Engineering students design driverless car

Four students of electronics & communication and mechanical engineering of Lovely Professional University, Punjab, under the guidance of their mentors, have successfully designed a car that can be controlled from a mobile phone, sitting at any part of the world. The car is pliable on both the auto and manual modes and has safety provisions like child-lock , while being on auto mode.

Engineering tops as most favoured discipline

 In an era of choices, engineering still dominates as a favoured discipline. There are 3393engineering colleges in India with a capacity of 14.85 lakh seats across 36 courses approved by the All India Council of Technical Education(AICTE). Of the total number of colleges, 65% are in the south and 35% in the north.

With the government adding new Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) and National Institutes of Technology (NIT) to the existing list in tier-II cities, and with the birth of more private institutes, are we witnessing the emergence of newer centres of engineering excellence in cities such as Indore, Jodhpur, Jaipur and Bhopal? Also, with newer streams like biomedical engineering, bioinformatics and environmental engineering being offered, are these unconventional combinations gaining in popularity?

Exercise crucial to older adults fitness and health

Washington, May 27 (ANI): Several people consider aging to be a time to slow down and take it easy.

However, a recent study suggests that the more we age, the more we need exercise to keep us independent and healthy.

"Exercise is important for almost everyone. There are very few medical conditions that exercise won't benefit. In fact, I sometime write a prescription to get my patients to start taking this seriously and help them understand exercise can be just as helpful as medication," said Keith Veselik, director of primary care at Loyola University Health System and associate professor in the Department of Medicine at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
