course
in
“Fourier
Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy”.
A Certificate course on Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy for students was
conducted at ​
MIT-SHIMADZU Analytical
Testing Laboratory, Department of Plastics
& Polymer Engineering MIT, Aurangabad
recently.During this course, basics of
Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy,
interpretation of the spectrum generated and the systematic approach towards it was
explained
by
the
faculties
in
the
department. Practical demonstrations for
the
operation and handling of the
instrument were given to the students.
Hardware part was explained by Mr.
Yogesh
Phanshikar
from
Toshvin
Analytical Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, an associate
of SHIMADZU (ASIA PACIFIC), Singapore.
Students had hands on experience on
FTIR for 2 days. Discussion sessions with
Senior Faculties were arranged for students to clarify their doubts and difficulties as well
as they were given the inputs for interviews also. Students were given various
assignments for practicing the interpretation of the IR spectra. An overwhelming response
was received from students of the department for participation in this course. Ms. P.N.
Shindikar (Course coordinator), Dr. A. Chatterjee and Dr. S. Bhandari took the efforts for
the successful conduction of this course. Director General of MIT, Prof. Munish Sharma,

MIT-SHIMADZU
​
Analytical Testing Laboratory, in
collaboration with SHIMADZU (ASIA PACIFIC), Singapore was established in January,2015
in Department of Plastics & Polymer Engineering, MIT, Aurangabad. The laboratory is
equipped with sophisticated analytical instruments like UV-visible spectrophotometer
(UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), Differential Scanning
Calorimeter (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), with a facility to enhance
spectral measurements and material characterization.The very purpose of establishing
this facility is to provide Training, Testing and Consultancy to the scientific community for
their advanced research.

Software is a package of pieces
of programs, designed for
specific application. It runs on
digital circuits -Hardware. In
short, software drives hardware.
To design software, various
programming languages like C,
Java, Python, C++, etc. are
available. The program written,
with such language, is called as
“source code”. In early days of
1970’s, software development
companies used to sale only software ( binary versions ) to customers , not the source
code. Such software has been referred as “Closed Source Software (CSS)”. After 1980, the
movement started for removing the
restrictions of software in terms of
“source code” and “distribution”. In
1983, Richard Stallman, alumnus of
Harvard University & Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, launched
GNU project and created UNIX-like
operating system composed of
entirely free software. In 1991, Linus
Torvalds, alumnus of University of
Helsinki, released “Linux” kernel
with its source code on internet. The
software along with its source code
, available for its user/customer/ public , is referred as “Open Source Software (OSS )”.
WHO USES OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE ? By the end of year 2000, Linux was used by the
great IT giants like IBM, Oracle for their highly secured servers. IBM invested USD 1 Billion
for Research & Development works on Linux for its Mainframe System. World’s leading
stock exchange - NYSC - deployed Red Hat Linux for driving its massive transactions.
Furthermore, 97% of supercomputers used Linux OS for fastest operations. Governments
of the developed country and developing country started using Linux for running
e-governance projects and portals. Government of India announced its support for Open
Source software and implemented in defence department, judiciary department and other
civil services. Indian Railways server run on Linux OS. Leading institution like IITs and
universities started its operation with Linux OS and other open source tools. Kerala state
implemented linux os from KG to PG to Universities by saving of crores of rupees needed
for licensing of proprietary software.
Benefits of Using Open Source Software
By means of adapting open source software, user / customer avails the following quick
benefits :
1) Multiple options of software tools for specific task. e.g. there exist 300+ Linux
flavors for the task of Operating
System,
dozen
of
text/spreadsheet/presentation
applications, several browsers for
internet access.
2) Access to source code for software
modification,
for
Research
&
Development, for contribution in
open source community.
3) Installation on as many PCs as
needed. No charge for per-machine
installation.
4) No need of Antivirus software, in general.
5) Speedy/ Improved performance of hardware.
6) Following the industry standards for learning and practicing on open source
software.
7) Developing human resource in open source domain, needed for Digital India.
8) Hundreds of forums/websites available free-of-cost to support you for any issue
How can I use Open Source software in my MIT Lab / at
my Home PC/Laptop ?
First thing, you need to clear the
misinformation like open source is
not of my use, it’s very difficult,
and my data will be lost if I use
open
source, … and so on.
Whenever you use android, Google, Facebook or Twitter , you use open source. These
companies run their smartphones, websites, datacentres with open source software. It
means you have been using open source software, unknowingly ! MIT has been supporting
open source movement since year 2006 by establishing academic partnership with world’s
open source leader, Red Hat Inc. USA and developed thousands of human resources with
award-winning certification - Red Hat Certified Engineer ( RHCE ). You shall be supported by
this “MIT-Red Hat Global Learning Services”. What is all required from your end, is to list-out
your requirements e.g. tasks you are doing with lab / pc , software tools you are referring
now, and any additional thing you are interested in learning / doing research work with open
source . Following are the SPoC details per MIT institute , you can contact for further
execution. As a teacher, please understand, open source learning and practicing saves
substantial money as well as contributes in developing your student as competent human
resource in open source.

Antenna Design, Fabrication and Link Budget
The Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering of Maharashtra
Institute of Technology has organized a one day workshop on 19 Feb 2016 on
“Antenna Design, Fabrication and Link Budget”. The resource faculty for the workshop
was Mr. Anirudha S. Kulkarni from R&D Akademika pvt. Ltd. and Mukund Bhople
Director of RF solutions,
Pune. where the participants
(Third year and M.Tech.
Students) learned different
design aspects of antenna modeling.
The purpose of this workshop was to provide
basic knowledge of antenna theory and to make awareness of required design &
measurement basics. The workshop was a forum for the exchange of information on
the progress of research and development in innovative antenna technology. The
focus made on to acquire knowledge about applications of the antenna design and to
create concrete foundation for further implementation of communication devices by
bringing together the participants and industrial experts to provide a platform to
acquaint & share new ideas in the field.All the participants actively participated in this
event, which includes the hands on session too. They all interacted and exchanged
their views with the experts, which makes the program successful.
