Introduction
The whole world faces a daunting array of energy & environment related challenges, which would be decisive factors in sustainable economic and industrial growth and technological innovations. There is a necessity for utilization of energy in a rational manner without overloading the carrying capacity of ecosystem and depriving the ingenuity of the future generation. In fact, sustainable development with a minimum environmental degradation has become the motto of energy engineering. The importance of these aspects has received a new momentum in the recent past with the concerns & mechanisms originated by international level activities such as ISO14000 on environmental aspects in the industrial sector, Montreal protocol and Kyoto protocol in relation to climate change.
Therefore the energy sector should never be analyzed in isolation but with interrelation to environment and society. For such analysis, a sound knowledge on all the related areas and associated skills are vital not only for technical aspects of energy but also for managing, advising and policy making in the sector, through well structured and planned educational framework. As such, the Postgraduate Programme in Energy Technology is developed with reference to synthesis of trends in sources, technologies and relevant environmental and social aspects. Detailed design aspects of energy systems and related issues are also incorporated in the programme. The knowledge and experience imparted by the Postgraduate programme will flow downwards to the technician level where operational & maintenance aspects of energy technology occur.
The curriculum of the postgraduate studies in Energy Technology enhances the knowledge and skills of the participants in many areas. Some of the specific objectives of the course are;
-
Diffuse the fundamental knowledge and state of the art of the Engineering Science involved in Energy conservation & utilization.
-
Provide an environment to foster the attainment of Research & Development targets related to the Energy sector.
-
Enhance the knowledge of Engineers in contributing to national, regional & global energy environmental issue and clean & efficient technologies.
