ABOUT ETAE
ETAE ‘14 organized by AEC&RI, Kumulur urges to redefine the widening gap between evolution of technology & it’s application on the field of agriculture, Farm Machinery & Power, Food Processing & Bio-Energy. The symposium will include exhibits from leading industries and agencies. Attendee's will get an opportunity to speak directly with the technicians and management persons. ETAE’ 14 promises to provide the perfect dais for participants to showcase their innovations and research projects. It would build a conducive society which amalgamates ideas and profitable agriculture. Students can avail plethora of opportunities provided by ETAE’ 14 and hence improve their technical skills.
ETAE’ 14 will provide the perfect forum among students and research scholars to discuss the adaptability of engineering principles in our modern agriculture. Harnessing energy from renewable sources like solar, wind, ocean etc. is a need of the time citing serious and grave issues of non-renewable energy sources. There are various alternatives to produce energy out of bio-mass and agroforestry residues. Design of highly efficient wind mills, Solar panels & turbines require sufficient practical knowledge of engineering principles
Our proposed symposium ETAE‘14 aims to improve the technical know-how of students by various guest lectures of renowned world class faculties and scientists and shall act as a medium for the exchange of engineering ideas, rules, strategies between various agro-industries and students. It shall strive to put forth a healthy platform for a profitable agriculture.
