The Department of Ceramic Engineering, started
in 1994 with a commited equipment grant of Rs. 15 Lakhs from
Ministry of Human Resource Development, is now completing the
final phase of it's laboratory development. In addition to the
laboratories for chemical analysis, fuel testing, thermal
analysis and high temperature work, the department has a full
fledged Ceramic Workshop including facilities for Whiteware
Refractories and Glass with a cement testing laboratory.
The Department has a current generation X-ray Diffractometer
and an advanced microscope having bright field, dark
field, polarization and interference mode. An advanced facility
for Electronic Ceramic has been established recently.
The department, thus, is equipped to offer a degree programme
with equal emphasis on traditional as well as modern ceramics.
The Department is capable enough to start Master Degree Programme
in Ceramic Engineering and steps have been taken for the same.
Four Batches have graduated from the department with students
finding placement in industries as also in institutions of higher
learning in India and abroad. A few students of the department
go abroad every year for higher studies. The students have received
appreciation for their academic preparation. The Department
has received sponsored project from MHRD and has developed linkages
with industry (Tata Refractories Limited, IFGL, ORIND etc.
) and other research laboratories (RCDIS, SAIL, Ranchi,
CGCRI, Kolkata etc.) Within a short span of time our department
has been recognised as a Center of Relevance and Excellence
(CORE) in the field of Ceramics by MHRD. We are likely to
receive an additional grant for the same from the Department
of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. |
