Consortium.
IIT Delhi Mechanical Engineering Department
and Institute of Production Management,
Technology and Machine Tools (PTW), Technical
University of Darmstadt have signed an MOU
on 30-07-2007 during visit of German
Chancellor Angela Merkel to India to start a
bilateral research project Designing Lean
Production Equipment and Manufacturing
Systems with funding from BMBF, Germany
and DST, India.
Along with KTH Sweden, Loughborough
University, UK and IIT Roorkee, IIT Delhi
participated in development of UG/PG
curricula in the area of Sound and Vibrations.
This was carried out as a part of EU Asia Link
Project involving above institutes. New set of
UG and PG courses in area of Sound and
Vibrations have been developed as a part of
this collaborative effort.
Department has MOU with Ecole Centrale de
Lille, France with Prof N Bhatnagar as
