Applied Mechanics Department with support of SSIP, Gujarat Cell, LDCE organized an Motivational Talk on “Entrepreneurship Opportunities in Civil Engineering” by expert speaker Shri Rakesh H. Shah, Managing Director, S3M Design Consultants LLP, Ahmedabad as a part of SSIP awareness program on 29th Sept 2018, VS Hall, AMD. More than 118 students of 3rd &5th Sem Civil Engg attended the program along with faculties. The program was coordinated by Dr.M.V. Shah & Prof.P.J. Mehta.
Dr. Jaimin Vasa, President GCCI and President CIA, addressed the undergraduate chemical engineering students on “Opportunities for chemical engineers in changing global scenario” on 25/09/2018. He also supported the tree plantation initiative of chemical department. The event was also attended by Dr. G. P. Vadodaria, Principal, LDCE.
An expert lecture on “Application of Drug particles and micro bubbles” was organized by the Chemical Department on 18th of September 2018, Tuesday. Dr Sameer Dalvi, Associate professor in IIT Gandhinagar, was the expert for the same. Dr Sameer Dalvi enlightened the importance and role of micro bubble for precise drug delivery. He talked about the in-depth mechanism of the same. Generation of micro-bubbles and delivering the same, bursting of the bubble on the target, target delivery, limitation of method etc were the key topics of the lecture. He focused on the advantages like usage of least dose quantity, exact drug delivery on the target, lesser time consumption of micro-bubble based delivery system. He also described how Microbubbles are used to carry a drug until a specific area of interest is reached, and then usage of ultrasound to burst the micro-bubbles. Bioactive materials get delivered due to bursting of the bubble. Dr Sameer Dalvi also discussed about the need of such modern delivery system for accurate and better treatments. He ended his lecture by describing such more innovative and recent ethods which can be useful in the nearby future.
Dr. Dipak Kunzaru, Professor (Retd) IIT-Kanpur and currently Professor in Ahmedabad University, had delivered an expert lecture on “Catalysis and its application in Petroleum Refining” for B.E Sem 5 and 7 students on 17/09/2018. Dr Kunzaru had started with the fundamentals of catalysis and made the students understand about its role and importance in the industries. He covered topics like catalysis, mechanism, role of catalyst in petroleum industries, newer developments etc. He also discussed about the major applications and usefulness of catalyst. Dr Dipak Kunzaru emphasized on the applications of catalysis in Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC), Reforming, hydrogenation etc. He also enlightened the major issues and challenges of deactivation of catalyst and its solution approach. He also discussed the recent trends in the field of catalysis and necessity of newer developments to tackle with the issue of deactivation and also on waste disposal.
