In order to cater to the needs of the ever-growing and fast-changing world, the Chemical Engineering Department has established linkages with other departments, academia, industries and research institutes. This move has assisted its students as well as faculty members in realising the needs and challenges of research, academic and industry alliances and helped in imparting teaching beyond the curriculum.
Over and above these linkages, the department also aims to explore the other alliances of Institute of Technology.
Highlights:
MoU with Umagine Hydrogen Private Limited: The Department of Chemical Engineering has signed an MoU with Umagine Hydrogen Private Limited. The Parties wish to build mutual cooperation to learn, assimilate, and develop their core strengths, experience, and institutional objectives in the public interest of advancement of training, research, studies, consultancy, and technology development in issues and areas related to the development of sustainability, carbon neutrality, synthetic fuels, low-carbon hydrogen generation, green hydrogen, hydrogen application in ammonia production, refinery mobility, energy storage, gasification, pyrolysis etc. To this end, the Parties will work together in a wide variety of fields to achieve the goals of environmental sustainability and share experiences, research studies, etc.
MoU with Composite Excellence Center of Asia
A Memorandum of Understanding was established between the Institute of Technology at Nirma University and the Composite Excellence Center of Asia. The purpose of this collaboration is to synergize their efforts, combining expertise and resources to emphasize the significance of research and development in the field of Composites. Additionally, the parties aim to provide industrial training to students specializing in engineering, technology, and sciences.
Recognizing the critical need to cultivate a substantial pool of highly qualified professionals across various domains related to design development, tool designs, and the appropriate manufacturing methodology of Composites, both institutions have joined forces through this MoU.
Dr Mamta Saiyad played an instrumental role in executing this MoU. We may utilize the MoU for the department’s benefit. Along with our department Civil and Mechanical Department will also be actively utilizing the MoU.
