An Initiative by Flora Education Society,
Supported by La Fondation Dassault SystemesA course developed by Dr. Mohan Godse for Flora Education Society and supported by La Fondation Dassault Systemes
Learn MoreOur FDPs are designed to create a vibrant ecosystem connecting colleges, faculty, and industry experts to cultivate the next generation of engineers ready for real-world challenges.
Providing an industry-aligned curriculum on NVH fundamentals and applications.
Connecting faculty with industry leaders through live projects and expert sessions.
Emphasizing practical skills with live demos on our state-of-the-art NVH Learning Lab equipment.
The FDP aims to create an ecosystem of colleges, faculty, and industry for the development of learners in colleges to work on industrial projects. It will lead to solving industrial problems and the development of new technologies.
Three years of effort from La Fondation Dassault Systèmes, Dr. Godse, and Flora Institutes resulted in the creation of the course "Fundamentals of Low Frequency NVH & Automotive Applications" and the NVH Learning Laboratory. The development of the course content is also a fruit of this initiative.
A key aspect of our FDPs is strong industry engagement:
Three further FDPs are planned to expand our ecosystem to engineering colleges in Northern, Southern, and Eastern India, continuing our mission to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
