The Department of Energy Science and Engineering offers graduates in mechanical, chemical, electrical engineering and other allied engineering disciplines an opportunity to specialize in the field of energy (leading to a M.Tech. or Ph.D. degree). The DESE is inter-disciplinary in nature and has the following areas of research:
Energy Efficiency / Improvements in Conventional Supply Systems
Renewable Energy Systems
Nuclear Energy
The DESE faculty have developed strong linkages with government organizations
like the Ministry of
Non-conventional Energy Sources, Atomic Energy Regulatory
Board, Department of Atomic Energy and several industrial organisations (like
Forbes Marshall, Maharashtra
Electricity Regulatory Commission, International
Energy Initiative). The Department of Energy Science and Engineering provides the
facilities,
atmosphere and experience that can help engineers and researchers to develop
sustainable energy systems and solutions for the future.
