Village Development Project with the Govt. of Punjab
The SATHI initiative ensures overall development of the villages through university engagement. Through SATHI, LPU students and faculty endeavor to facilitate skill development and employment generation.Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Marvel
Students created a huge 41 feet tall metallic structure composed of 12 cars called ‘Metal Boy’. It was to be the main center of attraction at Auto Expo 2014.
Students Build Solar Powered Car
Students designed and built a solar car that claims to do away with costly fuel options and promises the "highest mileage on solar energy". Hitting the roads soon!
Student Run Full Fledged Hotel
LPU students run and manage a full fledged hotel with a functional kitchen, restaurant, 25 rooms and all possible amenities. The hotel usually hosts university guests and parents.Students Race Go Karts
Students learn the fundamentals of automobile engineering by building their own go karts. What is interesting is that they actually have to race their go karts to show whose design is the best.
Students Run Live Businesses @ The UniMall
Students have access to a fully functional 10 storey mall where they can host and run their businesses. Hundreds of students have started a number of restaurants, shops, cafes and outlets.
Aviation Lab
Students can practice real life aviation hospitality at the state of the art aviation lab.
Aerodynamic Human Powered Vehicle
Conceptialized and built by LPU students, the main objective of the vehicle was to achieve maximum speed, provide utmost comfort and safety to the riders, make it light weight and agile, with maximum stability even in worst conditions, and to produce the vehicle with affordable cost.Students Race Light Solar Powered Cars
What better way to learn about solar technology than by actually developing your own vehicles. Since the students have to race them and compete, they are compelled to ensure that their design is efficient and commercially viable.
Refurbishing Urbanscape
LPU students studying architecture did spatial planning to revitalize street scape of Phagwara city under design imperatives of Street Vendor Act, 2014.
LPU Students Build Mobile Apps
LPU students are continuously developing Mobile Apps for various in-house activities, events and online services that are popular in Google Apps. These include LPU Touch, LPU ClassAlert, Verto, LPU Marks Calculator, LPU Calc, LPU-Time Tabulation, LPU NotMe....and the list is endless.
Flying Farmer
Conceptulized and built by LPU students, Flying Farmer is a wireless sensor device used in farming and field survey of forests. It plays an important role in enhancing mapping and survey of yield and biomass. By using this technology, one can support and increase the precision in farming with different sensors and also estimate nutrient content.Eco Friendly Bikes
Students developed tons of eco friendly bike designs and raced them to establish whose designs were the most efficient and viable.
Students Experiment with Hydroponics
Developed by LPU students, it is a novel technology in which the plants are grown in an artificial environment without soil. Various ensemble approaches like hydroponics, aquaponics and aeroponics are utilized. The growth rate of a hydroponic plant is 30 to 50 percent faster than a soil plant, grown under the same conditions.
Students For Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
LPU students were declared as Youth Ambassadors for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. They have been rewarded for their live project on floating island approach for sustainable development of ‘Kanjli wetland’ in Kapurthala, Punjab.
Students Work on Aquaponics
LPU students have undertaken aquaponic project to explore its sustainability and increasing awareness of this food production system. Aquaponics, a combination of aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (soilless plant farming), uses fish wastewater as a resource, circulating it through hydroponic grow beds where plants take up its nutrients. The filtered water is then recycled back through the fish tanks.
Hunar Se Rozgar Tak
LPU in association with Union Ministry of Tourism have taken special training initiative for providing skill based training to youth belonging to weaker sections of the society. These courses include food production, bakery, housekeeping, food and beverage service.
Students Develop Session Capture App
Development by LPU students, It helps teacher to monitor the computer screen of students using Screen Sharing module. Students can also monitor computer screen of the teacher. This is highly beneficial in academics as it facilitates students to store video lectures as well faculty member to view the student’s action for better management.
Students Develop Quadcopter
LPU students have conceptualized and built an autonomous quadcopter. This quadcopter is equipped with gyroscope, accelerometer, wifi module and arduino board for processing. Students worked to stabilize copter in flight by tuning PID controllers making it fully autonomous for various applications such as remote surveillance etc.
Ayurvaidya Aushdha Nirman
Under this entrepreneurship project, students successfully prepared and sold various classical dosage forms like shankha bhasma, anandbhairav rasa and draksharistha.Gesture Controlled Wheelchair
LPU students have conceptualized and built an accelerometer based, hand gesture controlled wheelchair. A microcontroller runs motors in forward, backward, left and right direction. It will make life easy for the physically challenged who are unable to perform daily activities.
Rejuvenation of NH-1
LPU architecture students have conceptualized potential greenway link from LPU to Jalandhar city showcasting historically significant sites, beautifying entrances to various buildings, landscape corridor edges, making entire journey on road pleasing to the travellers.
Walking Bicycle
Bicycle with legs!- Combines the walking with cycling. The rear wheel of the cycle is replaced with a mechanical assemblage of links to idealize a walking object. This project is built with the aim of providing health benefits as well as generating small scale electricity for home use. With 2 hours of cycling, it can generate electricity which is able to supply energy for 24 hour of daily use in a normal house.
