Research & Development

The Research and Development Cell aims to nurture research culture in the College by promoting research in newly emerging and challenging areas of Engineering, Technology, Science and Humanities. It encourages the students and faculty to undertake the research in newly emerging frontier areas of Engineering, Technology, Science and Humanities including multidisciplinary fields. This enhances the general research capability of budding technocrats by way of participating in conferences, seminars, workshops, project competition, etc.

We have a reputation for creating innovative solutions to the most challenging of engineering problems. Core areas of expertise include fluid dynamics and heat transfer, material handling engineering. Projects range from analysis and computational modeling to prototype fabrication and testing.
