BMSCE visited the institute on IISc Open day – 2017 to know the
various interesting research works going on at IISc, and had an
opportunity to see and understand complex machines and other
science models. People enjoyed lectures delivered by the experts
on many interesting subjects.
Students visited many labs such as combustion and gasifier,
biomass gasification, Wind tunnel (largest in Asia), Hypersonic
lab, Nano technology lab, Supercomputer building, Department of
physics, propulsion lab, Cryogenics lab etc. and were exposed to
the different aspects and areas of research, real time projects etc.
They carefully observed the experimental setups, procedures,
results/reports of different labs curiously and interacted with
