Course Objective

Buildings contribute to one-third of the total energy consumption in India. With the rising urban population and booming construction sector, a rapid growth in buildings is expected in the next few decades. Steering this growth to more green and energy efficient buildings is hence of paramount importance to address the energy and climate change crisis. This lecture will give a macro level overview of the relationship between building sector and energy sector and touch upon the following topics:

• Energy production and consumption and the role of building sector in India
• Typical energy usage in buildings
• Life-cycle energy analysis of buildings
• Passive solar architecture and integration of sustainable technologies in buildings
• Green building rating systems
• Buildings, its occupants and the larger environment

Successful or appropriate design is that which meets the users` requirements and aspirations, is economical, safe, durable, aesthetically pleasing and socially relevant. The fast depletion of resources and environmental concerns has led to sustainability also becoming a major design issue. There is a growing concern to limit over consumption due to the increase in our technological prowess. We need to overcome our culture of use and throw, and replace it with reduce, reuse and recycle. This would help to ensure that our future generations have a better world to live in.

"We have not inherited the world from our forefathers but have borrowed it from our children" -

This lecture discusses the context sensitive approach to sustainable building design. Traditional wisdom has always propagated this approach, it just needs to be rediscovered or reinvented for contemporary times. Context in this lecture refers to climatic, regional, economical and technological. This is illustrated by case studies in a rural and an urban setting. The lecture will aim at answering the following questions:

• Is sustainable design difficult to achieve?
• What about cost?
• Does sustainable design restrict design freedom?
• Are there tools available?

The intention of this lecture is to help students, faculty and professionals to overcome misgivings about sustainable design. It should not be perceived as an obstacle but as an opportunity to design better, influence and develop new thoughts, as well as to enhance career prospects.

The quantification of the thermal performance of a building is desirable to evaluate various designs and help in evolving suitable design for realizing energy efficiency. The lecture would explain various heat exchange processes taking place in a building and external environment. Several techniques are available for estimating the performance of building. They would briefly be discussed and the type of results available would be indicated.

Sustainability is not really an original concept; especially for Indians. Since generations, the idea of sustainability has pervaded every aspect of our lives and it has manifested itself in the built form as well.

And that`s exactly what vernacular traditions are all about. There is a rich legacy of settlements, buildings and structures of all kinds and scales that are truly inspirational and living examples of sustainability. There is a huge diversity of materials, climatic response and building technology as the country has a very varied terrain, geology and cultural diversity along with the climatic variations. So this is almost like a built encyclopedia that is a time tested proven technology that belongs to everyone and no one in particular.

However, a lot of things have changed in the recent past, the last century in particular. The major events that have changed life, the perspective towards it and particularly the approach to built forms and sustainability have been factors like an explosive population growth, urbanization, globalization, mass production and the accompanying consumerism and ease of transportation and of course, the dwindling finite resources. Along with these there have been inventions of new materials, building technologies and digital tools.

The question then, is how and to what extent can this source of vernacular be carried forward and how far is it applicable and in what ways. What is the way ahead for sustainability in the scenario where the population numbers and their lifestyle aspirations have the biggest impact on the morphology of settlements, the way people want their living and work spaces to function and the way architects respond to these stimuli.

Buildings account for a significant portion of society’s energy use. The end uses are cooking, space cooling, space heating, refrigeration, lighting, motive power and appliances. We review the renewable energy technologies available for meeting these loads – solar thermal, solar photovoltaics, wind, geothermal heat pumps and biomass gasification . We provide some examples of applications and indications of the advantages and barriers of the use of renewable energy for buildings.

This would be a brief lecture about the framework of the competition and the concept house that we have designed so far. The lecture would touch upon the need for sustainable construction to meet India`s exponentially growing energy and housing demands. It also contains some information about the innovations made by the team of students to navigate this complex problem. Finally, we share some insights on the importance of building interdisciplinary design processes to reach an optimum solution that is both architecturally appealing and technically sound.

Course Objective

There has been an increase in the number of young and ambitious people, who are keenly exploring technology entrepreneurship. There have been many efforts to encourage this trend, notably by the National Entrepreneurship Network (NeN) run by Wadhwani foundation, and by the Department of Science and Technology through its active support for setting up Technology incubators.

The youth involved in these start-ups, have a fair idea of the technology being used. They understand the basics of building a company from scratch, making and altering business plans, estimating cash flows, engagement with VCs, etc. However, one challenge that is faced is the lack of understanding the importance of marketing. Even those who learn the basics of marketing, are often unable to apply these to the real life situation of a start-up.

IIT Bombay, had conducted workshop to address this special need. The lectures were transmitted live, and were received at various remote centres across the country, through synchronous distance mode, along with the interaction of participants.

The topic includes:
Elaborate on the basics of marketing, Address specific issues, which are of prime concern to young technology start-ups
Help them decide the right marketing approach and strategy.

