The Automotive Club of MBU organized an exciting event, “Spot to Specify: Material Identification Game,” on 16th September 2025 from 3:45 to 4:45 PM at Room No. 4318 in the New Academic Block. The program aimed to enhance students’ understanding of engineering materials through an engaging and interactive format.
The primary objective of the event was to foster students’ ability to identify and classify various engineering materials. It aimed to spark curiosity and boost analytical thinking by making the learning process interactive and enjoyable. The event encouraged students to think critically about material properties and their real-life applications in engineering fields, including civil and mechanical engineering.
Dr. N. Anantha Krishna, Associate Professor, served as the event coordinator, leading the team to ensure smooth execution of the activities. This event brought together 58 participants from the first-year B.Tech Civil Engineering (CE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME) departments. With 58 participants divided into 12 groups, the event ran efficiently. Students actively participated, asking insightful questions and engaging in discussions throughout the event. They worked together in teams to solve material identification puzzles and answered probing questions related to the properties and uses of engineering materials. Their collaborative spirit was evident, and the enthusiasm was contagious.
The event was structured around interactive activities like word-search puzzles and material identification challenges. Participants were asked to solve problems related to identifying materials and understanding their applications in real-world engineering scenarios. The engaging nature of the activity not only made it informative but also fun, helping students retain knowledge while enhancing their problem-solving skills. Group I, composed of four mechanical engineering students and two civil engineering students, emerged as the winners due to their excellent teamwork and analytical approach.
The key takeaway for the participants was a deeper understanding of engineering materials and their applications. They left the event with improved identification skills, better teamwork, and a heightened curiosity about material science. Students learned to connect theoretical knowledge with practical scenarios, reinforcing their academic foundation.
The organizers appreciated the efforts of the students and their active involvement, making the event a meaningful learning experience for all.
