OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
(CONCEPT AND PROPOSAL)
RATIONALE THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY IN HVACR AND OTHER FIELDS HAVE RESULTED IN NUMEROUS CHANGES IN THE HVAC INDUSTRY. GLOBALIZATION HAS LED TO MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES OPERATING OVER A SEVERAL COUNTRIES, REGIONS AND CONTINENTS. AS THE OPERATIONS INCREASE THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE ACADEME BECOMES MORE INTENSIVE AS IT PROVIDES INDUSTRY WITH GRADUATES HAVING SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD.
RECENT DEMANDS ON ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES INCLUDING
SECURING HIGHER OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES, SETS THE NEED FOR GAIN IN KNOWLEDGE IN THESE DIRECTIONS.
THE PRESENT COURSES AND HVAC EQUIPMENT IN THE DEPARTMENT OF
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT BACKGROUND ON THE FUNDAMENTALS OF HVAC AND REFRIGERATION. HOWEVER, ONLY BASIC AND LIMITED RESEARCH CAN BE DONE WITH THE PRESENT EQUIPMENT. UPGRADES ARE NECESSARY FOR GAINING THE ABILITY TO DO MORE RESEARCH IN THE SAID FIELD.
INDUSTRY REQUIRES TRAINING OF THEIR PERSONNEL IN HVAC AND RELATED
FIELDS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. PART OF THE TRAINING INDUSTRY IS LOOKING FOR CONCERNS OBJECTIVES Education and Research Professional Services
