MIT Newsletter March 01, 2016 Certificate course in “Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy”. A Certificate course on Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for students was conducted at MIT-SHIMADZU Analytical Testing Laboratory, Department of Plastics & Polymer Engineering MIT, Aurangabad recently.During this course, basics of Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, interpretation of the spectrum generated and the systematic approach towards it was explained by the faculties in the department. Practical demonstrations for the operation and handling of the instrument were given to the students. Hardware part was explained by Mr. Yogesh Phanshikar from Toshvin Analytical Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, an associate of SHIMADZU (ASIA PACIFIC), Singapore. Students had hands on experience on FTIR for 2 days. Discussion sessions with Senior Faculties were arranged for students to clarify their doubts and difficulties as well as they were given the inputs for interviews also. Students were given various assignments for practicing the interpretation of the IR spectra. An overwhelming response was received from students of the department for participation in this course. Ms. P.N. Shindikar (Course coordinator), Dr. A. Chatterjee and Dr. S. Bhandari took the efforts for the successful conduction of this course. Director General of MIT, Prof. Munish Sharma, Principal, MIT Jinturkar, (B. Tech), Dr. S. P. Bhosle, Vice Principal (Academics), Dr. Aadesh Vice Principal (Administration), Ms. Suranjana Mandal congratulated all the participants for their successful completion of the course and distributed certificates to them. The Department has assured to conduct such courses for various instruments community. for the students MIT-SHIMADZU Analytical Testing Laboratory, in collaboration with SHIMADZU (ASIA PACIFIC), Singapore was established in January,2015 in Department of Plastics & Polymer Engineering, MIT, Aurangabad. The laboratory is equipped with sophisticated analytical instruments like UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), with a facility to enhance spectral measurements and material characterization.The very purpose of establishing this facility is to provide Training, Testing and Consultancy to the scientific community for their advanced research.

CAMPUS MIGRATION to open source software Software is a package of pieces of programs, designed for specific application. It runs on digital circuits -Hardware. In short, software drives hardware. To design software, various programming languages like C, Java, Python, C++, etc. are available. The program written, with such language, is called as “source code”. In early days of 1970’s, software development companies used to sale only software ( binary versions ) to customers , not the source code. Such software has been referred as “Closed Source Software (CSS)”. After 1980, the movement started for removing the restrictions of software in terms of “source code” and “distribution”. In 1983, Richard Stallman, alumnus of Harvard University & Massachusetts Institute of Technology, launched GNU project and created UNIX-like operating system composed of entirely free software. In 1991, Linus Torvalds, alumnus of University of Helsinki, released “Linux” kernel with its source code on internet. The software along with its source code , available for its user/customer/ public , is referred as “Open Source Software (OSS )”. WHO USES OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE ? By the end of year 2000, Linux was used by the great IT giants like IBM, Oracle for their highly secured servers. IBM invested USD 1 Billion for Research & Development works on Linux for its Mainframe System. World’s leading stock exchange - NYSC - deployed Red Hat Linux for driving its massive transactions. Furthermore, 97% of supercomputers used Linux OS for fastest operations. Governments of the developed country and developing country started using Linux for running e-governance projects and portals. Government of India announced its support for Open Source software and implemented in defence department, judiciary department and other civil services. Indian Railways server run on Linux OS. Leading institution like IITs and universities started its operation with Linux OS and other open source tools. Kerala state implemented linux os from KG to PG to Universities by saving of crores of rupees needed for licensing of proprietary software. Benefits of Using Open Source Software By means of adapting open source software, user / customer avails the following quick benefits : 1) Multiple options of software tools for specific task. e.g. there exist 300+ Linux flavors for the task of Operating System, dozen of text/spreadsheet/presentation applications, several browsers for internet access. 2) Access to source code for software modification, for Research & Development, for contribution in open source community. 3) Installation on as many PCs as needed. No charge for per-machine installation. 4) No need of Antivirus software, in general. 5) Speedy/ Improved performance of hardware. 6) Following the industry standards for learning and practicing on open source software. 7) Developing human resource in open source domain, needed for Digital India. 8) Hundreds of forums/websites available free-of-cost to support you for any issue How can I use Open Source software in my MIT Lab / at my Home PC/Laptop ? First thing, you need to clear the misinformation like open source is not of my use, it’s very difficult, and my data will be lost if I use open source, … and so on. Whenever you use android, Google, Facebook or Twitter , you use open source. These companies run their smartphones, websites, datacentres with open source software. It means you have been using open source software, unknowingly ! MIT has been supporting open source movement since year 2006 by establishing academic partnership with world’s open source leader, Red Hat Inc. USA and developed thousands of human resources with award-winning certification - Red Hat Certified Engineer ( RHCE ). You shall be supported by this “MIT-Red Hat Global Learning Services”. What is all required from your end, is to list-out your requirements e.g. tasks you are doing with lab / pc , software tools you are referring now, and any additional thing you are interested in learning / doing research work with open source . Following are the SPoC details per MIT institute , you can contact for further execution. As a teacher, please understand, open source learning and practicing saves substantial money as well as contributes in developing your student as competent human resource in open source.
