= CAMPUS OVERVIEW =

The Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering (Autonomous) is a private, co-education engineering institute established in the year 1996. Spread over 21 acres in a beautiful green valley far from the frenzied crowd, it is one of the most - preferred private engineering colleges in and around Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. The educational trust is formed, managed and promoted by academicians, philanthropists and technocrats and believes in human capital formation for long-term growth.

The college offers instruction to 1200 undergraduate students in 7 branches of Engineering: Chemical, Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical engineering,  Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology(IT). The institution also offers Master of Computer Applications program and 13 Postgraduate education programs. The institute is accredited by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and re-accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council by 'A' grade with a CGPA of 3.47/4.00. Along with this, the college is sanctioned the extension of autonomy until 2020 by University Grants Commission (India)

= PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

Inspiration and Innovation deficiency in the students is more dangerous than the contagious disease. There is a lot of onus on educational institutions to make a student’s future, industry and market ready. GVP College of Engineering (A) recognized the need and significance to inspire students and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. The institution established Center for Innovation and introduced Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement to spearhead this mission and appointed a dedicated Director, Dr.Ravi Saripalle to oversee the center mission. The objective of this mission to inspire students by making them hear positive stories and positive NEWS, help them think differently and make them operate on a creative and innovative platform while disciplining as the common denominator.

With a mission, “Inspire through Storytelling - Innovate for Life turning” the above model brings distinction in promoting inspiration, thinking, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, professionalism, research and relevance to nation-building.

How is the CFI working on instilling Innovation?

1. Sending Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling e-newsletter to all IITs, IIMs, NITs, Universities and more than 10,000+ schools across India. Till date, 6 issues are sent across the Nation (85000+ individual emails sent so far).

2. These e-newsletters contain inspiring stories of people (achievers /failures) and live case studies to students on different levels helping them set the vision for themselves and execute goals without any external influence.

3. On the case to case basis, storytelling workshops are conducted on various school/college platforms thus encouraging Innovation.

4. A new concept of edutainment (education + entertainment) is introduced. This process cuts-down the re-skilling cost as individuals inspire and learn skills on their own.

= ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

The college encourages faculty to perform more research and development projects. There are around 38 research supervisors/ co-supervisors from different departments recognized by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada. Also funding from various external agencies is procured to facilitate the R&D projects.

There is a dedicated cell called the GVP-Prof.V. Lakshmikantham Institute for Advanced Studies (GVP-LIAS) (in place of Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute for Advanced Studies (GIAS)), established in 2007. It is the offspring of Prof. Lakshmikantham's vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. Lakshmikantham's generous financial support gave impetus to the growth of the institution.

With a vision to establish a Research Centre where the main purpose of its members is to conduct and foster original cutting-edge research in areas of mathematical and computational sciences useful in solving real-world problems via interdisciplinary approach for the benefit of the mankind, the institute uses its sphere of influence and helps to bring resource persons from various parts of the world. It believes in cooperation and works in collaboration with the Dept. of Mathematics, in particular, and other engineering Depts., in general.

Since its inception, over 100 research papers in refereed journals and 4 research monographs (including 2 major ones) have been published. Two international conferences on Recent Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications (RAMSA) were organized in 2009 and 2013. Several renowned scientists from various countries participated. Two research projects from Department of Science and Technology (DST) and National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy have been satisfactorily completed.

Under the able guidance of Prof. S. G. Deo, the former Director of the institute, the institute expanded its functions by organizing training programs for faculty and students appearing for the NET exam. Further workshops for the faculty of GVPCE and other institutes/colleges, at various levels (from school teachers to engineering faculty), have been organized.

Also, our college is an identified remote center of IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur for conducting Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) from the year 2015. as on date, three FDPs in Physics, Embedded Systems, and Power Systems were held.

= #Strategy 1-Smart Teaching and Learning =
Learning is not how much one can cramp up. Rather it's the knowledge that remains after one forgets what he/she learned in schools. Thus we emphasize on learning concepts with the help visuals and performing activities.Keeping this in view we are vouching for smart classroom learning to be introduced. This smart class room education system makes students get more interest on the lectures and also increase the student participation in a classroom environment.Through this Smart Learning concept we want the learners themselves to facilitate a framework in the concepts that will be later bridged by the teachers. The learners activate and build background knowledge, process information, transform their learning into a product(a picture, a mind map or a presentation) that shows what they know, and reflect on their learning. Then the teacher would wrap it up with anything missing from the student's part.Structured talk and assessment as and for learning are carefully woven into the process to build a thoughtful context for learning and to advance the thinking of all learners. Smart Learning realizes the goals of inclusivity and differentiation.Also The use of Education technology can bring a huge change in education. Internet and e learning devices can make classroom environment extremely amazing. Teaching through computer, internet and multimedia devices will be a common thing in future and we want to take a step towards it.[[File:Smart class Strategy.PNG|frame|Smart class Strategy.PNG]]

= #Strategy 2-Announcements =
“Every news in and around the campus must reach every student in the campus.”Every resource made available by the college can be utilised in a productive way only if every student gets to know of it. And for this we came up with a solution the smart way.The need of the hour is that Students are unable to recognise the different kinds of activities happening in and around college. This is because there are a number of classes and the canvassing panel members has to go around each class and share the announcement every now and then. But other than this there is no other way of communicating to the students about the workshops, competitions or any other activities going on.Also if the students are not present during the time the announcements are being made then there is no way for them except for word of mouth to know about what they have missed. As a result low participation is observed much to the disappointment of the organisers and the other students alike.Our solution to this challenge would be creating an App. As every student now is a n ardent mobile user they would get notifications right at their fingertips.This App would contain the following sections and will be accessible both by the faculty and the students thus again broadening the communication channel between the facilitators and the participants.<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Information on Events: Full details about all the upcoming events in and around the college will be available and updated timely.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Results or exam notifications: College results and notifications of other exams are viewed only through the official website until now. Also the students had to check every now and then to see if there is an update. The introduction of the app would mean students will automatically get regular updates and they won't need to check each and every time.  </li>

= #Strategy 3-Industry Exposure =

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand", said Confucius, a teacher and philosopher.

