The Course follows the prescribed syllabi of Research Methodology designed by the ICSSR, New Delhi. Research scholars from West Bengal and neighbouring states will be preferred.

OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE/WORKSHOP
The prime objective of the 10-Day Research Methodology Workshop in Social Science is to enhance participants’ understanding and application of advanced research methodologies. The course/workshop aims to provide practical skills, theoretical insights, and hands-on training to enable participants to design, conduct, and analyses social science research effectively.
Specifically, the core objective of the workshop is to equip the research scholars with a set of skills and potentialities to undertake the research very effectively in the disciplines of social science and to turn completed research into publishable material of high quality in the form of articles, journals and books. This workshop is designed to offer the practical guidelines and direct the researchers through all the stages of research from identifying a research problem to the submission of a dissertation, report writing and research article. The course intends to deal with a variety of quantitative and qualitative research methods used in social science research. It also gives exposure to data analysis with the help of software packages. The workshop consists of both theory and practical. By the end of the programme they are expected to develop conceptual clarity and practical knowledge to undertake quality research and write good research papers, field-reports and project proposals etc.
This workshop is to provide an overview of the quantitative and qualitative research methods, assist immersion in specific techniques, and engage the participants with the key debates in the area, including those that argue on the essential unity of the logic of inference across research methods—qualitative as well as quantitative. The workshop will also introduce the participants to the key texts in the area of thematic focus, and introduce them to the approaches of qualitative as well as quantitative research methods, specific tools, and techniques of data organization and analysis. The workshop will address some of the issues on research methodology in social sciences and enrich the scholars in their respective field:

VGST Sponsored Free Four-Day Faculty Development Program on Nanotechnology and Its Role in Automotive Industry 18-21, Sept, 2024

Four-Day Faculty Development Program on Nanotechnology and Its Role in Automotive Industry 18-21, Sept, 2024 Organized by Department of Mechanical Engineering, BRLLARI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Sponsored by Vision Group of Science & Technology, Bengaluru

About FDP
Nanotechnology is playing an increasingly significant role in the automotive industry. Development of nano based advanced, lighter materials with superior properties enhance various aspects of vehicle performance, safety. and manufacturing while improving fuel efficiency as well.
This nano technology aids in production of advanced sensors and electronic components that are smaller. more sensitive, and more reliable applied in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), collision avoidance. and real-time monitoring of vehicle performance. Further, contributed to development of advanced airbag systems, improved impact-resistant materials, and advanced nano-coated glass for better visibility
and reduction of glare.
The nano technology can improve thermal management for efficient dissipation of heat from engines. Advanced nano coatings for automotive
surfaces provide improved scratch resistance, better corrosion protection, and self-cleaning properties reducing maintenance.
In electric vehicles (EVs), nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving battery performance. Overall. nanotechnology is helping the automotive industry advance towards more efficient. safer. and environmentally friendly vehicles, contributing to both performance improvements and cost reductions.

Topics
The role of nanotechnology and nano materials in design and development of automotive and aerospace products.
Nanotechnology in Automotive steels.
Use of nanomaterial’s in Bio-Composites for low load applications in the Automotives.
Nanotechnology for automotive application: Opportunities and Challenges.
Development of nano-structure for metal 3D printing.
Effect of nano-structure for metal 3D printing.
