The institute had also won the National Award for the Best Private Engineering College for the year 2012 from ISTE, New Delhi. PREAMBLE Models describe our beliefs about how the world functions. In mathematical modelling, we translate those beliefs into the language of mathematics. There is a large element of compromise in mathematical modelling. The majority of interacting systems in the real world are far too complicated to model in their entirety. The two divisions of mathematical modeling namely deterministic / stochastic and mechanistic / empirical represent extremes of a range of model types. In between lay a whole spectrum of model types. It is essential to develop regression based mathematical models in many engineering research applications. It facilitates test the effect of changes in a system, decision making, etc. TOPICS TO BE COVERED  Exponential  Reciprocal Squared  Reciprocal Powers  Reciprocal Powers and Exponent Hybrid  Discrete Model o Exponential with a Valid Range  Hybrid Model o Combined Reciprocal Powers and Exponential Function o Combined Linear and Exponential Function o B-Spline Curve  Polynomial Model o Cubic Polynomial o Fourth Order Polynomial o Fifth Order Polynomial  Response Surface Methodology  Taguchi Techniques  Few case study applications Workshop Methodology  Theory Sessions  Practical Sessions in Regression Models  Practical Sessions in Taguchi Techniques  Practical Sessions in RSM For Whom The program is specially designed to help the faculty and PG students from various engineering colleges. This program is useful for the faculty of Mechanical / Production / Mechatronics / Industrial / Automobile Engineering. This program will also be useful to anyone interested in planning and conducting good quality research with an objective of publishing papers for conferences and journals. Resource persons Faculty members from Anna University and BIT.