To bridge the gap between the technical concepts taught in the classroom and their practical aspects, the students need to have a hands-on learning experience. For the very same reason, the Industry should be brought outside right outside the classroom.

Also, it has been widely reported time and again that university graduates need to be better prepared for the workplace. So, what better way to do this then let students experience doing real work while they are still studying?

The industry exposure enhances the undergraduate’s work life through added enthusiasm and commitment; provides a lifelong learning experience; is an opportunity to engage with the profession to which they aspire in a realistic work environment; appreciate and understand the practical application of their academic programme; work with professional mentors and to begin to build networks within their profession.

So, even before the student graduates, he or she is trained to be job-ready, thus increasing the student’s employment prospects.

We believe this could be done by introducing the following in curriculum - 

i. Industrial Visits

ii. In-Plant Trainings

iii. Projects

iv. Industry Recommended Electives

INDUSTRIAL VISIT:

Arranged right from first year onwards to groom students to Industry expectations.Regular Industrial Visits relevant to the respective departments should be arranged.

IN PLANT TRAINING:

Arranged periodically for duration primarily set. Students across all the years and departments should be deputed for undertaking In-Plant Training at Industries near the college.

PROJECTS:

Industry identified problems should be dealt by students with guidance from mentors both in college and the industry. This way the students will get an opportunity to work for and understand the conditions in the industry even before they step into it after graduation. This way also helps the industry identify the students with the skill set they are looking for, thus simplifying the whole process of recruitment later.

ELECTIVES BASED ON INDUSTRY INPUT:

The college should introduce Elective Subjects based on the recommendation from the Industry. This way the teaching and learning practices become learner-centric enhancing the employability of students.

= #Strategy 4-International Exposure =

For the growth of a college or any institution their relations should be strong globally. International collaborations always broaden the student and the colleges scope of development. Participation by more number of students in not just national events but also in global events should be looked upon.

Students need to excel themselves on global fronts; become more self-reliant and self-confident, gain valuable life skills and broaden their worldview. They should be able to represent themselves and their college with ease on an international platform.

Through international exposure students can build networks that can in turn raise their country’s profile and develop skills that contribute to jobs and growth.

It is a well known fact that students who are flexible, multilingual, and comfortable in multicultural settings have a higher chance to excel compared to their peers.

One way facilitate this would be setting up an International Affairs cell within the college as a platform to

1. Interact with the alumni who have pioneered in their careers.

2. Increase the student's participation on a global front.



Interaction with alumni:

Direct interaction with students who have already marked themselves would help us understands the process better. Their experience would serve as inspirational success stories and will definitely motivate students towards setting their goals high.

Increasing student participation in global events:

Collaborating with consultancies, foreign universities and local societies handling foreign projects would increase the exposure students get. The increase in participation will indirectly increase the colleges' recognition once again leading to student benefit.

“Every news in and around the campus must reach every student in the campus.”Every resource made available by the college can be utilised in a productive way only if every student gets to know of it. And for this we came up with a solution the smart way.The need of the hour is that Students are unable to recognise the different kinds of activities happening in and around college. This is because there are a number of classes and the canvassing panel members has to go around each class and share the announcement every now and then. But other than this there is no other way of communicating to the students about the workshops, competitions or any other activities going on.Also if the students are not present during the time the announcements are being made then there is no way for them except for word of mouth to know about what they have missed. As a result low participation is observed much to the disappointment of the organisers and the other students alike.Our solution to this challenge would be creating an App. As every student now is a n ardent mobile user they would get notifications right at their fingertips.This App would contain the following sections and will be accessible both by the faculty and the students thus again broadening the communication channel between the facilitators and the participants.<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">

= #Strategy 3-Industry Exposure =

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand", said Confucius, a teacher and philosopher.

To bridge the gap between the technical concepts taught in the classroom and their practical aspects, the students need to have a hands-on learning experience. For the very same reason, the Industry should be brought outside right outside the classroom.

Also, it has been widely reported time and again that university graduates need to be better prepared for the workplace. So, what better way to do this then let students experience doing real work while they are still studying?

The industry exposure enhances the undergraduate’s work life through added enthusiasm and commitment; provides a lifelong learning experience; is an opportunity to engage with the profession to which they aspire in a realistic work environment; appreciate and understand the practical application of their academic programme; work with professional mentors and to begin to build networks within their profession.

So, even before the student graduates, he or she is trained to be job-ready, thus increasing the student’s employment prospects.

We believe this could be done by introducing the following in curriculum - 

i. Industrial Visits

ii. In-Plant Trainings

iii. Projects

iv. Industry Recommended Electives

INDUSTRIAL VISIT:

Arranged right from first year onwards to groom students to Industry expectations.Regular Industrial Visits relevant to the respective departments should be arranged.

IN PLANT TRAINING:

Arranged periodically for duration primarily set. Students across all the years and departments should be deputed for undertaking In-Plant Training at Industries near the college.

