As the saying goes, 'Seeing is Believing', Industrial visits are a great experience for the students to get away from their theoretical world of understanding and have a real experience of seeing and feeling the many products and components that they learn in their AC&R subjects. Students from one chapter or a few chapters combine together to plan a day visit to a few places of interest that will expose them to the actual reality of HVACR products and systems, designed, erected and operating in actual sites. Taken around by their faculty advisors from the academia and practicing professionals from the ISHRAE community, Industrial visits often leaving a lasting impression on the student minds about what they learn in classes with just their imagination.
Apart from visits to Commercial Establishments, many industrial visits take students to manufacturing industries and research establishments like food & pharmaceutical segments where Air Conditioning Systems play a vital role in the manufacturing process of these products.
Industrial visits are often combined with a lot of fun activities during the trip making it both a pleasurable and meaningful visit giving room for both learning and growing as a team.
