4.1 Applied learning for sustainability program
List or sample of currently active/available applied learning or living laboratory experiences for students that address sustainability challenges:
APPLIED LEARNING
1.Faculty Development Program on Green and Sustainable technology for next generation was conducted by the Department of Chemical Engineering from 21.8.20 to 30.8.20. The main aim of this FDP is to create awareness on green chemical technology and applications for sustainable development in the chemical industry. Green technology promotes interdisciplinary research and development to important technological and theoretical developments in various environmental related issues
2.Short Term Training Program on Molecular simulation: From Chemical structure to Green separation Process was conducted by the Department of Chemical Engineering between 7.3.23 and 12.3.23. Molecular Simulation is an indispensable tool, not only for physicists and chemists but also for a wide spectrum of researchers working in a variety of engineering fields including chemical, petroleum, environmental, energy, electrical, mechanical and its allied engineering courses
3.Twelve days ACM Summer School on Cybersecurity for Women was conducted by the Department of Information Technology during 12-23, June 2023 catering to SDG 5 & 9.
4.An online training program on Robotics Technology was conducted for HCL company executives for a duration of 10 weeks (03.03.2023 to 12.05.2023) by the Department of Mechanical Engineering catering to SDG 9. The various modules include Technology trends in Robotic development and its application in Medical, Manufacturing & Automation.
