REPORT ON ONE WEEK FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

ON

RECENT ADVANCES IN PHOTONICS Under TEQIP, Phase III

at

Department of Instrumentation, Jorhat Engineering College

A one week Faculty Development Program (FDP) on RECENT ADVANCES IN PHOTONICS was organized at the Department of Instrumentation Engineering , Jorhat Engineering College, Jorhat under the Twinning Program Initiative of Malnad College of Engineering, Hassan and Jorhat Engineering College under TEQIP, Phase III from December-03, 2018 to December - 08, 2018 with IEEE Photonics Society, India Chapter as the academic partner. The two participating Departments were the Department of Instrumentation, Jorhat Engineering College and Department of Electronics and Instrumentation, Malnad College of Engineering, Hassan.The main objective of this program is to make the participants aware of the recent developments in photonics and nanotechnology so that they can update their knowledge in this area and explore for further research. It was also expected that as the participants are all faculties of different educational institutions, the knowledge gained will be shared and further passed on to the students. The FDP was attended by 54 participants from faculty members of ECE, EE,ME,IE, Physics, Mathematics, Zoology, Chemistry department of different colleges.
