Introduction
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras, established
by the Government of India in 1959, is among the
foremost of Institutes in India and abroad in higher
technical education and fundamental and applied
research. The Institute, located in a lush green forest
covered land of about 250 hectares in South Chennai,
has about 460 Faculty, 4500 Students, and 1250
Administrative and Supporting Staff working in various
departments and centres.

The Manufacturing Engineering Section (MES) was
started in 1965 under the Department of Mechanical
Engineering. This section is now equipped with state-
of-the-art facilities for teaching, training, research and
development, and industrial consultancy in various
aspects of manufacturing. The facilities available in the
section encompass conventional, unconventional and
advanced manufacturing technologies. These are
grouped under Machine Tool Laboratory, Computer
Aided Design (CAD) Laboratory, Computer Aided
Manufacturing (CAM) Laboratory, Robotics, CIM
Laboratory, Micro Machining and Metrology
Laboratory. Since its inception, emphasis has been on
practical and industrially relevant developmental
activities. The facilities in the section have been
augmented with support from Ministry of HRD,
Government of India, Indo-German Projects, and
Sponsored Projects from various Governmental
Agencies and Industries.

The Background

Technological advancements and industrial automation
have greatest impact on manufacturing systems over the
last several decades. Current scenario in the
manufacturing industry is to meet the global challenges
and implement new ideas for integrating the design and
production system activities. A good understanding of
various methodologies and technological aspects of
manufacturing automation is essential for excelling in
the profession. This course aims at guiding teachers and
researchers to have clear vision on fundamentals of
automation and its challenges in the field of
computer integrated manufacturing. Apart from
this, the programme is aimed at providing a forum
for teachers, researchers, strategic planners and
decision makers to share their innovative strategies
and knowledge relevant to advanced systems in
computer integrated manufacturing and automation.
