R&D

Research and Development (R and D) is a prime objective of D Y Patil College of Engineering (DYPCOE). It is the foundation of the continuing education to create the knowledge for all disciplines. It directly contributes towards the enhancement of the society as whole considering health, culture, economic development and the advancement of nation.

R and D at DYPCOE encompasses by the principles of honesty, integrity, trust, accountability and stewardship; meets high scientific and ethical standards; and is conducted with honest and thoughtful inquiry, rigorous analysis, and accountability for the use of professional standards for the benefit of society.

Research is a precursor to discovery and innovation. DYPCOE recognizing the importance of research, has initiated rigorous R & D activities in the institute. We have envisioned becoming a well-known name in research and development activities. Our immediate goal is to encourage excellence in research, publications and Intellectual Property Rights (IPs) activities at Department as well as Institute level. We are self-motivated to publish quality research results in National and International Conferences and Journals.

To enrich the Learning Process among the faculties and students, we host Seminars and Workshops, Conferences of well-known personalities from Academia and Industries. The R & D Cell is also getting inputs from Industries and funding Agencies.

I, as the Coordinator of Research and Development Cell, invite all the students joining the Institute at graduate, post graduate and doctorate level to make use of the facilities and resources offered by the Institute to nurture their talent and contribute their ideas for the growth of R & D Culture.
