Background

The Association of Mechanical Engineering Students (AMES) hosts Aviyantaa and USC every year.

Aviyantaa is an annual yearbook and mechanical engineering festival (mechanical fair), while USC (University Scholar Conference) is a premier academic event aimed at fostering a culture of research and innovation among undergraduate students in Nepal.

The objective of Aviyantaa is to provide a platform for students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kathmandu University to showcase the credit projects of its undergraduate students, providing a means for sharing recent findings and developments with a wider audience.

Meanwhile, USC aims to encourage collaborative knowledge exchange among students, scholars, and experts by sharing research insights and facilitating professional growth through workshops and panels. Furthermore, USC seeks to recognize and amplify valuable research by offering selected participants the opportunity to publish in prestigious peer-reviewed journals.
