C2C in Action: GUVI and Excel Engineering College Partner for Fusion 360 Workshop

Getting comfortable with industry tools early on can make a big difference in a student’s career journey. That’s why GUVI, through its C2C (College-to-Corporate) initiative, recently conducted a hands-on virtual session on Autodesk Fusion 360 for the students of Excel Engineering College.

Held over two days, the session gave students a closer look at real-world design workflows – right from basic modeling to professional-grade simulations – helping them build skills that go beyond the textbook.

Exploring the Power of Autodesk Fusion 360 in a Virtual Format

The two-day session, conducted on March 14th and 15th, 2025, introduced students to the core features of Autodesk Fusion 360, a powerful 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool used by professionals in product design and engineering.

The session was guided by Mr. Arun Kumar, who brought in-depth industry knowledge to the table. He walked students through essential concepts like parametric modeling, 3D workflows, and assembly creation. Live demonstrations and interactive Q&A segments kept the sessions engaging, helping students connect theory with real-world applications.

Industry Insights That Made a Difference

Mr. Arun Kumar didn’t just explain how to use the software; rather, he also helped students understand why it matters. By sharing examples from real engineering projects, he made sure the learning went beyond surface-level tools and focused on practical thinking.

The way he broke down complex design workflows made it easier for students to relate to industry processes. Many participants shared how the session gave them a clearer idea of what working on actual design tasks feels like, and how tools like Autodesk Fusion 360 play a central role in that journey.

C2C Team: Driving the Success Behind the Scenes

Behind every successful session is a team that makes it all happen. GUVI’s College-to-Corporate (C2C) team played a key role in organizing the virtual training and ensuring a smooth experience for everyone involved. From coordinating logistics to curating relevant content, their efforts helped align the session with what students genuinely need to grow beyond academics.

The session was also backed by the constant support of GUVI’s leadership, including Arun Prakash M, Balamurugan SP, Anitha Natarajan, Muruganandam Punniyamoorthy, and Vasanth Vijayabaskar, whose vision continues to power GUVI’s mission of bridging the industry-academia gap.

Special appreciation goes to the dedicated C2C team members – Banu Prakash, Ananda Rajamanickam, Lakshmana Narayanan V, Thotta S Vinod, Arun Shukla, Rajib Kumar Lakra, Athulya Pradeep, and Sai Sunitha G, for their behind-the-scenes contributions that helped bring the session to life.

Student Reactions and the Road Ahead

Even though the session was held virtually, the level of interaction and engagement was high throughout. Students appreciated the way complex topics were made simple, and many shared that the live demonstrations helped them connect the dots between theory and practice.

What stood out most was how confident they felt by the end of the workshop. Getting hands-on with a tool like Autodesk Fusion 360 gave them a glimpse of what real-world design work looks like and how their classroom learning can transform into something more industry-ready.

A Step Closer to Industry-Ready Learning

This virtual session marked another meaningful step in GUVI’s efforts to make technical education more aligned with real-world needs. Through initiatives like C2C, students get exposure to tools and practices that are actively used in the industry, helping close the gap between what’s taught in classrooms and what’s expected in careers.

Excel Engineering College continues to show a forward-thinking approach by encouraging such collaborations. Sessions like these help students build real skills and gain the confidence to apply them beyond the classroom while also preparing them for the kind of work they’ll face in the industry.