PROJECTS:

Industry identified problems should be dealt by students with guidance from mentors both in college and the industry. This way the students will get an opportunity to work for and understand the conditions in the industry even before they step into it after graduation. This way also helps the industry identify the students with the skill set they are looking for, thus simplifying the whole process of recruitment later.

ELECTIVES BASED ON INDUSTRY INPUT:

The college should introduce Elective Subjects based on the recommendation from the Industry. This way the teaching and learning practices become learner-centric enhancing the employability of students.

= #Strategy 4-International Exposure =

For the growth of a college or any institution their relations should be strong globally. International collaborations always broaden the student and the colleges scope of development. Participation by more number of students in not just national events but also in global events should be looked upon.

Students need to excel themselves on global fronts; become more self-reliant and self-confident, gain valuable life skills and broaden their worldview. They should be able to represent themselves and their college with ease on an international platform.

Through international exposure students can build networks that can in turn raise their country’s profile and develop skills that contribute to jobs and growth.

It is a well known fact that students who are flexible, multilingual, and comfortable in multicultural settings have a higher chance to excel compared to their peers.

One way facilitate this would be setting up an International Affairs cell within the college as a platform to

1. Interact with the alumni who have pioneered in their careers.

2. Increase the student's participation on a global front.

Interaction with alumni:

Direct interaction with students who have already marked themselves would help us understands the process better. Their experience would serve as inspirational success stories and will definitely motivate students towards setting their goals high.

Increasing student participation in global events:

Collaborating with consultancies, foreign universities and local societies handling foreign projects would increase the exposure students get. The increase in participation will indirectly increase the colleges' recognition once again leading to student benefit.

= CAMPUS OVERVIEW =

The Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering (Autonomous) is a private, co-education engineering institute established in the year 1996. Spread over 21 acres in a beautiful green valley far from the frenzied crowd, it is one of the most - preferred private engineering colleges in and around Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. The educational trust is formed, managed and promoted by academicians, philanthropists and technocrats and believes in human capital formation for long-term growth.

The college offers instruction to 1200 undergraduate students in 7 branches of Engineering: Chemical, Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical engineering,  Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology(IT). The institution also offers Master of Computer Applications program and 13 Postgraduate education programs. The institute is accredited by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and re-accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council by 'A' grade with a CGPA of 3.47/4.00. Along with this, the college is sanctioned the extension of autonomy until 2020 by University Grants Commission (India)

= PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

Inspiration and Innovation deficiency in the students is more dangerous than the contagious disease. There is a lot of onus on educational institutions to make a student’s future, industry and market ready. GVP College of Engineering (A) recognized the need and significance to inspire students and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. The institution established Center for Innovation and introduced Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement to spearhead this mission and appointed a dedicated Director, Dr.Ravi Saripalle to oversee the center mission. The objective of this mission to inspire students by making them hear positive stories and positive NEWS, help them think differently and make them operate on a creative and innovative platform while disciplining as the common denominator.

With a mission, “Inspire through Storytelling - Innovate for Life turning” the above model brings distinction in promoting inspiration, thinking, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, professionalism, research and relevance to nation-building.

How is the CFI working on instilling Innovation?

1. Sending Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling e-newsletter to all IITs, IIMs, NITs, Universities and more than 10,000+ schools across India. Till date, 6 issues are sent across the Nation (85000+ individual emails sent so far).

2. These e-newsletters contain inspiring stories of people (achievers /failures) and live case studies to students on different levels helping them set the vision for themselves and execute goals without any external influence.

3. On the case to case basis, storytelling workshops are conducted on various school/college platforms thus encouraging Innovation.

4. A new concept of edutainment (education + entertainment) is introduced. This process cuts-down the re-skilling cost as individuals inspire and learn skills on their own.

= ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

The college encourages faculty to perform more research and development projects. There are around 38 research supervisors/ co-supervisors from different departments recognized by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada. Also funding from various external agencies is procured to facilitate the R&D projects.

There is a dedicated cell called the GVP-Prof.V. Lakshmikantham Institute for Advanced Studies (GVP-LIAS) (in place of Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute for Advanced Studies (GIAS)), established in 2007. It is the offspring of Prof. Lakshmikantham's vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. Lakshmikantham's generous financial support gave impetus to the growth of the institution.

With a vision to establish a Research Centre where the main purpose of its members is to conduct and foster original cutting-edge research in areas of mathematical and computational sciences useful in solving real-world problems via interdisciplinary approach for the benefit of the mankind, the institute uses its sphere of influence and helps to bring resource persons from various parts of the world. It believes in cooperation and works in collaboration with the Dept. of Mathematics, in particular, and other engineering Depts., in general.

Since its inception, over 100 research papers in refereed journals and 4 research monographs (including 2 major ones) have been published. Two international conferences on Recent Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications (RAMSA) were organized in 2009 and 2013. Several renowned scientists from various countries participated. Two research projects from Department of Science and Technology (DST) and National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy have been satisfactorily completed.

Under the able guidance of Prof. S. G. Deo, the former Director of the institute, the institute expanded its functions by organizing training programs for faculty and students appearing for the NET exam. Further workshops for the faculty of GVPCE and other institutes/colleges, at various levels (from school teachers to engineering faculty), have been organized.

Also, our college is an identified remote center of IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur for conducting Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) from the year 2015. as on date, three FDPs in Physics, Embedded Systems, and Power Systems were held.

= FACILITATING UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION =

Collaboration between colleges and industries is very crucial for skills development, acquisition and adoption of knowledge. It also plays a major role in the promotion of entrepreneurship.

