OCTOBER 19-20, 2012 - YMCA University of Science & Technology

Proceedings of the National Conference on
Trends and Advances in Mechanical Engineering,
YMCA University of Science & Technology, Faridabad, Haryana, Oct 19-20, 2012
Some of the modern trends and advances in mechanical engineering have been discussed. The problems
associated have been thrown light upon. The solutions with evidences from the vedic texts on science and
technology have been given. If we want to save our planet from a big environmental catastrophe, the advances
suggested must be immediately implemented. For a better human and ethical environment, the vedic texts on
ethics are important to be followed. Sanskrit as a language, which is the key to the vedic texts, must be
introduced in all educational institutions. Likewise, the course on human values and ethics is a must. The science
and technology in the Sanskrit texts is of great relevance in modern times. There should be a separate department
for that in the scientific and technical institutes.
