energy generation through renewables. Recognizing the vast potential of
renewables, Government of India has set-up an independent ministry;
Ministry of new and renewable energy. However, these renewables have
their advantages and limitations viz., region specific and season specific.
The National Workshop on Advances in Sustainable Energy Studies (ASES)
to be held during November 1-2, 2014, for the benefit of budding Ph.D
scholars and young faculty of Mechanical, Civil, Environmental
engineering etc. intends to provide an insight into state of the art of use of
the above mentioned energy sources.
Resource Persons
Prominent experts from both academia and industry will deliver lectures.
Introduction
Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP) was
commissioned in many technical education institutes by the Ministry of
Human Resource Development (MHRD) towards enhancing the academic
and research potential of the supported institutes in order to produce
world class engineering graduates. NIT Warangal is one of the premier
institutes implementing the TEQIP schemes. Now it is TEQIP, Phase II, in
operation with the objectives of (i) increasing enrollment in existing and
new PG programmes in Engineering and applied sciences, (ii) providing
avenues for advancement of professional qualifications, subject
knowledge and research competence through training programmes,
workshops, conferences, etc in modern areas of S&T, (iii) promoting
research in cutting-edge technologies by supporting inter-disciplinary
centres of excellence, industrial liaison and international collaboration
for academic exchange and (iv) supporting postgraduate programmes in
new and industry-focused engineering subjects
Theme of the Workshop
Consumption of fossil fuel reserves for meeting energy demands has
become a yardstick to rate whether a country is a developed or
developing country. No doubt civilization has become rapid with the
exponential growth in consumption of fossil fuels. Also, fossil fuel derived
civilization has brought with it a host of problems, prominent being
pollution (GHGs and associated climate change issues) and fluctuating
prices. Moreover, dependency on OPEC nations for import of fossil
resources is also leading to loss of country’s exchequer. In this context,
self sustainability, energy security, energy independence and carbon
credits have become buzzwords among the research community. The
only solution is to adopt energy conservation techniques and switching
over to alternative/ sustainable/renewable energy sources such as solar,
wind, biomass, geothermal etc. It is interesting to know that many of the
power generating enterprises are diversifying their activities on the
About Warangal
Warangal is known for its rich historical and cultural heritage and for
agrarian economy. It is situated at a distance of 140 km from
Hyderabad. Warangal is well connected by rail and road. NIT
Warangal campus is about 2 km away from Kazipet Railway Junction
that halts many southern-, northern- and east-coast-bound express
trains. Warangal Railway Station is about 12 km form NIT Warangal.
Passengers are advised to alight at Kazipet if their train route is
through it or Warangal if Kazipet station is not in their route.
About NIT Warangal
National Institute of Technology (formerly Regional Engineering
College), Warangal is the first among RECs and was setup in 1959 as a
joint venture of the Government of India and the AP State
Government. The foundation Stone was laid by Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru. It became NIT in 2002 under the exclusive governance of the
MHRD. Over the years, NITW has developed into a premier institute
and is ranked among the top 10 technical education institutes in the
country. There are 14 Departments offering B.Tech (in 8 Branches),
M.Tech (in 24Courses), MSc. (Tech.), MSc, MBA and MCA. PhD
programmes are being offered in all engineering, sciences, humanities
and management. Every Department has modestly advanced research
infrastructure. The Computer Centre houses hundreds of computer
terminals with the state of the art configuration of hardware and
software to cater to the computational needs of all the Departments.
The NIT Warangal is a (secure) Wi-Fi Campus.
The Central Library has lakhs of books in all modern areas of S&T and
subscribes to many print and e-journals. It is in INDEST Consortium
with free access to Science Direct.
About the Department of Mechanical Engineering
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers an undergraduate
program in Mechanical Engineering and seven Post-graduate programs
in different specialized areas of Mechanical Engineering. The
Department has well qualified and experienced faculty and good
laboratory facilities. The Department has liaison with reputed industries
and R&D organizations such as DRDO, NFTDC, Ashok Leyland,
BHEL,(R&D); ARAI, CMTI. Currently the Department is executing
several consultancy and R&D projects. A Centre of Excellence on
Sustainable Energy Studies has been sanctioned to the Department with
an outlay of Rs. 5.00 Crores under TEQIP-II. The Department also offers
Ph.D programme in Mechanical Engineering and also has been
recognized as a QIP centre for M.Tech and Ph.D in Mechanical
Engineering.