A total of 13 MOUs were signed with Industry Partners that include:

#Jengu Water Pvt Ltd, USA
#The Government of A.P
#Tata Consultancy Services
#Infosys
#IBM
#Wipro
#Solivar
#Microsoft
#CISCO
#EMC
#Ecologic/ MacredPharma Ltd, India
#Vasudha Pharma, India
#KalpahInnovations Private Limited

= ENGAGING WITH REGIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS =

Centre for fostering social responsibility (CFSR) in our college was Initiated in 2014-15 as an Apex body for fostering social responsibility in students with an aim to instill passion in community engagement among students for the long-term development of youth in general and society in particular.

Its main Objectives are-

*Linking learning with community service

*Linking research with community knowledge

*Knowledge sharing & knowledge mobilization

*Devising new curriculum and courses

*Including practitioners as teachers

*Social innovations by students

CFSR coordinates its activities with various service groups that execute in our college

*NSS with a motto of overall personality development of students.

*ROTARACT with an objective of developing leadership skills among the students.

*VIDYADAAN with an objective of supporting the underprivileged with Primary Education.

*WeR4Help works with a mission of providing basic provisions among needy families in and around the vicinity of the college.

*YES (Youth Enlightening the Society) sensitizes people in the rural areas on various programs made available by Government and other agencies.

*HoH (Hearts of Humanity) has the sole objective of cheering the orphans.

Bhavyatha:

= CAMPUS OVERVIEW =

The Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering (Autonomous) is a private, co-education engineering institute established in the year 1996. Spread over 21 acres in a beautiful green valley far from the frenzied crowd, it is one of the most - preferred private engineering colleges in and around Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. The educational trust is formed, managed and promoted by academicians, philanthropists and technocrats and believes in human capital formation for long-term growth.

The college offers instruction to 1200 undergraduate students in 7 branches of Engineering: Chemical, Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical engineering,  Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology(IT). The institution also offers Master of Computer Applications program and 13 Postgraduate education programs. The institute is accredited by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and re-accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council by 'A' grade with a CGPA of 3.47/4.00. Along with this, the college is sanctioned the extension of autonomy until 2020 by University Grants Commission (India)

= PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

Inspiration and Innovation deficiency in the students is more dangerous than the contagious disease. There is a lot of onus on educational institutions to make a student’s future, industry and market ready. GVP College of Engineering (A) recognized the need and significance to inspire students and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. The institution established Center for Innovation and introduced Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement to spearhead this mission and appointed a dedicated Director, Dr.Ravi Saripalle to oversee the center mission. The objective of this mission to inspire students by making them hear positive stories and positive NEWS, help them think differently and make them operate on a creative and innovative platform while disciplining as the common denominator.

With a mission, “Inspire through Storytelling - Innovate for Life turning” the above model brings distinction in promoting inspiration, thinking, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, professionalism, research and relevance to nation-building.

How is the CFI working on instilling Innovation?

1. Sending Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling e-newsletter to all IITs, IIMs, NITs, Universities and more than 10,000+ schools across India. Till date, 6 issues are sent across the Nation (85000+ individual emails sent so far).

2. These e-newsletters contain inspiring stories of people (achievers /failures) and live case studies to students on different levels helping them set the vision for themselves and execute goals without any external influence.

3. On the case to case basis, storytelling workshops are conducted on various school/college platforms thus encouraging Innovation.

4. A new concept of edutainment (education + entertainment) is introduced. This process cuts-down the re-skilling cost as individuals inspire and learn skills on their own.

= ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

The college encourages faculty to perform more research and development projects. There are around 38 research supervisors/ co-supervisors from different departments recognized by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada. Also funding from various external agencies is procured to facilitate the R&D projects.

There is a dedicated cell called the GVP-Prof.V. Lakshmikantham Institute for Advanced Studies (GVP-LIAS) (in place of Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute for Advanced Studies (GIAS)), established in 2007. It is the offspring of Prof. Lakshmikantham's vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. Lakshmikantham's generous financial support gave impetus to the growth of the institution.

With a vision to establish a Research Centre where the main purpose of its members is to conduct and foster original cutting-edge research in areas of mathematical and computational sciences useful in solving real-world problems via interdisciplinary approach for the benefit of the mankind, the institute uses its sphere of influence and helps to bring resource persons from various parts of the world. It believes in cooperation and works in collaboration with the Dept. of Mathematics, in particular, and other engineering Depts., in general.

= CAMPUS OVERVIEW =

The Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering (Autonomous) is a private, co-education engineering institute established in the year 1996. Spread over 21 acres in a beautiful green valley far from the frenzied crowd, it is one of the most - preferred private engineering colleges in and around Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. The educational trust is formed, managed and promoted by academicians, philanthropists and technocrats and believes in human capital formation for long-term growth.

The college offers instruction to 1200 undergraduate students in 7 branches of Engineering: Chemical, Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical engineering,  Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology(IT). The institution also offers Master of Computer Applications program and 13 Postgraduate education programs. The institute is accredited by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and re-accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council by 'A' grade with a CGPA of 3.47/4.00. Along with this, the college is sanctioned the extension of autonomy until 2020 by University Grants Commission (India)

= PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

Inspiration and Innovation deficiency in the students is more dangerous than the contagious disease. There is a lot of onus on educational institutions to make a student’s future, industry and market ready. GVP College of Engineering (A) recognized the need and significance to inspire students and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. The institution established Center for Innovation and introduced Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement to spearhead this mission and appointed a dedicated Director, Dr.Ravi Saripalle to oversee the center mission. The objective of this mission to inspire students by making them hear positive stories and positive NEWS, help them think differently and make them operate on a creative and innovative platform while disciplining as the common denominator.

