HOSUR, DEC 31
Adhiyamaan College of Engineering (ACE) on Friday announced that its Department of Aeronautical Engineering has organized a six-day online induction and refresher programme on “Functional Composite Materials.” This programme was instrumental in sharpening the skills of the participants on Functional Composite Materials” and much needed in improving the standards and upgrade the knowledge sponsored by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) New Delhi.
After the inauguration, by Prof R Baskar, Vice President, Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) New Delhi, highlighted the importance of Induction Programme for the young Faculty Members.
Also he appreciated the college for choosing the right topic which was the need of the hour in the field of New Materials Development.
ACE Principal Dr G Ranganath and National Executive Council Member of ISTE said that ISTE has taken right steps to upgrade the knowledge of teaching community.
He thanked the AICTE supporting the programmes in the field of Engineering and Technology.
Also he assured that these types of programmes will help the Faculty Members certainly in Research and Teaching.
Welcoming the participants, Dr J Arivudainambi, Professor and Head of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering and Co-ordinator of the Programme said that the AICTE-ISTE Induction programme on Functional Composite Materials would provide with current, industry-relevant knowledge to address the scientific and technological demands of maintaining an advanced and economically viable functional composites materials and device industry.
Expert lectures, an icing on the cake
Expert lecture on “High strain rate characterisation of nano-composites” was delivered by Dr Gurusideswar S, “Self eating rockets” by Dr RR Elangovan, “functional polymer composites with bio nano-materials as additives’ by Prof PS Venkatanarayanan, “Optimization study on customer-based supply chain network in process industry” by Dr T Anand, “Functional Composite materials” by Dr Palanikumar S, “Artificial Intelligence in Aerospace Industry” by Ravindran, “Optimiztion of composite structures using artificial intelligence algorithms” by Dr A Karthikeyan, “Advanced composite materials and manufacturing in Aerospace industry” by S Ganapathy Iyyapan, “Composite materials in Aircraft and engine” by Tamilarasu Kalinnan, “Newer materials and design concept of articulated robots in industry 4.0” by Dr G Shanamugasundar, “Design simulation and experimental investigations on polymer matrix hybrid composite drive shaft” by Dr C Sivakanthan, “Introduction to drone industries and job opportunities in drone piloting” by Tamilarasu Kalinnan.
The industry-oriented sessions in this course will be focused on topics, including: self-healing composites; functional nanocomposites; functional properties and characterization; scale-up of processing and manufacturing techniques; cure kinetics of functional materials; energy harvesting; piezoelectric; dielectric; coatings and corrosion.
Dr Nambi thanked the ISTE Chief Pratapsinh Kakaso Desai and Executive Secretary Prof Vijay D Vaidya for taking necessary steps to hold such types of programmes for the betterment of the Technical Teaching Community.
More than 60 Faculty members have participated in this induction programme. Finally, anchor person Suvidha Rokade thanked all the participants and the experts.
