2-WEEK ISTE WORKSHOP on Thermodynamics in Mechanical Engineering At Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay

2-WEEK ISTE WORKSHOP on Thermodynamics in Mechanical Engineering At Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay

Introduction

An important initiative has been taken by IIT Bombay, to work with Engineering Colleges in the country to
enhance the teaching skills of our faculty colleagues in core Engineering and Science Subjects. This initiative
has now become a part of the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT) supported by MHRD. A theme paper outlining the details of the initiative is available on the website http://ekalavya.it.iitb.ac.in/eOutreachHome.do

From December 2009 onwards, we have conducted two-week ISTE workshops on "Effective teaching/
learning of Computer Programming' and “Database Management Systems,” under the NMEICT. These workshops were conducted through distance mode using the EDUSAT network, and the internet. These were attended by over 1300 teachers at 36 remote centers and 1039 teachers at 33 remote centers respectively. For the workshop on “Database Management Systems”, the internet was the sole mode of transmission, and proved to be very effective.

Live lectures were given by IIT faculty; the participating teachers attended them at a remote center close to their own college. Tutorial and lab sessions were conducted in the same centers. Each center had a course Coordinator, who supervised the conduct of tutorials and Labs. All the lectures and tutorial sessions
were recorded, and the final edited audio-visual contents, along with other course material will be released under Open Source. These contents can be freely used later by all teachers and students.

The resounding success of these workshops has encouraged us to organize another 2-week workshop,
on Thermodynamics in Mechanical Engineering from 14th - 24th June, 2011. This time, we have 34 institutes joining us on this mission, as Remote Centers through the Internet.

Teaching Faculty

Prof. U.N. Gaitonde, Department of Mechanical
Engineering, IIT Bombay
http://www.me.iitb.ac.in/wiki/doku.php?id=gaitonde
Prof. U. V. Bhandarkar, Department of Mechanical
Engineering, IIT Bombay
http://www.me.iitb.ac.in/wiki/doku.php?id=bhandarkar

Course Content

Detailed course contents are available on our website http://ekalavya.it.iitb.ac.in/eOutreachHome.do.
These reflect the syllabus adopted by most universities for the subject ‘Thermodynamics in Mechanical
Engineering.’ The participating teachers will also be introduced to the IIT style of teaching.

Duration and Venue

The duration of the workshop is 2 weeks (10 working days). It will begin at 09:00 am on Tuesday, 14th June, 2011, and end at 17:30 pm on Friday, 24th June, 2011. Additional contributions from participants are required to be made within the following two weeks.

The venues for the workshop will be 34 Remote centers, the list of which is enclosed with this brochure.

Who may benefit

The workshop will benefit faculty colleagues who are teaching Thermodynamics in Mechanical Engineering, in their colleges. They should have taught this subject at least once, and should be familiar with the syllabi and examination pattern of their own college or university.

Note

It is mandatory that while registering for the workshop, the participant should submit a scanned copy of a letter from the principal/HOD of his/her institute mentioning that he/she is an employee of the institute and has been permitted to attend the workshop. Registration without this letter will not be entertained.

Please note that this workshop is conducted by the eOutreach project of IIT Bombay, under the National
Mission on Education through ICT. Live recording of the course and other created contents would be released under Open Source through a portal. The recorded CD/DVD of the course lectures will be available for distribution at cost, to any individual or institution. All participants are required to sign an undertaking certificate for such release of contents contributed by them during and after the workshop. The recognition and citation will naturally be made for all contributors.

Accommodation & other support

Remote centers are being funded to provide tea/lunch on each day of the workshop, and for accommodation, wherever available*, for limited number of outstation participants. Travel expenses up to Rs.1000 will be reimbursed against proof of actual expenditure.

* Accommodation is not guaranteed.

Course Fee

Since the workshop is funded by the National Mission on Education through ICT (MHRD, Government of
India), there is no course fee for participation.

National Workshop on Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (NDS 2011) At National Institute of Technology, Durgapur

National Workshop on Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (NDS 2011) At National Institute of Technology, Durgapur

Theory of nonlinear dynamical systems provides important tools to model and study many complex phenomena in almost every disciplines of science and engineering. In last four decades there has been tremendous growth of interest in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems. In fact, nonlinear dynamical systems has now emerged as one of the major interdisciplinary subject. The advancement of the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems complemented by the power of computing in recent years made possible to tackle many so far unsolved nonlinear problems.
