Detail about the STTP:
The institutions of higher education in India are facing crucial challenges in creating,
nurturing and maintaining the level of quality engineers. The need of the hour is to provide
quality engineers amongst the budding higher educational institutions and industries to cope
up with future challenges and in strong fundamentals. Today, Institutes find themselves
technically constrained while promoting technical skills due to lack of resources in line with
industry needs. So, there is an urgency of developing and understanding in designing and carry
out research that can employ skilled engineers and research scholars. The aim of the training
programme is to provide a techno-environment that promotes interaction, discussion, and
intellectual networking among the participants and renowned experts in the area of pressure
vessel. The unique feature of training programme is to elaborate the basic concept of pressure
vessel designing with ASME codes. The contents of the course covers sufficient depth, to
provide participants with a general understanding of pressure vessel design requirements as
per industry requirement to design the pressure vessel and various components.
