The Department strengthened by its motivated faculty members is working on various research projects funded by Naval Research Board (NRB), Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the SSN Trust. The Department regularly organizes workshops, symposiums, student and staff seminars as part of its academic activities. The Department feels proud of its record of 100% placement in campus recruitments every year. The companies who offered placement to our students include L&T, Ashok Leyland, Ford India, ITC, Rane, Brakes India, UCAL, HCL, Infosys, CTS, Wipro and so on. We are active in various research projects in the areas such as Friction Stir Welding, Heat Transfer, Refrigeration, Energy Storage, MEMS, Nano Technology, Nanofluids, Robotics, Alternate Fuels, etc.
About the Conference
Thermal engineering is a broad field of Mechanical engineering that encompasses technologies dealing with vehicle propulsion, space cooling and energy conservation etc.. The serious concerns on environment drive the researchers to explore new technologies for sustainable energy resources. Hence, one of the thrust-areas for the researchers is to explore alternative energy resources and for various thermal systems.
The conference is aimed to feature in-depth presentations on various alternate energy resources, advanced combustion strategies and recent advancements in thermal engineering in terms of performance improvement and energy savings. We are confident that this conference will provide novel insights on essential thermal systems which will enrich the knowledge and pave a way to researchers to identify the various new research concerns.
