Visakhapatnam: Department of Mechanical Engineering, GITAM Institute of Technology (GIT), GITAM, organised a ‘National conference on material and manufacturing’ here on Friday.
Speaking at the conference, Scientist-D, DMRL, Hyderabad, Dr Phani Surya Kiran Mylavarapu advised that students should learn upon their own interest rather depending on faculty.
He explained importance of advance material research. He has also given a brief introduction about the miniaturised material and its applications in the conference.
Director (Project) of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant PC Mohapatra spoke about how India is the only country which can continue to develop as it has a huge work force of young students.
He gave a brief about the materials and manufacturing and spoke about steel plant and how India is one of the top producers of steel and opportunities in energy plants.
This would help in enhancing the interest and employability of their students in the manufacturing sector, particularly those related to advanced composite material, he added.
Delivering the presidential address, Vice-Chancellor of GITAM Prof MS Prasada Rao explained that inter departmental knowledge is vital for an engineer with an example of a stunt used when there is an artery blockage.
Operation requires a cardiologist and the manufacturing of the stunt requires a mechanical, chemical and a material science researcher, thereby explaining that expertise in a single branch is no more useful as every sector is interconnected and serves the nation, the Vice-Chancellor added.
