IISc Selects COMSOL Multiphysics For Training In MEMS

The Indian Institute of Science, under a national program on MEMS, in collaboration with the Institute of Smart Structures and Systems, has selected the COMSOL Multiphysics engineering software to promote learning and education among Indian universities.

The Indian Institute of Science will distribute the classkit licences to about 65 colleges across the country over the coming months. COMSOL will also be providing training for students and faculty on the effective use of this software.

"Engineering education in India needs to emphasise hands-on learning if we want to produce world-class engineers. Adoption of COMSOL in education will be a step in that direction," said Professor K J Vinoy, from the Electrical Communication Engineering Department in the Indian Institute of Science.

"Adoption of computer-aided education by a premier institution such as IISc is heartening for us," said Dr Vineet Dravid, managing director, COMSOL Multiphysics.
