Transcript of Polymer Engineering Department Objectives and Goals Modules ...
Polymer Engineering DepartmentPolymer Engineering Department came into
existence in the year 1983 as a part of
Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Pune.
It is the only institute offering an Undergraduate,
Post Graduate course and Research Center in
Polymer Engineering under the aegis of Pune
University.
Objectives and GoalsThe department aims at establishing and obtaining the recognition as research
center by building excellent testing and characterization facilities and offers this
service to small, medium ands large-scale industries.
The department aims at building the bridge between the industry & academia by
the way of continuous interaction with the industry.
To provide best Infrastructure in the form of State-of-Art laboratories, equipments,
computing and library facilities.

The students are well versed with softwares like AutoCad, Mold Flow, ProE, Catia,
Advanced Composite Laminate Design.
Students undergo In-Plant Training for a month after their third year which exposes
them to the latest trends in the industry.
Polymer Students AssociationThe objectives of PSA are:
To develop a long-term association with the industry and to bridge
the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
To increase awareness among the students about the advances made
in the world of polymer engineering and to provide exposure to the
research taking place in the field.
Activities of PSA
Affinity and Confluence
Affinity and Confluence is a national level technical paper presentation competition
arranged by the PSA in the college campus since 2003. Various colleges from all over
the country participate in this event and is supported by the industry.
On the whole, PSA aims to expand the domain of its activities in the coming years
and possibly work in a tandem with the other polymer associations in the country.
Confluence aims at an interactive session between eminent industrialists,
academicians and students therefore enlightening the students with the latest
entrepreneurial trends
Affinity also taps upon its massive Alumni database to bridge the gap between the
past and the present aiming towards a brighter future
From Head of DepartmentAffinity & Confluence were started by Polymer Student Association. It helps them
hone the organizational skills. It is heartening to see students from different parts
of the country participating in the paper presentation competition. Faculty of
Polymer Engineering Department wishes them all the success.
A lecture was organized for the students of Second, Third and Final year students by
PSA which was guided by Dr. Vikas Nadkarni. An entrepreneur, eminent professor,
consultant, researcher with several patents to his name, he shared with the students
his several real life experiences in various fields. He imparted his knowledge and
answered every doubt and query put up by the students to their full satisfaction.
The 2 hour long session proved to be very beneficial to the students.
Guest Lecture by Dr. Nadkarni
PSA invites eminent personalities as speakers from various industries and research
organizations as a part of its regular activities. These lectures pertain to Polymer
Science and Technology, Management and Entrepreneurship. It also organizes
industrial visits regularly to various industries in the city which helps students
understand various industrial processes practically.
