- 1. ETNEA - 2014 About the Department The mission of the Department of Production Technology is to develop disciplined, socially committed and technically competent manufacturing engineers with creative ability, comprehension and managerial skill to design and manufacture quality products for the benefit of mankind. The Department of Production Technology was established in the year 1977 and offers B.E. (Production Engineering, M.E. (Manufacturing Engineering) and M.E. Mechatronics, an unique programme was stated in the year 1999, for the first time in the country. The Department was accredited by National Board of Accreditation during 1998 and 2008. The Department has organized several national level seminars/conferences, summer/winter schools, faculty development training programmes and short term programmes in the areas of low cost automation, CNC machines and programming and fluid power automation. Since 1977, 50 scholars have been awarded Ph.D. degree currently, there are 55 research scholars pursuing their research work in the department. Many ongoing sponsored research projects and consultancy works have been successfully completed. The ongoing research areas in the Department: • Composite Materials • Parallel Manipulators • Robotics • MEMS and Nanotechnology • Petrinets and PLC • Image Processing • Superplastic Forming • Condition monitoring • FEA/FEM • CAPD • Squeeze casting • Abrasive flow machining • Fluid Power Automation • Quality Management • Supply Chain Management • Ergonomics • Lean Manufacturing • Grinding • Surface Engineering Objectives The national workshop on Emerging Trends in Nanomaterials for Engineering Applications (ETNEA 2014) is the forum for the presentation of contemporary developments and the emerging issues in the areas of theoretical, experimental and applied nanotechnology engineering. Nanotechnology promises an unprecedented era of innovation across multiple disciplines and diverse applications. Its pursuits and activities are proliferating with different approaches, from top-down to bottom-up to converging techniques, and with varying degree of maturity from concept to commercialization. The key to realize nanotechnology's potential is still the ability to assemble and manufacture nano-scale devices, structures with dimensions smaller than 100nm. This workshop will focus on all applications of nanomaterials that will accelerate nanotechnology's progress towards the innovative research and also in the development of cost effective products. Further this would help in developing technologies for current novel devices and applications, including enabling and differentiating aspects in materials, metrology, characterization, and reliability. Keynote and Invited Lectures The conference will consist of keynote address/invited lectures from eminent personalities on the current topics of interest in the area of nanotechnology. Major Topics • Synthesis techniques of Nanomaterials • Nanomaterial in automobile applications • Nanomaterial in Biomedical applications • Corrosion resistance using Nanomaterials • Nanofluids for heat transfer • Nano application in Nuclear Engineering • Nano magnetic materials • Nano materials for energy storage • Nano composites • Nano coating of cutting tools • Nano tribology • Thin film coatings RESOURCE PERSONS The workshop consists of technical sessions and presentations by experts from leading research institutes, organizations, renowned educational institutions and hi-tech industries. WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Professionals from industry, scientists from R&D establishments, teachers from universities / colleges and students will benefit from participation in this workshop. They will get a chance to know about the current scenario in Nanomaterials and its future prospects. The participants are requested to send advance copy of the filled-in application by e-mail at the earliest, followed by the hard copy of the filled-in application with registration fees. Selection will be based on first cum first serve basis. ACCOMMODATION The participants are expected to make their own arrangements for stay.
