It seems “rats are healthier than an average Indian” Dr. H.A.B. Parpia, renowned food scientist and United Nations food expert, said: “Six rats eat the food of one man and an average rat in the country is more nutritionally healthy than an average Indian.” He pointed out that food loss during the post- harvest stage was 30 per cent to 35 per cent while the loss of perishable products was 50 per cent.
Food saved is equal to food produced and water conserved. Even though India is the 2nd largest food producer in the world, it wastes more than Rs 58, 000 crore worth of food each year. The food wastage in India is mainly attributed to poor food storage and inferior food processing techniques. Our country is in need of superior engineering services to develop trouble free logistics, hi tech storage facilities and food processing machineries which can handle mammoth amount of food products. Young engineers must note the huge potential in food engineering which could be very lucrative in the near future and not to mention the 'need of the hour'.

This is a list of websites, we cannot afford to ignore, being engineers, in other words, these are few websites from which engineers like us can largely benefit. This list is open to modification, hence I welcome modifications and new additions in the current list. Enjoy!!!!
A website packed full of formula for Fluid Mechanics, Failure Criteria, Finance and loads of things that don’t begin with F too. A great site for lovers of Greek letters and other squiggles. Other parts of the site have information on materials, units, design and maths.
A great site, well structured into various engineering categories that lets you drill down to find the information you need. The flow of the site is a little spoiled by too many Google Ads links, but that is just a minor irritation.
Not strictly an engineering resource, but LinkedIn is a great place to network with fellow engineers (it’s a bit like Facebook for grown-ups) and has some really useful special interest groups for sharing knowledge, meeting like-minded professionals and exchanging job opportunities.
Calling itself “The Engineering Search Engine”, GlobalSpec is packed full of engineering products and suppliers. Has some great email newsletters and product alert emails.
Whenever we need bit of extra background information for an office discussion this website is one of our first ports of call. Packed full of straightforward explanations
Again, not strictly an engineering site, but Wikipedia can’t be ignored when seeking information. Much has been made of the possible innaccuracies of Wikipedia’s articles, but genarally the scientific and engineering pages are well maintained.
A fantastic site for students or anyone new to engineering. Or just about anyone who enjoys quirky science projects and engineering themed games and activities. We all need a little light relief, right?
Another bit of fun to finish with. Fun-Engineering (maintained by Prof. Jim McGovern of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Dublin Institute of Technology) is a great little site, full of engineering gems.
Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) based Solar Water Heaters
Evacuated Tube Collector is made of double layer borosilicate glass tubes evacuated for providing insulation. Totally there are 15 evacuated glass tubes in a 125 LPD solar heater. The outer wall of the inner tube is coated with selective absorbing material which helps absorption of solar radiation and transfers the heat to the water which flows through the inner tube.
This Project was jointly developed by Vinoth, Vignesh, Anuraam, Vinayak, Jobin.
Auto-summarization is a technique used to generate summaries of electronic documents.
This has some applications like summarizing the search-engine results, providing briefs of big documents that do not have an abstract etc.
There are two categories of summarizers, linguistic and statistical.
The application we developed can be used to provide the abstract of a very lengthy document in just 10-15 lines.We made use of Scoring Algorithms to find the frequency of words that occur in a document.We are extending it to provide the summarization of Search engine Results.
Dear students, A program has been announced by "Consultancy Development Center" from the ministry of science and technology, by which you can actually test the waters of Professional Technical Consultancy. Consultants are those professionals who help industries or any commercial entity with their ideas and knowledge, through this program you'll get an opportunity to consult, thereby actually you can sell your ideas in the form of project report.
Fellowship amount: Rs. 10,000/- for each project report
Evaluation Procedure: Your project should be commercially viable.
