About Student Association

Mechanical Student Association (MESA):

Mechanical Engineering Student Association (MESA) is a student-run organization typically found within RIT. MESA was established in 1987 and has proudly continued its legacy for 35 years. It is specifically dedicated to serving the needs and interests of mechanical engineering students. MESA provides a platform for students to engage in activities related to their field of study, enhance their knowledge, develop practical skills, and build a network within the mechanical engineering community. The primary goal of a MESA is to enrich the educational experience of mechanical engineering students by organizing various events, workshops, seminars, and competitions. All MESA programs are coordinated by Prof. R. A. Magdum. Trailblazer is one of the state level mega event organized by MESA every year. These activities include:

1. Technical Workshops: MESA often arranges workshops on topics such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), programming, and other relevant technical skills.

2. Fresher’s Welcome Function: MESA each year arranges the freshers welcoming function for the second-year student of Mechanical engineering department, in order to welcome them to the department.

3. Guest Lectures: Prominent industry professionals or academic experts are invited to deliver lectures on specialized areas of mechanical engineering, sharing their knowledge and experiences with the students.

4. Competitions (Trailblazer): Trailblazer is one of the state level mega event organized by MESA each year. This year, more than 500 students from RIT and from various institutes of Maharashtra have participated in this program. It was arranged on two days including 8 events of which some are technical and some are non-technical events. All students actively participated in the various events organized by MESA.

5. Networking Events: MESA provides opportunities for students to interact with professionals, alumni, and peers through networking events, career fairs, and social gatherings. These events help students establish valuable connections within the industry.

6. Professional Development: MESA may offer resume-building workshops, interview preparation sessions, and career development guidance to help students transition into the professional world.

By actively participating in a MESA, mechanical engineering students can broaden their knowledge, gain practical experience, enhance their leadership and teamwork skills, and develop a strong professional network. Additionally, MESA provides a platform for students to voice their concerns, collaborate on projects, and foster a sense of camaraderie among fellow mechanical engineering student.