With a mission, “Inspire through Storytelling - Innovate for Life turning” the above model brings distinction in promoting inspiration, thinking, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, professionalism, research and relevance to nation-building.

How is the CFI working on instilling Innovation?

1. Sending Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling e-newsletter to all IITs, IIMs, NITs, Universities and more than 10,000+ schools across India. Till date, 6 issues are sent across the Nation (85000+ individual emails sent so far).

2. These e-newsletters contain inspiring stories of people (achievers /failures) and live case studies to students on different levels helping them set the vision for themselves and execute goals without any external influence.

3. On the case to case basis, storytelling workshops are conducted on various school/college platforms thus encouraging Innovation.

4. A new concept of edutainment (education + entertainment) is introduced. This process cuts-down the re-skilling cost as individuals inspire and learn skills on their own.

= ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

The college encourages faculty to perform more research and development projects. There are around 38 research supervisors/ co-supervisors from different departments recognized by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada. Also funding from various external agencies is procured to facilitate the R&D projects.

There is a dedicated cell called the GVP-Prof.V. Lakshmikantham Institute for Advanced Studies (GVP-LIAS) (in place of Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute for Advanced Studies (GIAS)), established in 2007. It is the offspring of Prof. Lakshmikantham's vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. Lakshmikantham's generous financial support gave impetus to the growth of the institution.

With a vision to establish a Research Centre where the main purpose of its members is to conduct and foster original cutting-edge research in areas of mathematical and computational sciences useful in solving real-world problems via interdisciplinary approach for the benefit of the mankind, the institute uses its sphere of influence and helps to bring resource persons from various parts of the world. It believes in cooperation and works in collaboration with the Dept. of Mathematics, in particular, and other engineering Depts., in general.

Since its inception, over 100 research papers in refereed journals and 4 research monographs (including 2 major ones) have been published. Two international conferences on Recent Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications (RAMSA) were organized in 2009 and 2013. Several renowned scientists from various countries participated. Two research projects from Department of Science and Technology (DST) and National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy have been satisfactorily completed.

Under the able guidance of Prof. S. G. Deo, the former Director of the institute, the institute expanded its functions by organizing training programs for faculty and students appearing for the NET exam. Further workshops for the faculty of GVPCE and other institutes/colleges, at various levels (from school teachers to engineering faculty), have been organized.

Also, our college is an identified remote center of IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur for conducting Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) from the year 2015. as on date, three FDPs in Physics, Embedded Systems, and Power Systems were held.

= FACILITATING UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION =

= CAMPUS OVERVIEW =

The Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering (Autonomous) is a private, co-education engineering institute established in the year 1996. Spread over 21 acres in a beautiful green valley far from the frenzied crowd, it is one of the most - preferred private engineering colleges in and around Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. The educational trust is formed, managed and promoted by academicians, philanthropists and technocrats and believes in human capital formation for long-term growth.

The college offers instruction to 1200 undergraduate students in 7 branches of Engineering: Chemical, Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical engineering,  Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology(IT). The institution also offers Master of Computer Applications program and 13 Postgraduate education programs. The institute is accredited by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and re-accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council by 'A' grade with a CGPA of 3.47/4.00. Along with this, the college is sanctioned the extension of autonomy until 2020 by University Grants Commission (India)

= PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

Inspiration and Innovation deficiency in the students is more dangerous than the contagious disease. There is a lot of onus on educational institutions to make a student’s future, industry and market ready. GVP College of Engineering (A) recognized the need and significance to inspire students and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. The institution established Center for Innovation and introduced Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement to spearhead this mission and appointed a dedicated Director, Dr.Ravi Saripalle to oversee the center mission. The objective of this mission to inspire students by making them hear positive stories and positive NEWS, help them think differently and make them operate on a creative and innovative platform while disciplining as the common denominator.

With a mission, “Inspire through Storytelling - Innovate for Life turning” the above model brings distinction in promoting inspiration, thinking, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, professionalism, research and relevance to nation-building.

How is the CFI working on instilling Innovation?

1. Sending Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling e-newsletter to all IITs, IIMs, NITs, Universities and more than 10,000+ schools across India. Till date, 6 issues are sent across the Nation (85000+ individual emails sent so far).

2. These e-newsletters contain inspiring stories of people (achievers /failures) and live case studies to students on different levels helping them set the vision for themselves and execute goals without any external influence.

3. On the case to case basis, storytelling workshops are conducted on various school/college platforms thus encouraging Innovation.

4. A new concept of edutainment (education + entertainment) is introduced. This process cuts-down the re-skilling cost as individuals inspire and learn skills on their own.

= ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

The college encourages faculty to perform more research and development projects. There are around 38 research supervisors/ co-supervisors from different departments recognized by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada. Also funding from various external agencies is procured to facilitate the R&D projects.

There is a dedicated cell called the GVP-Prof.V. Lakshmikantham Institute for Advanced Studies (GVP-LIAS) (in place of Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute for Advanced Studies (GIAS)), established in 2007. It is the offspring of Prof. Lakshmikantham's vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. Lakshmikantham's generous financial support gave impetus to the growth of the institution.

