Report on Kaizen ’18 Computer Engineering Department
The project fair – 2018 of Chemical Engineering Department as a part of KAIZEN – 2018 was organized on 12 th& 13th April, 2018. There were 18 groups of B. E. Final Year students and 12 M. E. Final Year students participated in the event. The projects were displayed in the laboratories of Chemical Engineering Department. The projects of the B.E. and M.E. students were displayed in the form of posters supported by the experimental setups, models and laptops. The projects were evaluated by Prof. (Dr.) Nitin Padhiyar, Professor in Chemical Engineering, IIT, andhinagar and Shri. Hemalbhai Sheth, Deedygroup Company. Principal Prof. (Dr.) G. P. Vadodaria along with media personnel and other dignitaries visited the project displayed by students. They took great interest in the projects and encouraged the faculties and students to take up more research activity in the department. Prof. J. K. Vyas, Head, Industrial Pollution Prevention, Center for Environment Education also visited the department and reviewed the projects. The students enthusiastically presented their project work to the other dignitaries and students who visited the department throughout the day. The student who visited the event got information about innovation aspects in Chemical engineering field and its importance in today’s context. All the dignitaries and students who were present during the event gave a very positive feedback about the event.
- Students displayed live projects on topics like passive dew condenser, 4d printing with programmable polymers, plastic composite railway sleepers, Fibre reinforced plastics of polyester resins using various types of natural fibre reinforcements like bamboo fibre, banana fibre, jute fibre , natural fibre with glass fibre ,developments of silica gel for thermal insulation applications and polyester/fly ash composites.
A two week Short Term Training Programme on "Innovation and Advancement in conventional industrial welding practices" is to be organized by Mechanical Engineering Department of L D College of Engineering during 25/5/2018 to 8/6/2018. Please refer the attached brochure for more details.
