Department of E&TC Engineering organised a Workshop on “Engineering Applications in Astronomy " from 19th to 24th August 2019 at VIT, Pune in association with Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) and Infosys Foundation, coordinated by Prof. Shital Pawar. The workshop aimed to provide a platform for engineering students to get ready for the upcoming astronomical mega projects through some hands-on approach and perceive how astronomical instrumentation challenges are being taken up for the next-generation technology. The experiments conducted here were new and different from the UG PG lab experiments, thereby giving an insight into Astronomical application and understanding of the engineering concepts. A visit to Giant Meterwave Radio Telecsope (GMRT) and IUCAA Garawali Observatory (IGO) was also carried out during the workshop. The workshop was inaugurated by Hon. Bharatji Agarwal, Executive Director and Managing Trustee, VIT Pune. Inaugural function was graced by the presence of Dr. Somak Raychaudhury, Director, IUCAA, Dr. A.N.Ramprakash, Professor and Head of Instrumentation Laboratory, IUCAA, Mr. Jameer Manur, Research Electronics Engineer, IUCAA, Prof. Dr. Swati Shilaskar, Dean SCCG, VIT and Prof. Dr. Shripad Bhatlawande, Head E&TC Engineering, VIT. Total number of participants for this workshop was 38.
