Metamorphosis | IIT Delhi
Design Thinking | Embedded Systems | IoT | Rapid Prototyping
Program Overview
Selected from approximately 180 students nationwide, I participated in an 8-week Innovation Immersion Program conducted by Metamorphosis at IIT Delhi. The programme was structured into four phases, combining independent research, engineering design, prototype development, and technical presentations.
The first phase was conducted online, where participants independently selected a research topic and carried out technical research and analysis. My research focused on “E20 Fuel Blend (20% Ethanol & 80% Petrol): A 10-Year Outlook,” examining its potential impact on sustainable transportation, fuel efficiency, environmental sustainability, and the future adoption of alternative fuels over the next decade.
The second phase took place on campus at IIT Delhi, where participants worked in multidisciplinary teams to solve an engineering challenge assigned by the faculty. As part of a four-member team, I contributed to the development of SEWA (Smart Sewage & Water Management System), an intelligent system designed to monitor water levels, detect flooding conditions, and automatically regulate water flow using sensor-based technology.
During the third phase, our team presented the working prototype and demonstrated its functionality to faculty members, mentors, and the Chief Guest, explaining the engineering concepts, system design, and practical applications of the solution.
Project
Working in a four-member team, we developed SEWA (Smart Sewage & Water Management System), an IoT-based solution designed to monitor water levels, detect flooding conditions, and automatically regulate water flow through an intelligent floodgate mechanism.
My Contribution
I contributed to the mathematical modelling, engineering calculations, prototype assembly, sensor integration, system testing, and the final technical presentation, explaining the working principles and potential real-world applications of the solution.
