Online course (through NPTEL): Carbon Materials and Manufacturing
This is an AICTE approved course and most universities in India accept the credits that you can earn by taking the in-person exam at various centers (currently in India only). Registration is free, like all NPTEL courses. Highly relevant course for both academia and industry. And my personal favorite. Videos are also available on YouTube's NPTEL channel. Some Example lectures are as follows:
Graphite crystal structure
Defects in Carbon Fibers
Graphene: Introduction and Properties
Machining of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRPs)
Chemical Vapor Deposition of Carbon Nanomaterials
Transmission Electron Microscopy of Carbon
Industrial Manufacturing of Activated Carbons
Kinetics of Graphitization
Courses taught/ teaching at the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi:
ME515 – Carbon Materials and Technology: Carbon materials can be divided into bulk industrial carbons (graphite, carbon fiber, glass-like carbon, activated carbon etc.) and carbon nano materials (graphene, carbon nanotube, fullerene, carbon nanoparticle etc.). The goal of this course is to explain all types of carbon materials on the basis of atomic structure and hybridization in carbon atoms. Industrial manufacturing techniques of/ with each type of carbon are explained. Example applications are briefly covered. For course contents, click here. All video lectures and other related information can be found on the ME515 Moodle page.
ME635 – Manufacturing for Energy Systems: This course is designed to introduce the manufacturing techniques used for making various components of electrical energy generation and storage systems, such as power plants, solar cells, fuel cells, batteries and capacitors. Topics covered in this master and advanced bachelor level course include the industrial manufacturing processes and materials used in steam, wind, gas and hydraulic turbines; as well as in solar cells, fuel cells and energy storage devices.

IC140P – Product Realization Technology: This is a workshop practice course where first year bachelor students gain a hands-on experience with different industrial manufacturing techniques such as casting, shaping, fitting, laser machining, turning (Lathe), milling, welding, sheet metal cutting, CNC machining and fitting.
ME351 – Management of Manufacturing and Logistics Systems: This course is a combination of industrial engineering and operations research. Students gain familiarity with production systems, elements of business, quality management (lean, six sigma), line balancing, facility location and layout planning, inventory management, forecasting, network analysis, transportation problem, assignment problem and game theory.
IC101P – Reverse Engineering: The primary goal of this course is to develop appreciation of engineering among students through the functioning of general household devices. Students learn the scientific principles and design strategies of motors, pumps, Joule and induction heaters, printers and microwave ovens.
Course taught at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany: Micro and Nano Fabrication with Carbon (2017-2019)
