       It was 17 th Septem ber 1874 our motherland was able to witness the birth of a real mastermind. He was Eng.Wimalasurendra who was born in Galle. He received the school education under the shade of mother Ananda. Thereafter he followed his higher studies in civil engineering at ‘The Ceylon Technical College’ and graduated in 1893. Later he moved onto the Faraday House in England to master in Electrical engineering.                  He was able to gain both the associated memberships of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) UK. That combination of fields made the atmosphere for him, to redefine the power history of Ceylon.            He started his career as a field overseer, at the department of public works in 1893. Then he was promoted to the positions of Inspector and junior assistant engineer. ...

  Mechatronics engineers are essential to the current world because they create and construct intricate systems that combine computer, electronic, and mechanical engineering principles. Mechatronics engineers are in high demand in a variety of industries, including automotive, manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, and energy, as technology advances. In order to design and create electro-mechanical systems, the multidisciplinary area of mechatronics engineering incorporates the concepts of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering. With their understanding of these three fields, mechatronics engineers design effective and efficient systems. The demand for mechatronics engineers is being driven by several factors, including: The rise of automation: As more and more industries adopt automation technologies, the need for mechatronics engineers to design, develop, and maintain these systems will continue to grow. The growth of robotics: Robotics is...

  WILL ENGINES TAKE ON BATTERIES? A small portion of the world’s population is undertaking great endeavours to exceed the normal intelligence of the majority, in terms of ROBOTS. It could be threatening or might be flourishing nevertheless the game has been started remarkably. Though at the beginning robots were large, like the long lives of people gradually decreased, the size of robots also diminished and nowadays tiny robots are made which are fistfuls. When the size decreased mainly they were powered by batteries. Now researchers have been developing conditions to replace  combustion engines  instead of batteries.   A research team consisting of mechanical engineers from  Cornell   University  went through an experiment along with a colleague from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and developed a tiny robot which can be handled using a combustion engine. The magazine  Journal Science  had reserved some pages to get written in ...

  In our digital age, a meme can hold more truth than we might expect. Have you ever stumbled upon the phrase " TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT " while scrolling through your GIF messages on WhatsApp? It's become a symbol of life's choices and looking back at our tumultuous journey as undergrads over the past couple of years, it's a motto that perfectly captures the essence of it all. Amidst the chaos of academic deadlines, relationship dramas, and the ever-elusive search for a decent cup of coffee, we found ourselves living the very essence of that meme. It's like life was challenging us, daring us to decide  'TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT' . And let's be real, making those choices wasn't always a walk in the park. Remember that feeling on the first day of undergrad? The weight of impending assignments, exams, and lectures felt like an avalanche ready to engulf us. The pressure to " TAKE " the academic challenges head-on was real. But there were some mom...
