Report on

Sustainable Energy Development Learning Camp for Students (September 16-20, 2013)

In view of the main focus of TEQIP-II on ‘Research and Development’ our Institute has aimed at

international collaborative research and development activity in engineering and technology specifically

in the field of ‘Sustainable Energy and Environment.’ Our institute has linkages with the International

Energy Foundation (IEF), Singapore. We had lot of deliberations with Dr. Deepak L. Waikar, Vice

President, IEF, Regional HQ, Singapore, regarding today’s energy scenario, the energy crisis being faced

especially in rural areas and ever increasing demand of energy in the age modern technology.

The international collaborative programmes in the field of Sustainable Energy/ Non-Conventional Energy

is an outcome of the long thought process during these deliberations. It was decided to explore different

sustainable energy sources viz. solar energy (thermal and photovoltaic), wind energy, bio energy and

micro hydro energy, fuel cell etc.

To begin with the pilot programme was launched to a group of few selected students from various

disciplines with following objectives.

Objectives:

a) Integrate body of technical knowledge in various engineering faculties

b) Imbibe analytical, decision making and active learning approaches

c) Enhance researching, presentation and leadership qualities

d) Strengthen teamwork, communication and collaborative skills

Methodology of forming Groups:

This pilot programme was conducted for seven groups of student during Sept. 16-20, 2013. Each group

comprised of about 5 to 6 students and was assigned a type of sustainable energy source. The total

number of students was about 40. The details about the groups formed are stated in the table below.

Student groups were guided to perform individual and collaborative research, carry-out group discussions,

share knowledge and experience gained. Deliberations and interactions were held on various aspects such

as principles and concepts, technologies, environmental and social impact analysis and economic/

commercial analysis of chosen sustainable energy. Students were encouraged to identify applications,

generate ideas and conceptualize potential projects for further research. The outcomes envisaged are

stated below.

Outcomes:

The selected student groups are expected to

a) Make themselves aware about a specific type of sustainable energy source

b) Study the pros and cons of energy generation from that source

c) Learn about present scenario and potential available for the chosen energy source

d) Give presentations, prepare reports and draft articles related to their assigned energy source

e) Conceptualize potential projects for further researchfor the chosen sustainable energy resources.

Prolonged discussions were held with the international expert Dr. Deepak Waikar during the exit meeting

after the programme so as to chalk out future activities in the area of Sustainable energy and Environment

and it was resolved that the institute wish to execute following activities identified.

1. Second Energy Camp on ‘Project Management and Project Design’

2. Initiation of an ‘Institute Elective’ in this area

3. Training for selected faculty members under the train the trainer program

4. Organization of International Conference on this important topic.

5. Organize ‘Youth Learning Camps’ imbibing the youth about the importance of sustainable energy

development

6. Drafting vision, mission statements, and initiating collaborative research proposals

7. Submission of proposal to national and international funding agencies and sponsoring real life

problems at M.Tech. and Ph.D. level in sustainable energy systems.

Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering and Technology Physics Instrumentation Engineering Department

Name of the Program: TEQIP II Sponsored Faculty Development Programme on “Emerging Trends in Nanoscience &Nanotechnology” Date: August 6-10, 2013. Report: Nanoscience is the study of the properties of structures of the size smaller than several hundreds of

nanometer (nm) ,Nanotechnology consists in techniques for designing and manufacturing these structures

as well as applications arising from these.

The development of nanoscience and nanotechnology is in line with the trend towards miniaturisation.

As nanoscience and nanotechnology develop, they make the barriers between traditional scientific and

technological disciplines more permeable. Today, there is increasing interaction between electronics,

chemistry, physics, biology, medical sciences, information and communication sciences. Scientists

describe this as a process of "convergence" of disciplines. At the same time, it is recognised that their

application may raise new challenges in the safety, regulatory or ethical domains that will require societal

debate.

This FDP aims at introducing need of nanoscience & nanotechnology. Our aim has been to provide an

overview of current and potential future developments in nanoscience and nanotechnologies against

which the health, safety, environmental, social and ethical implications can be considered. Keeping this in

mind the physics & Instrumentation Engineering Department organized one week faculty development

programme for faculties and researchers of engineering colleges on Emerging Trends in Nanoscience &

Nanotechnology August 6-10, 2013.

Eminent personalities from Academia and Industry delivered quality lectures in this workshop.

The workshop was inaugurated by Dr. Dilip Ukey, Vice Chancellor SRTMU Nanded. Dr. A. D.

Shaligram also delivered key note speech on Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Later,

Dr.A.S.Gangal, university of pune delivered lecture on Micro and Nano Manufacturing Techniques.also

Dr. Rajaram Mane, Professor, SRTMU Nanded deliverd lecture on Nanostructures for Solar Cells.

On 7/8/13, Dr. J.B. Naik UDCT Jalgaon presented lecture on Development of sustained released

nanoparticles of antidiabetic and NSAIDs drugs. The lecture was very effective and topic discussed is

very much in research. In the afternoon sessions Dr. Shivaji Sadale, Shivaji University Kolahpur had

introduced Nanotechnology for Energy Applications. The third day was completely devoted for Polymer

nanocomposites- synthesis and characterization" by Prof.Dr.Sandip.S.Ahankari,Asta. Later, Prof. Dr.

Khairnar SRTMU Nanded delivered lecture on Carbon nano tubes &nano-bio-ceramic based gas sensor.

On fourth day, Prof. S.D. Dattagupta IIT Bombay on Nano-electronics: Fuel Cells and later

Prof. J. Thomas Andrew SGSITS Indore delivered lecture on Quantum Optical Computing using II-VI

semiconductor quantum dots.
