defence college
London
The Defence College is a UK-based organisation specialising on providing
technical short courses to engineers and applied science professionals working
in defence sector. It also offers engineering R&D consultancy services. The
organisation is served by a number of highly experienced academics specialising
in the defence technical educations. One such example is Dr Bidur Khanal. He is
a senior academic with a long and established track record of teaching
engineering courses in UK Higher Education sector. In particular, he has
developed a niche in teaching/training defence engineering courses. He was
working at Cranfield University’s Centre for Defence Engineering (CDE) as a
lecturer in Complex Weapons, where he spent a number of years teaching defence
engineering topics in military land vehicle propulsion, transmission system
design, weapons design, and fighting vehicle design. He still supports CDE’s
courses. Dr Khanal has delivered short courses to defence organizations
(currently to US & UK Army and Canadian defence personnels) as an external
consultant, and the teaching are focused on weapons engineering courses e.g.
Military Engine Technologies, Military Tracked Vehicle Transmission Systems and
Designs, Gun System Designs, Fighting Vehicle Design etc. Dr Khanal is a
Chartered Engineer (CEng) and a member of Royal Aeronautical Society, UK. He is
also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK. He is also an active
researcher in computational fluid dynamics, and has published numerous research
articles in journals and conference proceedings. Some of his most recent
research projects include CFD studies on large calibre gun muzzle brake
flowfield, thrust reverser design, High-Pressure turbine blade design and
transient missile release from a military aircraft. We are also supported by
Major Santa Pun MBE, Major Pun is a senior advisor to Defence College. His
experience in UK Military and continuing service in UK MOD means we are
strategically supported by a defence professional with life long experience in
defence.
