Research and Innovations @ DCE now DTU

i. A Centre of Relevance and Excellence in Optical Fiber and Optical Communicationshas already been established under joint sponsorship of TIFAC-CORE, the Departmentof Science and Technology, Government of India and Government of N.C.T. of Delhi.Major areas of research undertaken by the centre includes Photonic Crystal Fibre,Nano-scale Optical Devices, Design and Development of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex Optical Communication System (DWDM). The centre has emerged as a major hub for synergy between science and engineering and for promotion of international collaborations for R&D in the area of Photonic Crystal Devices with University of Glasgow, UK and Hokkaido University, Japan.


ii. A strong material science research group has been created at the erstwhile DCE involving applied Physics and Polymer Science and Chemical Technology. The group has carried out cutting edge research in the areas of Ferro-electric materials, Conducting Polymers and Adhesives, Ion-exchange Materials and Nano Composites. The group has established collaborative R&D with Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan.

iii. The erstwhile DCE (now DTU) has a strong Bio-Diesel Research Group which has carried out commendable research and development work in the area of Biodiesel Reactor Design, offered consultancy to the World Bank and has taken major development work for neat Bio-diesel Generator Development with YANMAR of Japan. The group has also developed Algae Bio-diesel Reactor and has promoted energy farming.

iv. The erstwhile DCE (now DTU) has established facilities for info security research under the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Government of India. A major R&D project on Broadband Over Power Lines has been taken up by DTU in collaboration with BSNL, NDPL and Ministry of ICT. Under this project the DTU campus is being developed as a Pilot Project for installation of Broadband Over
Power Lines.

v. EDUSAT Studio cum class-room has also been established with joint support of ISRO and Govt. of Delhi, the facility is connected to 51 institutions in the NCT of Delhi. The facility is being currently utilized for transmission of live lectures to the connected institutions and for broadcast of recorded expert lectures, seminars and workshops.

vi. The DCE Hybrid Car designed and developed by the student team in the year 2005 has won the first place in the student category in the Green Car competition in US.


vii. The DCE supermilage vehicle designed and developed by an interdisciplinary teams of students in the year 2005 won the best design award at the world competition organized by the SAE international at Marshall Michigan, USA-2005.

viii. The UG interdisciplinary student teams, under the expert guidance of the faculty, of the erstwhile DCE (now DTU) have designed and developed a number of new innovative products which have competed in the international competitions in US, UK, South Africa, Australia and Singapore.These include, DCE Formula Student Car winning the FISITA Best Design Endeavour Award from SAE International in UK, DCE All Terrain Vehicle, Mini Baja which have participated in international competitions in UK and US during the last 5 years.


ix. The DCE UAV, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle designed and developed by DCE Student team has received the Most Innovative Design Award – 2006 in International Competition at Georgia, US organized by AUVSI International.

x. The DCE AUV, Robotic Submarine hasreceived the Most Improved Design Award – 2008 at San Diego, USA in International competition organized by AUVSI.

xi. The DCE Moon Buggy designed and developed by DCE student team has received the Best Initial Design Award – 2008 from NASA in an international competition organized in US jointly by NASA and American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, AIAA.

xii. The DCE Student Team has also developed a Liquid Nitrogen Powered Engine and a Car in collaboration with the Nuclear Science Centre, Delhi. DCE Moonbuggy received “Best Initial Design Award” in NASA Competition – 2008

xiii. The DCE Student Team has also designed and developed an unmanned aircraft equipped with surveillance capabilities and won The Directors Award at the international AUVIS competition in 2009, this year.

xiv. The fourth generation DTU AUV has recently left for US to participate in international Robotics Submarine design competition at San Diageo, USA, July 28 - Aug. 2, 2009.

xv. Currently over a dozen teams of students are engaged in the design and development of innovative new products. The above innovative ventures are well supported by the leading industries in India and
also by the Department of Science and Technology, Department of Ocean Development
