CHENNAI, India - April 7, 2014 - PRLog -- CADD Centre’s National Design Competition 2014 Attracts Participation of 1,00,000 Engineering Students

The National Design Competition 2014, India’s largest design competition for engineering students, organized by CADD Centre Training Services (P) Limited, Asia’s largest network of engineering design skill training centres, had attracted the participation of about 1,00,000 engineering and polytechnic students across the country.

This month-long event, involving four different rounds, was kick-started on February 2, 2014 and culminated with a grand final on March 3, 2014. The winners of the competition were awarded a trophy and cash prize of Rs 1,00,000 each.

Commenting about the event, Mr S Karaiadiselvan, Managing Director, CADD Centre, said that National Design Competition is an annual event to promote the talent of students in engineering design. It is India’s the largest and only national level design competition conducted to identify the engineering design talent.
The first edition of the design competition was held in 2013. It attracted the participation of about 80,000 students across India. The number of participants has increased to 1,00,000 during the current edition.

Mr Karaiadiselvan noted that though India is emerging as a sought after outsourcing destination for engineering design, process and services, and there are more job openings for engineering designers, there is a need to create more awareness among students on the job opportunities available in engineering design.
Citing a report from a popular job portal, he said that every month more than 40,000 engineering design jobs are posted online by employers of different research & design, manufacturing and business sectors. It is estimated that this number will touch one lakh by 2020. But there is a huge skill deficit among students with respect to the adoption of engineering software.

“One of the important objectives of the design competition is to create awareness about the role of various global CAD software products for engineering design. Thanks to our promotional programmes and advertisements, we had reached the message to about 40 lakh students in India,” he added.

The competition was meant for second, third and final year students of engineering colleges and polytechnics. Exclusive themes were given for students representing various mechanical (such as automobile, aeronautical and industrial production) and civil & architectural streams.

This month-long event had four rounds – the first round held at colleges and polytechnics of students, when students produced manually or computer based 2D drafts of their designs. The second round held at nearest CADD Centre premises. Students participating in the second round generated orthographic views using AutoCAD software. The third round was a regional round, conducted at different cities. In this round, students created 3D models of their designs – they used Creo/SolidWorks for Mechanical designs and Revit Architecture for civil & architectural designs.

The final round, which held on March 23, 2014 at Bangalore, hosted the conceptual designs of student participants. The winners of civil & architecture stream (Building Design) were: Mr Aditya Singh Parihar of Indore (Building Design) was Mr. Dhananjay Premraj Patil of Mumbai (Product Design). The winners were presented with the Best Designer Award and a cash prize of Rs 1lakh each.

The runners-up of the competition were: Mr. R. Biju of Marthandam (Building Design) and Mr. Devesh Jangir of Jaipur (Product Design). The runners-up received a trophy and certificates, along with the cash award of Rs 30,000 each. All the participants of the final round were awarded a Consolation Certificate and cash prize of Rs 10,000.
