Mr. Manohar Srigiriraju

Topic:

Reverse Engineering

The reverse engineering session at ELOQVENT provides students with an immersive experience in deconstructing and analyzing products to understand their core functionality and design. This task, guided by an expert facilitator, will empower participants to explore the inner workings of everyday items, uncovering how each component contributes to the product's purpose and performance.

Objective:
Participants will learn the fundamentals of reverse engineering by examining various products and identifying problem statements within each one. This hands-on analysis will encourage critical thinking and innovation, as students work to devise potential improvements or alternative uses for these products. The facilitator will guide students in applying a structured approach, breaking down products into manageable components, and exploring the rationale behind each design choice.

Key Activities:

  1. Introduction to Reverse Engineering Concepts
    The session will begin with a brief overview of reverse engineering, explaining its relevance in various fields and how it fosters innovation.

  2. Product Analysis and Decomposition
    Participants will analyze selected products, dissecting their components to understand the engineering, design, and functionality behind each element. The facilitator will demonstrate how to systematically examine each part’s role and purpose within the overall system.

  3. Problem Identification and Ideation
    Students will identify any potential inefficiencies or limitations within the products, guided by the facilitator's insights. They will then brainstorm improvements, modifications, or alternative applications, focusing on sustainable and innovative solutions.

  4. Presentation and Discussion
    Teams will present their findings, sharing the insights and improvements they’ve proposed. The facilitator will provide feedback, encouraging further exploration and helping students refine their approach to reverse engineering.
