Concepts and Applications in Engineering

In the vast realm of engineering education, where theories and equations intertwine, the roots of knowledge extend deep into the ancient soils of India. Needless to say, India is a nation with a long civilizational history with recorded history, cultural artifacts, and evidence pointing to more than five millennia of existence. Not surprisingly, such a society would have discovered enormous knowledge cutting across various dimensions of human life and existence.Today, though India is known for its achievement in Yoga and other spiritual studies, it has made enormous progress in the material life as well. From metallurgy to civil engineering, pre-modern Indians can boast of tremendous achievements. The fact that many of their engineering marvels have survived the test of time is a testament to their knowledge and skill. Such achievements also assume significant advances in certain basic sciences like Mathematics.
