Three Day Workshop-AutoCAD Fusion
2nd - 4th April 2026
Department of Mechanical Engineering of Dronacharya Group of Institutions organized a comprehensive three-day workshop on Advanced Design Software, AutoCAD Fusion from 2nd April 2026 to 4th April 2026. This initiative was undertaken to enrich the learning experience of students and enhance their practical skills, effectively bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world industrial applications.
The workshop was meticulously planned by Dr. Saket(Assistant Professor) under the supervision of Dr. Shailesh Kumar Singh (HOD), keeping in mind the diverse learning needs of the participants. It was structured to cover a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from basic functionalities to advanced features of the design software. The schedule included hands-on practice sessions, interactive question-and-answer segments, and real-world project assignments, ensuring a holistic and engaging learning experience for all attendees.
The first day of the workshop began with an overview of designing, its historical significance, and its importance in the field of mechanical engineering. Participants were introduced to Autodesk Fusion, including its industrial applications, user interface, and basic tools. Essential concepts such as layer management, vector graphics, and typography were also covered. By the end of the session, students were able to create simple yet effective designs, gaining confidence in their newly acquired skills.
On the second day, the workshop progressed to more advanced topics, including 3D modelling, animation, and rendering techniques. Dr. Saket shared valuable industry insights and practical tips, drawing from his personal experience to demonstrate how the software can be effectively used to address real-world design challenges. The participants actively engaged in hands-on activities, further strengthening their understanding of the concepts.
The final day focused on project-based learning, where participants worked on individual assignments and applied the knowledge they had gained over the previous sessions. They received personalized feedback, which helped them refine their designs and improve their technical proficiency.
The workshop witnessed enthusiastic participation from second and third-year students, who greatly appreciated the opportunity to gain practical exposure and interact closely with faculty members. The event was supported by faculty members of the Mechanical Engineering Department, including Mr. Vishnu Kuntal, Dr. Deepak Kumar, Mr. Ankur Sachdeva, and Dr. Neelam Baghel.
Dr. Shailesh Kumar Singh, visited the lab during the workshop, interacted with the students, and encouraged them to actively participate in such skill-enhancing initiatives. He also reviewed the final projects created by the students and remarked that the workshop was highly engaging and educational, significantly enhancing students’ practical knowledge while strengthening their foundational understanding.
Overall, the workshop proved to be a successful initiative, fostering creativity, technical competence, and industry readiness among the participants.