With a vision to establish a Research Centre where the main purpose of its members is to conduct and foster original cutting-edge research in areas of mathematical and computational sciences useful in solving real-world problems via interdisciplinary approach for the benefit of the mankind, the institute uses its sphere of influence and helps to bring resource persons from various parts of the world. It believes in cooperation and works in collaboration with the Dept. of Mathematics, in particular, and other engineering Depts., in general.

Since its inception, over 100 research papers in refereed journals and 4 research monographs (including 2 major ones) have been published. Two international conferences on Recent Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications (RAMSA) were organized in 2009 and 2013. Several renowned scientists from various countries participated. Two research projects from Department of Science and Technology (DST) and National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy have been satisfactorily completed.

Under the able guidance of Prof. S. G. Deo, the former Director of the institute, the institute expanded its functions by organizing training programs for faculty and students appearing for the NET exam. Further workshops for the faculty of GVPCE and other institutes/colleges, at various levels (from school teachers to engineering faculty), have been organized.

Also, our college is an identified remote center of IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur for conducting Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) from the year 2015. as on date, three FDPs in Physics, Embedded Systems, and Power Systems were held.

Learning is not how much one can cramp up. Rather it's the knowledge that remains after one forgets what he/she learned in schools. Thus we emphasize on learning concepts with the help visuals and performing activities.Keeping this in view we are vouching for smart classroom learning to be introduced. This smart class room education system makes students get more interest on the lectures and also increase the student participation in a classroom environment.Through this Smart Learning concept we want the learners themselves to facilitate a framework in the concepts that will be later bridged by the teachers. The learners activate and build background knowledge, process information, transform their learning into a product(a picture, a mind map or a presentation) that shows what they know, and reflect on their learning. Then the teacher would wrap it up with anything missing from the student's part.Structured talk and assessment as and for learning are carefully woven into the process to build a thoughtful context for learning and to advance the thinking of all learners. Smart Learning realizes the goals of inclusivity and differentiation.Also The use of Education technology can bring a huge change in education. Internet and e learning devices can make classroom environment extremely amazing. Teaching through computer, internet and multimedia devices will be a common thing in future and we want to take a step towards it.[[File:Smart class Strategy.PNG|frame|Smart class Strategy.PNG]]

= #Strategy 2-Announcements =
“Every news in and around the campus must reach every student in the campus.”Every resource made available by the college can be utilised in a productive way only if every student gets to know of it. And for this we came up with a solution the smart way.The need of the hour is that Students are unable to recognise the different kinds of activities happening in and around college. This is because there are a number of classes and the canvassing panel members has to go around each class and share the announcement every now and then. But other than this there is no other way of communicating to the students about the workshops, competitions or any other activities going on.Also if the students are not present during the time the announcements are being made then there is no way for them except for word of mouth to know about what they have missed. As a result low participation is observed much to the disappointment of the organisers and the other students alike.Our solution to this challenge would be creating an App. As every student now is a n ardent mobile user they would get notifications right at their fingertips.This App would contain the following sections and will be accessible both by the faculty and the students thus again broadening the communication channel between the facilitators and the participants.<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Information on Events: Full details about all the upcoming events in and around the college will be available and updated timely.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Results or exam notifications: College results and notifications of other exams are viewed only through the official website until now. Also the students had to check every now and then to see if there is an update. The introduction of the app would mean students will automatically get regular updates and they won't need to check each and every time.  </li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Attendance manager: This will be to keep a check on the students attendance on a daily basis both by the students themselves and the faculty.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>College layout direction map: Basic information for anyone new to navigate in college.</li>
</ul>

= #Strategy 3-Industry Exposure =

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand", said Confucius, a teacher and philosopher.

To bridge the gap between the technical concepts taught in the classroom and their practical aspects, the students need to have a hands-on learning experience. For the very same reason, the Industry should be brought outside right outside the classroom.

Also, it has been widely reported time and again that university graduates need to be better prepared for the workplace. So, what better way to do this then let students experience doing real work while they are still studying?

The industry exposure enhances the undergraduate’s work life through added enthusiasm and commitment; provides a lifelong learning experience; is an opportunity to engage with the profession to which they aspire in a realistic work environment; appreciate and understand the practical application of their academic programme; work with professional mentors and to begin to build networks within their profession.

So, even before the student graduates, he or she is trained to be job-ready, thus increasing the student’s employment prospects.

We believe this could be done by introducing the following in curriculum - 

i. Industrial Visits

ii. In-Plant Trainings

iii. Projects

iv. Industry Recommended Electives

INDUSTRIAL VISIT:

Arranged right from first year onwards to groom students to Industry expectations.Regular Industrial Visits relevant to the respective departments should be arranged.

IN PLANT TRAINING:

Arranged periodically for duration primarily set. Students across all the years and departments should be deputed for undertaking In-Plant Training at Industries near the college.

PROJECTS:

Industry identified problems should be dealt by students with guidance from mentors both in college and the industry. This way the students will get an opportunity to work for and understand the conditions in the industry even before they step into it after graduation. This way also helps the industry identify the students with the skill set they are looking for, thus simplifying the whole process of recruitment later.

ELECTIVES BASED ON INDUSTRY INPUT:

The college should introduce Elective Subjects based on the recommendation from the Industry. This way the teaching and learning practices become learner-centric enhancing the employability of students.

= #Strategy 4-International Exposure =

For the growth of a college or any institution their relations should be strong globally. International collaborations always broaden the student and the colleges scope of development. Participation by more number of students in not just national events but also in global events should be looked upon.

Students need to excel themselves on global fronts; become more self-reliant and self-confident, gain valuable life skills and broaden their worldview. They should be able to represent themselves and their college with ease on an international platform.

