About Research & Development Cell

CSMSS Chh. Shahu College of Engineering has promoted meaningful scientific industrial Research and Development activities with a vision and mission to pursue and promote Research in Frontier Technologies as well as in the various disciplines of Engineering. For any education, specifically technical education, the basic model of a teaching-only institution is inadequate to ensure quality education. In all disciplines of technical education, knowledge is dynamic with new technologies being introduced very frequently. In this scenario, it is not possible for the teachers to deliver good quality instructions without being tuned to the current developments in the subjects, for which they must constantly update their knowledge. A well-recognized way to deal with this paradigm is for the teachers to be active researchers in the areas in which they interested. As researchers, they need to understand the past and recent developments in their subject areas. Research and Development cell was established at our college to inculcate research and innovative skills among faculty and students. R&D Cell provides a platform for creativity and innovation to flourish young minds in Institute. Innovative breakthroughs will happen only because of meticulous efforts of R&D. The Institute provides SEED amount to facilitate basic common research infrastructure for individuals to execute collaborative work. CSMSS CSCOE - R&D cell is a nominated committee consisting of Professors from various programs of Engineering. This committee oversees the smooth and efficient coordination of research and development activities in the Institute, thus fostering overall growth. The organizational structure consists of Advisor, Principal, Dean and Coordinators for facilitating the routine functioning of the cell.
