Introduction

Innovations and inventions are the basic requirement for any group, society or country to prosper. Today, the research and academic activities need to be synchronized with the fast changing requirement of the world. Applied Sciences and Engineering are two complimentary components for one and all innovations leading to new theories and/ or devices. To achieve this, one need be aware of the fundamentals and current developments in the respective research area. The recent innovations in materials processing for advanced engineering applications at large are the technological development toward integration of disciplines such as materials science and engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, and other academic and research disciplines

Objectives of the course

The aim of this course is to train/facilitate young faculties and research scholars in area of materials and processes for advanced engineering applications. The fundamental principles guiding the advances in these areas will be presented. The course is arranged in a series of informative individual lectures on applied concepts in chemical sensors; electro-mechanical devices; batteries; nano-materials; carbon based materials (CNT, graphene, graphene oxide, etc.); solar systems; solar cell; thermoelectric materials; metal oxide nanomaterials; up-conversion materials; advanced instrumentation for surface and interface characterization of materials; organic electronic devices, ferroelectric- and ferromagnetic materials and renewable energy. One or two lectures of the schedule may be devoted to the research methodology, intellectual property rights and/or writing of research proposals and international/ national scientific collaboration. The lecturers will be followed by laboratory visits to provide the real feeling of the taught fundamentals. This course will truly highlight the recent developments and advances in applied Sciences and Engineering.

Who should attend

Faculty members/research scholars from academic institutes and Scientists/ Engineers working in Private/ Public/ Government Organizations/ Industries, Research & Development establishments etc., can attend the course.

Participants will be provided meals and tea during the sessions. However, accommodation can be arranged in hostel/ guest house on nominal payment basis subject to the availability. No TA/DA will be paid to the participants. Participants will be selected on first-come-first serve basis. The filled registration form with demand draft of requisite amount should be sent to the Course Coordinator (scan copy of form and draft can be emailed to get early registration confirmation). Registration fee is to be paid through a crossed bank draft in favor of Director, NIT Kurukshetra payable at Kurukshetra. Onsite registration with DD/cash payment may be possible on request and availability. The brochure with registration form can be downloaded from Institute website www.nitkkr.ac.in
