Workshop on ‘Mechatronics and Microfabrication’ underway at IIT Kanpur

As many as 40 students, including women researchers from across the country, are attending the workshop. The participants will receive hands-on training on high-end equipment, planning and performing experiments, data collection and interpretation.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur is organising a high-end workshop on ‘Mechatronics and Microfabrication (MechMicroFab-2022)’. The workshop ‘Karyashala’ began on December 5 and will continue till December 15, 2022.  

The high-end workshop workshop caters to the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical System (NM-ICPS) and aims to skill the next generation of researchers to adapt and evolve with scientific research and modern technologies in a rapidly transforming global manufacturing scenario.  

MechMicroFab-2022 offers a platform for training with basic and advanced control systems, mechatronics, statistical tools, modern manufacturing, and precision micro/nanoscale fabrication technologies. The trained researchers will also align with the vision of Skill India and Atmanirbhar Bharat.  

The worksop is coordinated by Prof Janakarajan Ramkumar and Prof Sarvesh Kumar Mishra from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur. Speakers from various institutes will deliver lectures to complement learning on various thematic research areas. 

Prof Ramkumar said there are 40 students participating in the workshop, including a good number of women researchers from across the country. Prof Mishra said the participants will receive hands-on training on high-end equipment, planning and performing experiments, data collection and interpretation, and basic etiquettes to maintain exorbitant precision machining and additive manufacturing systems which covers various application industries from biomedical to defence, aerospace to automotive sectors.
