13-Dec-2021
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering conducted "Hands-on Research paper Boot camp using Mendeley'' for final year Mechanical Engineering students on 11th Dec, 2021, 8:30 AM to 1:00PM at CIM Lab.
The objective of this workshop was to make students conduct and disseminate their innovative research using publications as the tool. In this boot camp, reference manager -Mendeley from Elsevier was used. Dr. Rathishchandra R Gatti, Head-Dept. of Mechanical Engineering trained the students on using Mendeley software to collate information and write research papers. The boot camp included – Registering individual students on Elsevier, creating collaborative research groups, boolean search on google scholar, creating references, importing references and collaboratively writing a research paper with collected references. At the end of the bootcamp, students were able to create a project group and were collaboratively writing research papers using Mendeley cloud.
In the second session, Dr. Harsha Kumar trained the students on how to read a research paper and the generic structure of a research paper. This was followed by Faculty project coordinator-Mr. Suhas’s explanation on how research papers are now a part of the final year project assessment. The HoD then concluded the session by emphasizing on building a powerful resume using research papers during student life to secure a high caliber job in the future. Prof. Suhas, Mechanical Engineering Projects Coordinator; Prof. Kiran Prakash, Flames Coordinator, Prof. Jyothi, Prof. Saicharan and Prof. Vinay BU coordinated the event .
