Dr.BERNHARD GLUCK Senior Expertion Service, Germany has visited our department on 24.11.2022 for the inauguration of Centre of Excellence in Computer Integrated manufacturing. In his address he emphasized the Centre of Excellence is the place where the infrastructure facilities are created for the students, so they can validate their ideas by conducting experimental analysis. He also addressed the students about PCB board design case study. He conveyed that the PCB board is to hold and connect all the critical components in a design into a compact, reliable package that can be manufactured with low cost, high yield, and high quality. He also pointed out that the centre of excellence facility should be installed with all basic machineries and students should use those machineries to fabricate the big machineries rather than purchasing the big machineries directly. The centre of excellence will facilitate the students to improve their technical knowledge, work experience, creativity, problem solving capacity, etc.