Need for Marketing Mantra
Marketing and Customer Values
Segmentation and Targeting
Discussion on Case of RHINO ALMIRAHS
Product Brands and Differentiation

Course Objective

There is a huge need for manpower training in the area of VLSI Design and Embedded Systems. The widely quoted report from Dr. F. C. Kohli and several reports from the Indian Semiconductor Association have emphasized the growing gap between the demand and availability of quality manpower in these areas. Simultaneously, there is a great shortfall in the number of trained faculty required in these areas. Therefore, we need a series of courses, which will enable faculty with the required background to teach courses in this important area. The courses should be tailored to cover the topics included in the courses for VLSI and Embedded Systems curricula. This course is the first in a series of courses planned. In this short-term course, we will explain how to teach the topics included in the course Analog and Mixed Signal Design.

Course Objective

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has been actively involved in providing support to start-up enterprises ever since 1999 when it set up an IT business incubator in the Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology. The success of this incubator led to the establishment of a full-fledged technology business incubator to include companies from non-IT sectors as well. The Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE) was set up in 2004 to administer this incubator. The success enjoyed by SINE and its incubatee companies initiated the urge to take entrepreneurship incubation further, and to assist in the development of incubation activities happening elsewhere in the country.

The three-and-a-half day workshop on œEstablishing and operating a Business Incubator� is aimed towards sharing the knowledge and the expertise gained by IIT Bombay and SINE during the past years, with other individuals and institutes interested in setting up similar incubators. The workshop intends to take the participants through an exhaustive guided tour of the entire process of setting up of a business incubator and of operating it using best-of-breed processes to help entrepreneurs build strong and lasting business companies. The workshop will include talks by leading experts in the field, and sharing of experiences by past and present companies of the IIT Bombay incubator and SINE.

Course Objective

As enterprises seek to keep up with fast changing market conditions, the software platform that they operate their businesses on must change at the same pace. However the existing software paradigms of client server or even multi-tier computing with standards such as J2EE do allow for rapid evolution of IT environments. A new paradigm is in its evolutionary stages where software functionality is bundled as services and the service is available for run time access as opposed to a component that must be compiled into the application. During this workshop we will discuss service orientation and the current set of standards known as Web Services in this space.

The course will first provide an introduction to the concept of service orientation using Web services as the implementation platform.

Course Objective

The course starts by refreshing the basics of distillation and phase equilibrium, and then concentrates on each of the different distillation types. The conventional distillation systems with their unique features are dealt with in the beginning. Focus then shifts to azeotropic distillation (both homogeneous and heterogeneous), extractive distillation and Reactive distillation, which are both challenging as well as have novel theoretical tools being developed to understand them better. A few lectures also address other related issues that are of relevance like Heat-Integrated Distillation Columns (HIDC), some features of process control of distillation columns, etc.
Experiments to generate VLE data and obtain the interaction parameters using a commercial simulator, and distillation experiments on a lab-scale plant, are a part of the course. The ability of a simulator to predict this experimental data using an appropriate model is demonstrated in the tutorials. Use of tools like conceptual design in obtaining a column sequence, deciding the product purity for a given feed composition, etc. are also dealt with. Talks by experts from the industry on relevant issues are also included.

The course focuses on the development of systems software for embedded applications and begins with a discussion of software for embedded systems. The course covers the design of application software for embedded systems from operating system to the application layers and delves into issues of real-time embedded applications. The rest of the tutorial focuses on language and resource management issues. The course introduces Handel-C, a language based on ANSI-C, extended with concepts for timing, concurrency, flexible-width variables and resource allocation that permit software engineers and hardware designers to quickly implement complex algorithms efficiently in hardware. It also discusses resource management and scheduling paradigms for embedded real-time applications based on static, dynamic and best effort scheduling approaches. Appropriate case studies are used to illustrate the use of the concepts in state-of-the-art real-time operating systems.

Course Objective

The Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA) is an outgrowth of a strategic alliance between Sony Computer Entertainment Inc, Toshiba Corporation, and IBM Corporation, formed in 2001. The intent was to develop a Cell BE processor, based on IBM Power Architecture that would provide a significantly better performance in the games, media and digital content market. The STI (Sony, Toshiba, IBM) Design Center opened in 2001 in Austin, and development began. The first technical disclosures were in February 2005 at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference. The Cell BE processor is a multi-core broadband processor based on IBMs Power Architecture. A single chip contains a Power Processing Element (PPE) and eight Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). Each SPE has an on-chip local store. The PPE has an on-chip L1/L2 cache. Also on the chip are memory and I/O controllers. The PPE is a general purpose 64-bit RISC processor with 2-way hardware multithreading. L1 cache for the PPE is 32KB instruction and 32KB data. Each of the eight SPEs is a special purpose RISC processor with 128-bit SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) capability and 256KB local memory.The PPE and the eight SPEs are connected with a high bandwidth Element Interface Bus. Commercial Applications of Cell BE Processors The first major commercial application of Cell BE was in Sonys PLAYSTATION(R)3 game console. Mercury Computer Systems has a dual Cell BE server, a dual Cell BE blade configuration, a rugged computer and a PCI Express accelerator board available in different stages of production. Toshiba has announced plans to incorporate Cell BE in high definition television sets. The IBM Blade Center QS20 is a Cell BE based blade system designed for businesses that can benefit from high performance computing power and the unique capabilities of the Cell BE processor to run graphic-intensive applications and is especially suitable for computationally intense, high performance workloads across a number of industries including digital media, medical imaging, aerospace, defense and communications
