Research & Development Cell
UEC has established a Research and Development Cell (R & D) with a Chairman and members nominated from each department to provide valuable suggestions / inputs in carrying out the research work of the institution. The R & D cell of UEC aims to nurture research culture in the College by promoting research in newly emerging and challenging areas of Engineering, Technology, Science and Humanities. It facilitates and encourages research culture among the faculty and students. The prime role of R & D Cell is to facilitate, channelize, record, and regulate all the academic, sponsored and collaborative research projects in the college.
Functions of R & D cell
- To identify the potential areas of research in various disciplines of engineering and form the faculty into various clusters based on their specialization.
- To prepare and submit proposals to government agencies like AICTE, UGC, DST, IE(I) etc for obtaining funded projects.
- To encourage multi-disciplinary research internally within the institute and externally with other organizations.
- Series exam result publishing.
- Encourage the staff to attend/publish papers in various National/International conferences of their specialised areas.
- To coordinate the research activities among the various departments of the college.
- Encourage the faculty to attend various research-oriented Faculty development programmes.
