Course Overview
Many products today are manufactured in the particulate form. These include pigments, cement, ceramic, catalysts, and pharmaceuticals. Understanding the physical mechanisms of these products and adequately handling their fine particles is a crucial step in manufacturing. The course in Mechanical Operation will teach you about the design and characteristics of these fine particles.
The candidates who enroll in the Mechanical Operation course will gain knowledge about the Science and Technology of particulate matter. This multidisciplinary field integrates several scientific disciplines and provides a well-rounded experience. The candidates will also learn about the critical physical process related to particles, solving mathematical equations, and the important tenets of particle size reduction.
This 4-week long course in Mechanical Operation by Swayam is taught by experienced faculty from IIT Roorkee. This is an undergraduate-level course, wherein Swayam will test candidates in their skills through regular assignments. The programme is free for all and the certification, which is paid, is optional.
