NIT Rourkela kick starts month-long training programme in advanced ceramic sciences
National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela's Department of Ceramic Engineering has started a month-long special training programme in advanced ceramic sciences and engineering for a pool of scientists of the Institute of Glass and Ceramic Research and Testing under the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR).
The programme which is sponsored by BCSIR includes eight scientists led by Principal Scientist Officer Shirin Akter Jahan. The BCSIR has also sought the help of the institute to assist and update its scientific personnel on modern technologies and methods, especially in advanced ceramic sciences and engineering.
NIT-R sources said over the next few weeks they would be trained on materials processing methods, properties, advanced characterization tools and their applications. They said the participants have also shown interest to work with the materials on ceramic building, energy and environment, electronic and magnetic besides the waste management and glasses.
Head of the Ceramic Engineering wing of NIT-R professor Debasish Sarkar expressed happiness for being able to share their expertise besides getting recognition. NIT-R Director Professor K Umamaheshwar Rao said, “the NIT-R has been progressing well with its thrust on quality academic and research activities and set a benchmark in research and knowledge outreach initiative. “ We look forward to conduct similar programmes in other fields of science and engineering," he said.
The NIT Rourkela's Department of Ceramic Engineering offers BTech, MTech, and PhD programmes and research on a host of materials including, refractoriness, glasses, bio-ceramics, structural ceramics, nano-structured materials, hybrids, energy and environmental materials. Only the NIT-R has the distinction of having specialized ceramics department among all NITs of the country, while IIT-BHU is the other national institute to have specialized ceramics programme.
