Major Achievements of Undergraduate Students 20 Hindustan Times, Saturday, 1 December 2012 Mr. Abhisaar Sharma Mr Abhishek Kumar Arora

Initiatives in Multidisciplinary Research 20 Bio-Medical Engineering / Health Care

Research Initiatives: Biomedical Engineering Research  To bring in synergy between fundamental and applied sciences, engineering, and medicine  To facilitate teaching, research, and entrepreneurship in diagnostics and therapy  About 24 faculty members of the institute are participating in the activities of this program A biomedical engineering program was established in 2013 to meet the challenge of providing affordable healthcare. This program will facilitate innovation in biomedical research to find solutions to our healthcare needs. 21

Prof. G D Puri and Drs. Preeti Mathew from PGI and Navin Kumar from IIT Ropar have successfully developed a closed loop anaesthesia delivery system (CLADS). The institute will develop CLADS into a wireless device after the technology transfer. 22

Undergraduate Teaching Incubation and Innovation 23

Innovation in teaching and Curriculum updation – B. Tech Level Tablet PC are being used in classroom teaching and shared with Students on Google drive. Lectures are also recorded and put on Google drive for use of students at all time. Flipped lectures are being introduced for certain courses. Students are encouraged to apply their classroom learning to solve basic and challenging problems. Courses are sandwiched with mini projects and problem solving exercises for “active learning” mode.

Following new courses have been developed and taught for UG Students:- 1.Computer Aided design and manufacturing 2.Sustainability science and technology 3.Medical devices 4.Biology for engineers 5.Power systems – from fundamentals to network 6.Embedded systems and applications 7.Power electronic devices and circuits 8.Software architecture

Following are some of new laboratories have been built for hands on training of B.Tech Students 1.Bio-Medical Engineering laboratory 2.Bio-Mechanical creativity and Innovation laboratory. 3.Clean and sustainable energy laboratory 4.Engine research laboratory 5.Complex fluids laboratory

XLPAT Labs  Xlpat Labs is a platform for automated and user friendly patent tools- optimizing search time  Developed innovative patent analysis tools  Developed tools for automatic tracking of new patents in a specific area  Supported from PDIF funds GreedyGame  Innovative platform for blending ads into mobile games  Game developers as well as advertisers gain  Started by IIT Ropar alumni  Supported from TIDE funds Omnipresent Robotics  An innovative company in the area of Robotics, Electronic Sensing and Intelligent Electronics  Develops state-of-the-art Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and River Cleaning Robots  Omnipresent is Gold Medal Winner of DST – Lockheed Martin “India Innovation Growth Program” and a recipient of CNN India Positive Award  Supported from PDIF funds Supported Technology and Knowledge Based Entrepreneurship through Center for Innovation and Business Incubation (CIBI)
