate in SUPRA (SAEINDIA). Beside this we are also planning to enter in to some international competitions in near future.

This competition provides them a good opportunity to test their technical skills in real professional working environment and helps to improve their all-round personality. These experiences will definitely help them to be industry ready.

4. Activities under taken:

A. Guest Lectures
Our society had also arranged many guest lectures; the speakers are drawn from industries, research organizations and academics having expertise in field of automotive engineering. Some notable among them are
