Research Council

Sree Buddha College of Engineering promotes research in the frontier areas of Science, Technology and Engineering. The Institute has already entered into the active research through projects from AYUSH, way back in 2010. Research activities actively taken by faculty members of various departments of the college have been gaining momentum in the recent past. Sponsored research works carried out by our faculty are supported by central and state government agencies. It has helped the institute in procuring state of the art instruments and equipment for carrying out high quality research for social empowerment. Research projects are mainly aimed at solving rural and industrial problems and are being pursued with great importance.

A research council has been formulated with the Principal of the institution as the Chairman and the Dean (Research) as the convener. Research Council has members from all the departments. The council organizes different programmes to motivate the faculty to enroll for PhD programs in their fields of interest. The council assists and provides guidance to research scholars in obtaining research projects and collects the information of potential funding agencies for financial assistance. The Dean (Research) coordinates all research activities of the Institute and research based product development. The communication and coordination works related to research and the dissemination of scientific and technical work are mainly looked after by the research council.

The institution has signed MoU with Oushadhi, Thrissur and received Government of India (AYUSH) funding for an amount of Rs. 21.2 Lakhs and based on this collaborative research work is conducted in the field of Biotechnology and has a few research publications in those lines. The institution has already provided seed money of Rs. 7 Lakhs for the research on Genetic Profiling Study on Kerala Population and has published several papers in an international journal. An amount of Rs 48.48 Lakhs has been received recently as Extramural Research Grant from the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India under the Biotechnology Career Advancement and Re-orientation (BIO-CARe) Program for Women Scientists for carrying out research activities on Biotechnology interventions for quantum dot synthesis and their applications for bio-sensor development. The Institute has earmarked 20% of its total budget for research work. The Institute has also signed another Memorandum of Understanding with University Sains, Malaysia (USM) for research, faculty exchange and student exchange programs and has initiated collaborative research.

Currently the Institute has a few research scholars pursuing PhD under the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University. The Institute organizes conferences/workshops/faculty developments programs using state of the art facilities. The College also provides duty leave and travel support for faculty and students to attend conferences. Above all, the college facilitates timely release of funds for carrying out research projects and provides seed money. The activities of research council help to motivate faculty, especially youngsters, to undertake research activities and enhance the quality of their research work.
