ELIM Virtual University - Enrollment in Fall 2014 Session

Why is it important for engineering students pursuing their under graduate degrees to enroll for specialized courses?

The main reason is to make the students employable in core industries of the relevant disciplines and acquire the skills necessary for specialization in design and implementation of research projects in new areas.

Here is an example of a course for Mechanical Engineering students :   Design of Axial Air Flow Turbines. Related courses in this field are : Dynamics of Axial Air Flow, Still Air Optimization, Micro-dynamics of Still Air, Air Flux Optimization and many more.

These courses are being designed by expert faculty members from reputed global universities in consultation with Industry experts.

Have a look at the following assignment problem given to the students.

Course Title: Dynamics of Axial Air Flow

Key parameter tested: Creative Problem Solving

Credits awarded: 2

Problem definition:

An airplane took 4 hours to fly 1200 miles against a headwind.The return trip with the wind took 3 hours. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind. What is the speed of the wind in still air? What is the wind speed?

Can you solve this problem?

Solution to this problem will be posted in the next post.

Here is an example of a course for Electrical Engineering students in the field of Power and Energy: Design of Energy Efficient Homes.

Related courses in this field are : Energy Optimization Techniques, Principles of Sustainable Energy, Computation of Energy Utilization, Energy Standards (IEEE, NEMA, IEC, ISI etc.)

Other courses include: Energy Audit, Energy Management, Applications of Sensors in Energy Optimization and many more.

One new course in sustainable energy which branches off from wind energy and distributed generation is Micro Wind Turbine Generation. This will also feature in Fall 2014 session.
