Research Initiatives: Bio-energy Research
Technology to Convert Agriculture Waste into Energy
 The goal is to make people aware of alternatives to burning with the
application of our technology that can add value to their lives
 This particular project aims at rural households to provide them
electricity using their own agricultural wastes
Video Link of Bio-Harvest:http://www.iitrpr.ac.in/aston-university-iit-ropar-research-project-event
IIT Ropar in collaboration with Aston University, European Bioenergy
Research Institute, and The Oglesby Charitable Trust has developed a
technology for converting agricultural waste into energy

Initiatives in Multidisciplinary Research
• Bio-Medical Engineering / Health Care
20
Research Initiatives: Biomedical
Engineering Research
 To bring in synergy between
fundamental
and
applied
sciences,
engineering,
and
medicine
 To facilitate teaching, research,
and
entrepreneurship
in
diagnostics and therapy
 About 24 faculty members of
the institute are participating in
the activities of this program
A biomedical engineering program was established in 2013 to meet
the challenge of providing affordable healthcare. This program will
facilitate innovation in biomedical research to find solutions to our
21
healthcare needs.
Prof. G D Puri and Drs. Preeti Mathew from PGI and Navin Kumar
from IIT Ropar have successfully developed a closed loop
anaesthesia delivery system (CLADS). The institute will develop
CLADS into a wireless device after the technology transfer.

Innovation in teaching and Curriculum
updation – B. Tech Level
• Tablet PC are being used in classroom teaching and shared with
Students on Google drive. Lectures are also recorded and put on
Google drive for use of students at all time.
• Flipped lectures are being introduced for certain courses. Students
are encouraged to apply their classroom learning to solve basic and
challenging problems.
• Courses are sandwiched with mini projects and problem solving
exercises for “active learning” mode.
Following new courses have been developed and
taught for UG Students:1. Computer Aided design and manufacturing
2. Sustainability science and technology
3. Medical devices
4. Biology for engineers
5. Power systems – from fundamentals to network
6. Embedded systems and applications
7. Power electronic devices and circuits
8. Software architecture
Following are some of new laboratories have been built
for hands on training of B.Tech Students
1. Bio-Medical Engineering laboratory
2. Bio-Mechanical creativity and Innovation laboratory .
3. Clean and sustainable energy laboratory
4. Engine research laboratory
5. Complex fluids laboratory