Through international exposure students can build networks that can in turn raise their country’s profile and develop skills that contribute to jobs and growth.

It is a well known fact that students who are flexible, multilingual, and comfortable in multicultural settings have a higher chance to excel compared to their peers.

One way facilitate this would be setting up an International Affairs cell within the college as a platform to

1. Interact with the alumni who have pioneered in their careers.

2. Increase the student's participation on a global front.

Interaction with alumni:

Direct interaction with students who have already marked themselves would help us understands the process better. Their experience would serve as inspirational success stories and will definitely motivate students towards setting their goals high.

Increasing student participation in global events:

Collaborating with consultancies, foreign universities and local societies handling foreign projects would increase the exposure students get. The increase in participation will indirectly increase the colleges' recognition once again leading to student benefit.

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand", said Confucius, a teacher and philosopher.

To bridge the gap between the technical concepts taught in the classroom and their practical aspects, the students need to have a hands-on learning experience. For the very same reason, the Industry should be brought outside right outside the classroom.

Also, it has been widely reported time and again that university graduates need to be better prepared for the workplace. So, what better way to do this then let students experience doing real work while they are still studying?

The industry exposure enhances the undergraduate’s work life through added enthusiasm and commitment; provides a lifelong learning experience; is an opportunity to engage with the profession to which they aspire in a realistic work environment; appreciate and understand the practical application of their academic programme; work with professional mentors and to begin to build networks within their profession.

So, even before the student graduates, he or she is trained to be job-ready, thus increasing the student’s employment prospects.

We believe this could be done by introducing the following in curriculum - 

i. Industrial Visits

ii. In-Plant Trainings

iii. Projects

iv. Industry Recommended Electives

INDUSTRIAL VISIT:

Arranged right from first year onwards to groom students to Industry expectations.Regular Industrial Visits relevant to the respective departments should be arranged.

IN-PLANTTRAINING:

Arranged periodically for duration primarily set. Students across all the years and departments should be deputed for undertaking In-Plant Training at Industries near the college.

PROJECTS:

Industry identified problems should be dealt by students with guidance from mentors both in college and the industry. This way the students will get an opportunity to work for and understand the conditions in the industry even before they step into it after graduation. This way also helps the industry identify the students with the skill set they are looking for, thus simplifying the whole process of recruitment later.

ELECTIVES INTRODUCED BASED ON INDUSTRIES INPUTS:

The college should introduce Elective Subjects based on the recommendation from the Industry. This way the teaching and learning practices become learner-centric enhancing the employability of students.

= #Strategy 4-International Exposure =

For the growth of a college or any institution their relations should be strong globally. International collaborations always broaden the student and the colleges scope of development. Participation by more number of students in not just national events but also in global events should be looked upon.

Students need to excel themselves on global fronts; become more self-reliant and self-confident, gain valuable life skills and broaden their worldview. They should be able to represent themselves and their college with ease on an international platform.

Through international exposure students can build networks that can in turn raise their country’s profile and develop skills that contribute to jobs and growth.

It is a well known fact that students who are flexible, multilingual, and comfortable in multicultural settings have a higher chance to excel compared to their peers.

One way facilitate this would be setting up an International Affairs cell within the college as a platform to

1. Interact with the alumni who have pioneered in their careers.

2. Increase the student's participation on a global front.

Interaction with alumni:

Direct interaction with students who have already marked themselves would help us understands the process better. Their experience would serve as inspirational success stories and will definitely motivate students towards setting their goals high.

Increasing student participation in global events:

Collaborating with consultancies, foreign universities and local societies handling foreign projects would increase the exposure students get. The increase in participation will indirectly increase the colleges' recognition once again leading to student benefit.

“Every news in and around the campus must reach every student in the campus.”Every resource made available by the college can be utilised in a productive way only if every student gets to know of it. And for this we came up with a solution the smart way.The need of the hour is that Students are unable to recognise the different kinds of activities happening in and around college. This is because there are a number of classes and the canvassing panel members has to go around each class and share the announcement every now and then. But other than this there is no other way of communicating to the students about the workshops, competitions or any other activities going on.Also if the students are not present during the time the announcements are being made then there is no way for them except for word of mouth to know about what they have missed.

“Every news in and around the campus must reach every student in the campus.”Every resource made available by the college can be utilised in a productive way only if every student gets to know of it. And for this we came up with a solution the smart way.The need of the hour is that Students are unable to recognise the different kinds of activities happening in and around college. This is because there are a number of classes and the canvassing panel members has to go around each class and share the announcement every now and then. But other than this there is no other way of communicating to the students about the workshops, competitions or any other activities going on.Also if the students are not present during the time the announcements are being made then there is no way for them except for word of mouth to know about what they have missed. As a result low participation is observed much to the disappointment of the organisers and the other students alike.Our solution to this challenge would be creating an App. As every student now is a n ardent mobile user they would get notifications right at their fingertips.This App would contain the following sections and will be accessible both by the faculty and the students thus again broadening the communication channel between the facilitators and the participants.<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">

= #Strategy 3-Industry Exposure =

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand", said Confucius, a teacher and philosopher.

To bridge the gap between the technical concepts taught in classroom and their practical aspects, the students need to have hands on learning experience. For the very same reason the Industry should be brought outside right outside the classroom.

Also it has been widely reported time and again that university graduates need to be better prepared for the workplace. So, what better way to do this then let students experience doing real work while they are still studying?

