Center of Excellence for Industrial Product Development (CoE IPD)
The Center of Excellence for Industrial Product Development (CoE IPD) focuses on transforming research outcomes into realizable products and services. Therefore, its core scientific competencies lie in processing raw materials into finished products, with mechanical engineering (mechanical design and manufacturing) and electronics (electronics, information technology, and IoT) serving as its main pillars.
With an open-collaboration spirit, other fields—such as health sciences, civil engineering, animal science, and various disciplines—contribute as secondary layers that help drive activities within the center.
The main activities of CoE IPD include product development projects funded through industrial collaborations, government grants, and university support.
Our Laboratory Services Include:
- Material testing and analysis
- Basic training in Manual CMM machine operation
- Ansys simulation training
- SolidWorks certification
