You would have read or heard about it or even seen a real one! Yes, we are talking drones or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), a topic which is very much in the news nowadays. We were pleased, as part of our regular Lee Wee Nam Library lunch time talk series, to have Professor Rajkumar Pant, MAE Visiting Professor from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, to deliver a talk titled: “To Drone or Not To Drone” at Lee Wee Nam Library on 30th March 2016. The talk was not just of interest to aerospace engineering students & researchers but also people from other engineering disciplines as well as those with non-engineering background. There were more than 50 present on the day of the talk. Interest on this topic was strong, judging by the number of questions fielded to Prof Rajkumar by the participants after his talk. The talk also included a live-demo of a nano-drone by a licensed drone pilot – click here for the short demo video. See more photos of the event here.

Good news – the EID exhibition is back again at Lee Wee Nam Library exhibition area! Last year Engineering Library worked with the School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE) to showcase, for the first time, student works for their EID (Engineering, Innovation & Design) programme at LWNL. This year we have more of these interesting projects like phone power bank charger kiosk, wet shoe drier, rain proof window and bus door umbrella (Cover U). The exhibition ends on 31 August and to-date feedback received have been very encouraging so don’t miss viewing these interesting exhibits by our students.
