Instructions for Enrolling in the workshop Participating Remote Centers |
Introduction
An important initiative has been taken by IIT Bombay to work with Engineering Colleges in the country, to enhance the teaching skills of our faculty colleagues in core Engineering and Science Subjects. This initiative has now become a part of the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT) supported by MHRD. We have conducted two-week ISTE workshops on Effective teaching/ learning of Computer Programming, Database Management Systems, Thermodynamics in Mechanical Engineering, Basic Electronics, Heat Transfer, Software Development Techniques for Teachers of Engineering and Science Institutes, Solar Photovoltaics, and Writing Effective Conference Papers. These workshops were attended by over 9,900 participating teachers across the country, at 78 remote centers, through distance mode, using the internet.
The participating teachers attended live lectures, given by IIT faculty, at a remote center close to their own college. Tutorial and lab sessions were conducted in the same centers. Each center had a Course Coordinator, who supervised the conduct of tutorials and labs. All the lectures and tutorial sessions were recorded, and the final edited audio-visual contents, along with other course material will be released under Open Source. These contents can be freely used later, by all teachers and students. The resounding success of these workshops, has encouraged us to organize another 2-week workshop on Computational Fluid Dynamics which is scheduled from 12th - 22nd June, 2012. This will include the delivery of live lectures through AVIEW mechanism of interaction with participants and the local conduct of tutorials and labs, using Internet.
The 10-day ISTE workshop on Computational Fluid Dynamics, from 12th to 22nd June 2012, will be conducted simultaneously at 48 remote centers distributed across the country, in the distance mode. Every remote center will have about 30-40 participants. The workshop will include the delivery of live two-way lectures from IIT Bombay, and locally organized tutorial and laboratory sessions. The course will be networked to the remote centers via the internet, using specially developed software called AVIEW.

Who Should Attend
The workshop will benefit faculty colleagues who are teaching or planning to teach Computational Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer at the UG or PG level. Furthermore, they should be either from Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Aerospace, or Metallurgical engineering departments, in their colleges. Background in UG Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and Elementary Numerical Methods, is essential. Knowledge of differential and vector calculus is desired.
Duration and Venue
The duration of the workshop is 2 weeks (10 working days). It will begin on Tuesday 12th June at 09:00 hrs and end at 18:00 hrs on Friday 22nd June 2012 with a day`s break on Sunday 17th June only. Additional contributions from participants are required to be made within the following two weeks.
The venues for the workshop will be 48 remote centers. This brochure contains list of all remote centers.
Course Fee
Since the workshop is funded by the National Mission on Education through ICT (MHRD, Government of India), there is no course fee for participation.
How to Apply
Those wishing to attend this workshop, should enroll online at this website:
Regisration is closed on 28th of May 2012
Enrollment will be strictly online, and no other mode of applications, will be entertained. The online form contains a list of remote centers. From this list, please select a center close to your institute, where you would wish to attend the workshop. Last date for enrollment and for submission of permission letter is, 25th May 2012. A list of selected participants will be put up on this website on 30th May, 2012. The selected participants will also be informed by email.
Accommodation
Remote centers are being funded to provide tea/lunch on each day of the workshop, and for accommodation, wherever available*, for limited number of outstation participants. Travel expenses up to Rs.1000/- will be reimbursed against proof of actual expenditure. * Accommodation is not guaranteed.
Note
Please note that this workshop is conducted by the eOutreach project of IIT Bombay, under the National Mission on Education through ICT. Live recording of the course and other created contents will be released under Open Source through a portal. The recorded CD/DVD of the course lectures will be available for distribution at cost, to any individual/ institutions. All participants are required to sign a authorization for such release of contents contributed by them during and after the workshop. Recognition and citation will naturally be made for all contributors.
