He provided research guidelines to all the participants and brought about excess of information with respect to innovative teaching & learning styles for the subject i.e.’ “Thermal Energy Conversion”. Issues like, assessment  of  solar  radiation  on  a  particular  geographical  location  and performance Enhancement   Participants   shared   their   opinions   on  the   particular   topic   with the mentors…. it was an enriching session incorporating the contemporary style of teaching.

On  Day  3,  Dr.  Deepak  Kumar  from  IIT-Delhi  discussed  the  Fundamental  Issues  of Tribology  and  Nano-Mechanics  etc.  He  also  discussed  the  basics  of  lubricants  and lubrication, selection of lubricants for different machine components. He told that wearing of the components is critical issue therefore selection of lubricants is much important. After looking the interest of the participants he invited the participants for research work in Tribology in IIT Delhi.

On Day 4, Prof. S. K. Singal from IIT-Roorkee had discussed some important issues of renewable energy systems which deals with mechanical engineering and also design of small hydro power plants etc. He presented an overview of energy consumption and production in India. He also shared the importance of the site locations for a particular power plant to produce maximum output.

On Day 5 & 6, Prof. Anil Kumar Agarwal from IIT-BHU discussed the concepts of Genetic algorithm. He had also gone through the experimental session for linear part programming. All the participants took the great interest and solve their own problems through the platform. Prof. Anil Agarwal had taken a very interactive session on Industry 4.0 and shown its importance to the production and manufacturing sectors of India.

On Day 7 & 8, Dr. C.P. Khattar from CSIT Ludhiana discussed the Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing. By sharing his industrial experience he not only discussed the challenges in manufacturing sectors but also discussed Buildings simulation through CAD software. He took the tutorial session of CAD and clears the doubts of participants during drafting of engineering components.

On Day 9, Er. Amit Khattar from Yashika Stamping Ludhiana discussed Orthographic Projections & Designing by approaching to MasterCam & Solidworks which are the software for designing, drafting and modeling. Er. Amit Khattar had also taken some interactive sessions on CNC part Programming language and Simulation of different Designed Objects of higher complexity.

On Day 10, Prof. Pradeep Kumar from IIT- Roorkee, discussed the Advancements & Challenges in Manufacturing Process like Casting, Squeezing, Micro-machining etc. Prof. Pradeep Kumar had discussed the Taguchi Method of Quality engineering which has followed by a Case Study. After that he discussed the role of quality and its maintainability for open and closed tolerances components used in automobile sector.

On  Day 11,  Dr.  Meghanshu  Vashishta  from  IIT-BHU  discussed  the  Material Characteristics  and  some  other  important  Machining  Processes.   The   concept  of  tool geometry and tool selection for grinding operations was very interesting. Dr. Vashista discussed the applied forces and angle of tools through a beautiful wood made cutting tool. 

On  Day 12,  An Industrial visit has been arranged to the Metal Handicrafts Service Centre (MHHS, Peetal Nagari, Moradabad) which is an institution established by Government of India which provides best services possible in Metal finishing, Testing & Research and Design development aesthetically and economically. Participants have learnt a lot about testing of different metals exported around the world from the city.

On the last day, we have Prof. A.C. Mathur from Indian Space Research Organization, Ahmadabad and he will share the Advancements in Mechanical engineering and Its challenges in Space Science and Technology.

After last session, a quiz exam (objective type) was conducted for the duration of one hour. Total 41 participants were qualified the exam successfully for the issuance of certificates by respected director of MIT, Dr. Rohit Garg.
