Department of Printing Engineering

Printing Engineering Department was established in the year 1985 with undergraduate course. The Department has sanctioned intake of 60 students. PG Course in Printing Engineering started in 2009 and Post Graduate Research Centre in 2011. The department has qualified, experienced and dedicated teaching staff having PG qualification. Department has well equipped laboratories, with Pre-press, Press, Post-press, Testing and internet facility in each laboratory as per the requirements of SPPU and AICTE. Department emphasizes on effective teaching learning process with excellent teaching learning environment. The department has good association with eminent persons from both industry and academics. The department has recently started BE Honors Program in Advanced Packaging Technology. The syllabus of this Honors Program caters to recent developments in the field of packaging such as IOT, Smart Packaging, and Sustainability in Packaging and Brand management in Packaging. The inclusion of various subjects in the field of packaging will open up many avenues to students in the packaging and printing industry thus improving the employability of the students. Given below is the breakup of distribution of Core, Electives, Printing and Packaging subjects.

Mission:

  • To develop state of the art infrastructure to create competitive engineers for the printing `industry.
  • To develop a strong bond between industry and institute to promote training and consultancy activities in printing.
  • To motivate students and scholars inculcate research culture in printing.
  • To develop knowledge and skill in students to adapt to the competitive and technical environment in printing industry.
  • To nurture the spirit of environmental sustainability and excellent work culture among students required in the industry.

Program Educational Objectives:

  • PEO1: The printing engineering graduates in their chosen field of pre-press, color and design, print, converting shall be adaptive to the dynamic changes happening in the related industry.
  • PEO2: The printing engineering graduates either in their employment or business shall try to implement integrated business processes keeping a strong focus on customer satisfaction.
  • PEO3: The printing engineering graduate shall focus on green printing that includes saving in energy and resources in print processes by way of carbon footprint reduction initiatives.
  • PEO4: To prepare print graduate to undertake higher studies so as to become ‘enablers’ in researching new upcoming fields of printing and packaging.
  • PEO5: The printing engineering graduate shall be able to develop new systems for minimizing costs, wastage and increase productivity in the field of commercial printing, publications, packaging and allied media.

Program Outcomes:

  • Engineering Graduates will be able to:
  1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
  2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences
  3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
  5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
  6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
  7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
  8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
  9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
  10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
  11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environment.
  12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
