16 February, 2023

The session on "Prototype/Process Design and Development" is organized under the banner of the Student Start-Up and Innovation Policy and the Institution's Innovation Council, and aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the design and development process for a prototype. The session will cover key steps involved in transforming an idea into a tangible product and will focus on developing skills to create an effective prototype.

Key Features:

• Organizing Department: Chemical Engineering Department
• Expert Name: Dr. Jignesh R. Mehta, Assistant Professor, M.S. University, Baroda
• Date: 16thFebruary 2023 (2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.)

Discussion Points:

• Identify the importance of observation to generate and refine ideas
• Define the research gap before moving on to process/prototype development
• Create 2D/3D drawings to visualize the design of the prototype
• Design the process and mechanical aspects of the prototype
• Fabricate the prototype with practical constraints in mind
• Consider the importance of process parameters and choice of materials in the design
• Validate the prototype through experimental observation to ensure it meets the desired objectives
