IIT Bombay Piping Engineering Course 2011

IIT Bombay Piping Engineering Course 2011

Certificate courses in piping engineering for mechanical/chemical engineering graduates

Piping Engineering is a truly multidisciplinary subject. It draws its knowledge base from chemical, mechanical, civil, electrical, metallurgical, instrumentation, control engineering, to name a few. Traditionally, chemical or mechanical engineers have taken to this profession and it is believed that about 10 years on-job experience and exposure can make a few gifted ones 'piping engineers' in real sense. Design/engineering sector as well as operating companies have always yearned for a formal training programme in piping engineering so that this slow self-training approach could be replaced by a fast track. Against this background the present course emerged.
The activity was institutionalized through the formation of a Piping Engineering Cell in CAD Centre which now conducts this course. The acceptance of the course by the industry has virtually forced the hands of various software houses and the Piping Engineering Cell has now a collection of most state-of-the-art piping engineering software. These are extensively used during the course.
The open course is conducted twice every year, the winter edition beginning in the first or second week of December and the Summer edition in the first or second week of May. These are calendar events. Enrollment for the Winter 2011 course is now open. Please note that the medium of instruction in the course is English.

The admissions are strictly on first-come-first- served basis and would close latest by November 21, 2011. Please note that this is the last closing date and admissions are normally closed as soon as the seats are full. As per past experience, seats would be full well before the last date.
To register, the accompanying registration form or its Xeroxes may be used. Completed registration form along with Demand Draft for requisite amount drawn in favor of Registrar, IIT Bombay, CEP Account must reach the course coordinator on or before the appropriate last dates mentioned above.

IGNOU ILS Wheebox to Boost Employment Opportunities

IGNOU ILS Wheebox to Boost Employment Opportunities

The Indira Gandhi National Open University’s (IGNOU’s) Campus Placement Cell (CPC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Integrated Learning Solution Pvt. Ltd (ILS) to incorporate an open resource model called Wheebox, a learning tool for students and educators to promote and manage learning in India and abroad.

Wheebox Cloud based platform is one of the research based instructional design innovations of ILS which would help IGNOU learners to achieve better insights into their strengths and improvement area of employment.

WHEEBOX globally enables educators and students to get access to resources and tools to manage learning. WHEEBOX allows Institutions and corporations large digital resources deployments across globe and manage learning outcomes from thousands of students.

According to the MoU, IGNOU shall add a link to ILS website, www.Wheebox.com on its home page and also agrees to promote it on its own website.
