FUNDED PROJECTS
Research
“Research at the Vel Tech Dr.RR & Dr.SR Technical University is carried out in all disciplines covered by the existing Departments. It includes basic and applied research in Engineering, Technology, Management and Research in Education Methods. Special emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary projects of applied research, relevant to the Indian industry, economy and society.
Vel Tech Research Park
To initiate and execute joint R&D between Industry & University and to further facilitate the Industries to interact with the HR of the University, Vel Tech has created a research park within its campus with a total capacity to accommodate 80 Laboratories. 17 labs were occupied with different funded research projects, Joint Centers of Excellence with Dassault System, France & National Instruments, USA and Industry funded facilities. Research Funding: The University has been funded with over INR 15.49 Crores by various Government funding agencies like DST, DRDO, GITA (Indo Taiwan) etc., and Private Industries for various Research Projects. Research projects are also supported by the sponsoring Trust internally. So far 26 projects worth Rs.1.73 crores have been funded by the sponsoring Trust besides investing on infrastructures like Research Park, Engine Test Facility and Centres of excellence in various fields. Also, the University has been funded with INR 1.01 Crores by DST, DRDO, CSIR, DAE etc. for organizing various National and International events.
