INNOVATIVE STUDENT PROJECTS AWARD – 2008
Introduction
The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE), established in 1987, is a ‘Peer’ body of some of the most distinguished engineers in India and abroad. The salient objects of the Academy are to promote the advancement of and excellence in the practice of engineering and technology and the related science disciplines and their application to problems of national importance. The Academy also aims at presenting research and development activities in engineering at academic and professional forums in India and abroad. INAE encourages inventions, scientific investigations and research, and promotes their application for development of all sectors of the national economy.
In order to provide impetus to the economic growth of the country and its development, it is important to promote leading edge indigenous technologies which are innovative, cost effective and appropriate for our environment. Therefore, there is a need to encourage research and development culture amongst engineers during the formative years of their undergraduate and postgraduate training, so that they begin their professional career well prepared with ideas and innovative skills.
The Academy instituted the above scheme of Awards and is implementing it since 1998, to identify innovative and creative research projects undertaken by the students and scholars in the engineering institutions, and to give an early recognition and incentives to them. The Academy firmly believes that an early recognition of merit and talent is important which can mark the beginning of a brilliant career.
Objectives
to encourage young engineers to engage themselves in industry oriented research.
to promote joint projects among Industry, Research Laboratories and Academic Institutions.
to induce Industry to take up further development of the recognized projects, which may ultimately become new and innovative industrial processes or products and may give first-in-the market advantage.
