TEQIP III sponsored 2 day National Level conference is proposed to encourage young researchers, students and faculty across India and present their novel work on the major research area on “Advancement in Materials, Modelling, Characterization, and Manufacturing Processes”. It is planned to invite research papers in different domains of Materials, Metallurgical and Manufacturing Engineering. In the upcoming generation in manufacturing sector, hybridized materials, advance manufacturing and monitoring techniques will emerge as disruptive phenomenon. In order to acquaint ourselves with such techniques, it is imperative to organize a platform where such knowledge can be shared from academicians around the country. This proposed conference aims to build a sustainable platform of sharing and increasing our knowledge in the field of Materials, Metallurgical and Manufacturing. The conference proposes to invite papers and models from the fields mentioned above. Through this conference Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering in collaboration with Production and Industrial Engineering, NIT Jamshedpur is providing a platform to bring together renowned speakers, researchers, students, consultants, and academicians to share their research experiences and findings. Eminent experts from premium institutes will deliver lectures on topics of specified areas.

Objectives

To bring renowned speakers, researchers, students, consultants and academicians to a single platform for sharing the research methodologies in the proposed themes

To elevate Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering and Production and Industrial Engineering in the National level

To motivate students towards research and present their work in an expert level

To publish conference proceedings and disseminate in the National level

It was started in year 1988 with the name of “Production Engineering & Management”. The name of this department was changed to Production & Industrial Engineering in the year 2007. The department was accredited by NBA in 2009. This core department has a sanctioned strength of 16 (Sixteen) faculty members with flexible faculty structure. Presently, there are 02 Professor, 03 Associate professors and 08 Assistant Professors. Every faculty member has received doctorate degree in different research areas. The department is running a UG course for B. Tech. (Hons.) degree in Production and industrial Engineering and a PG course in Manufacturing Systems Engineering as well as Ph. D. program in various streams of Production and Industrial Engineering. The Department is currently developing different engineering laboratories like CAD/CAM Lab., Advanced Manufacturing and Flexible manufacturing systems Lab., Non- Traditional Manufacturing lab, and Industrial Engineering & Ergonomics lab and Central workshop. Time to time curricula/syllabus is upgraded as per the market and technology requirement. The department has also proposed to start a new PG course in Production Management which will cater to the current industrial need.

The department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering was among the four branches with which the institute initially launched in 1960, with increasing focus on Advanced Materials , Composite Materials, Nanotechnology, Materials Technology, Foundry Technology, Iron & Steel, Nanotechnology, Mineral Benefaction and Corrosion and Surface Engineering. The R&D work being carried out in these field in the Metallurgical sector, Materials Engineering was included in the curriculum of the department in 1995. At present the department offers B.Tech, M.Tech and Ph.D course. The mission of the department is to train young mind and to equip them with the best possible technical knowledge to meet the current and future demand of the industries, academia & research as well as society.
