PSG College of Technology
PSG College of Technology established in the year 1951 by the PSG & Sons' Charities
Trust is an AICTE approved autonomous institution affiliated to Anna University,
Coimbatore and is an ISO 9001:2000 certified institution. PSG College of Technology
believes in creating and disseminating knowledge and skills in core and frontier
disciplines through innovative educational programmes, industrial training,
research and consultancy and developing a new cadre of professionals with a high
level of competence, deep sense of social commitment and ethics.
Department of Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical Engineering Department was established in the year 2006. It offers an Under
Graduate programme in Biomedical Engineering and a Post Graduate programme in
Nanotechnology. The objectives of the Department are to enable the PG students to
acquire integrated experience in the design and development of MEMS / NEMS devices
and development of Nanomaterials, to offer training on specific topics of interest in the
areas of Nanotechnology and to pay adequate attention to the Indian Conditions, needs
and resources of urban and rural areas while training the students.
About the Workshop
The field of Nanomaterials is inspiring major research efforts around the globe with
its endless possibilities.
MEMS is also a promising field in this Century for its potential in making smaller,
lighter and more functional devices at lower cost.
But the major challenge is to understand the fundamentals for the growth of these
fields and their control over the environment. This workshop aims to merge these
two fields to open the scope for new research.
The objectives of the workshop are to widen our views on the topics such as
* Smart Nanomaterials : A Quick Tour
* Nanostructured Coatings for Engineering Applications
* MEMS Devices and their influence in Industry
* Introduction to intelliSuite : A Computer Aided Engineering Tool
