The Department of Applied Sciences, Punjab Engineering College (Deemed to be University) is organizing a "Short Term Courses on Mathematics in Engineering" from 4 June to 9 June 2018. Researchers from neighboring state institutes are being benefitted with a series of expert lectures by eminent scientists and academicians. The opening session of MIE-2018 was chaired by Prof. Balwinder Singh Surjan, Dean Faculty Affairs, PEC with a motivational note. Prof. Harminder Kaur, Head, Department of Applied Sciences gave an overview of the Department to the participants. As an introductory note, Dr. Sucheta Dutt, Coordinator of MIE-2018, provided a broad aspect of Mathematics modelling and discussed its role in thrust area of current and forthcoming technology. Prof. Uma Batra, Deputy Director, PEC, in her inaugural lecture emphasized upon the role of mathematics in material sciences and technology. In her lecture, she emphasized recent advances in Materials technology in brief, and presented effect of stress-strain on material in elaborative manner. In next session of MIE-2018, Prof. Sanjeev Sofat, PEC, talked about basic algorithm of Cyber security, Network Theory, Graph Theory and mapped these with well-behaved counterpart algorithm in mathematics. Furthermore, in continuation of course, Prof. A. Manna, PEC, delivered key lecture on primary motive of "Make in India" Scheme of Govt. of India. In his lecture, he visualized a roadmap for Smart India by exploring the correlation among mathematical modellings, involved scientific mechanisms and economy. According to Prof. Manna, Smart status of India may be secured by promoting Innovative ideas, putting rigorous RandD efforts, novel mindset towards dissolving the boundary established by both, scientific and societal communities.
