The mechanical engineering is one of the popular branches of engineering

since the starting of the formal engineering education in the country. Initially
engineering education started with civil engineering but in a very short span
of time electrical and mechanical engineering joined. Slowly with the time
and needs of the human being the other branches of engineering came out.
Presently there are about 25 branches in which formal engineering education
is given and professionals are working.
The mechanical engineering is the basic engineering which particularly
contributes in all the fields of life in some way or the other. Slowly it was
shown its importance in almost all the areas Nuclear, Aerospace, Space,
Agriculture, Medical, Modern automobiles, modern textiles, modern printing
and transportation.
The mechanical engineering used in the design, analysis, development and
realization of space science and technology projects is known Emerging
trends in mechanical and materials engineering. There is no formal education
given in this field by institute as it is an emergent branch of Mechanical
Engineering and is very challenging. It consists of mechanical design and
development of launch vehicles with a re-entry, capabilities, communication
and remote sensing payloads, sensitive appendages, like, Antennae, pointing
and tracking systems etc. using special alloys and composites and SMAR
materials.
Emerging technologies are cutting edge technologies that are in the nascent
stage of development and deployment and getting huge attention of
researchers, industrialists, academicians and scholars. National conference
on Emerging trends in mechanical and materials engineering aims to
provide an opportunity for exchange of ideas and dissemination of
information and to provide a platform for gathering of such scientists,
leading engineers, industry experts, research scholars and advanced student
learners. This conference will focus on new advances and research results in
the field of theoretical and experimental fields of Mechanical Engineering.
In the invited talk the various challenges in the field of Mechanical and
Material Engineering (MME) would be highlighted for the benefit mainly
young faculty members from various engineering institute of the country,
research engineers, and the professionals who are attending the conference.
This will open another highly specialized and challenging field to carry out a
research, educational and professional work.