The industry exposure enhances the undergraduate’s work life through added enthusiasm and commitment; provides a lifelong learning experience; is an opportunity to engage with the profession to which they aspire in a realistic work environment; appreciate and understand the practical application of their academic programme; work with professional mentors and to begin to build networks within their profession.

So, even before the student graduates, he or she is trained to be job-ready, thus increasing the student’s employment prospects.

We believe this could be done by introducing the following in curriculum - 

i. Industrial Visits

ii. In-Plant Trainings

iii. Projects

iv. Industry Recommended Electives

i. INDUSTRIAL VISIT :
Arranged right from first year on wards to groom students to Industry expectations.Regular Industrial Visits relevant to the respective departments should be arranged.
 ii. IN PLANT TRAINING:
Arranged periodically for duration primarily set.Students across all the years and departments should be deputed for undertaking In-Plant Training at Industries near the college.
 iii. PROJECTS:
Industry identified problems should be dealt by students with guidance from mentors both in college and the industry. This way the students will get an opportunity to work for and understand the conditions in the industry even before they step into it after graduation. This way also helps the industry identify the students with the skill set they are looking for, thus simplifying the whole process of recruitment later.iv. ELECTIVES INTRODUCED BASED ON INDUSTRIES INPUTS :The college should introduce Elective Subjects based on the recommendation from the Industry. This way the teaching and learning practices become learner – centric enhancing the employability of students.

= #Strategy 4-International Exposure =

For the growth of a college or any institution their relations should be strong globally. International collaborations always broaden the student and the colleges scope of development. Participation by more number of students in not just national events but also in global events should be looked upon.

Students need to excel themselves on global fronts; become more self-reliant and self-confident, gain valuable life skills and broaden their worldview. They should be able to represent themselves and their college with ease on an international platform.

Through international exposure students can build networks that can in turn raise their country’s profile and develop skills that contribute to jobs and growth.

It is a well known fact that students who are flexible, multilingual, and comfortable in multicultural settings have a higher chance to excel compared to their peers.

One way facilitate this would be setting up an International Affairs cell within the college as a platform to

1. Interact with the alumni who have pioneered in their careers.

2. Increase the student's participation on a global front.

Interaction with alumni:

Direct interaction with students who have already marked themselves would help us understands the process better. Their experience would serve as inspirational success stories and will definitely motivate students towards setting their goals high.

Increasing student participation in global events:

Collaborating with consultancies, foreign universities and local societies handling foreign projects would increase the exposure students get. The increase in participation will indirectly increase the colleges' recognition once again leading to student benefit.

= #Strategy 1-Smart Teaching and Learning =
Learning is not how much one can cramp up. Rather it's the knowledge that remains after one forgets what he/she learned in schools. Thus we emphasize on learning concepts with the help visuals and performing activities.Keeping this in view we are vouching for smart classroom learning to be introduced. This smart class room education system makes students get more interest on the lectures and also increase the student participation in a classroom environment.Through this Smart Learning concept we want the learners themselves to facilitate a framework in the concepts that will be later bridged by the teachers. The learners activate and build background knowledge, process information, transform their learning into a product(a picture, a mind map or a presentation) that shows what they know, and reflect on their learning. Then the teacher would wrap it up with anything missing from the student's part.Structured talk and assessment as and for learning are carefully woven into the process to build a thoughtful context for learning and to advance the thinking of all learners. Smart Learning realizes the goals of inclusivity and differentiation.Also The use of Education technology can bring a huge change in education. Internet and e learning devices can make classroom environment extremely amazing. Teaching through computer, internet and multimedia devices will be a common thing in future and we want to take a step towards it.[[File:Smart class Strategy.PNG|frame|Smart class Strategy.PNG]]

= CAMPUS OVERVIEW =

The Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering (Autonomous) is a private, co-education engineering institute established in the year 1996. Spread over 21 acres in a beautiful green valley far from the frenzied crowd, it is one of the most - preferred private engineering colleges in and around Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. The educational trust is formed, managed and promoted by academicians, philanthropists and technocrats and believes in human capital formation for long-term growth.

The college offers instruction to 1200 undergraduate students in 7 branches of Engineering: Chemical, Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical engineering,  Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology(IT). The institution also offers Master of Computer Applications program and 13 Postgraduate education programs. The institute is accredited by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and re-accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council by 'A' grade with a CGPA of 3.47/4.00. Along with this, the college is sanctioned the extension of autonomy until 2020 by University Grants Commission (India)

= PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

Inspiration and Innovation deficiency in the students is more dangerous than the contagious disease. There is a lot of onus on educational institutions to make a student’s future, industry and market ready. GVP College of Engineering (A) recognized the need and significance to inspire students and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. The institution established Center for Innovation and introduced Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement to spearhead this mission and appointed a dedicated Director, Dr.Ravi Saripalle to oversee the center mission. The objective of this mission to inspire students by making them hear positive stories and positive NEWS, help them think differently and make them operate on a creative and innovative platform while disciplining as the common denominator.

With a mission, “Inspire through Storytelling - Innovate for Life turning” the above model brings distinction in promoting inspiration, thinking, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, professionalism, research and relevance to nation-building.

How is the CFI working on instilling Innovation?

1. Sending Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling e-newsletter to all IITs, IIMs, NITs, Universities and more than 10,000+ schools across India. Till date, 6 issues are sent across the Nation (85000+ individual emails sent so far).

2. These e-newsletters contain inspiring stories of people (achievers /failures) and live case studies to students on different levels helping them set the vision for themselves and execute goals without any external influence.

3. On the case to case basis, storytelling workshops are conducted on various school/college platforms thus encouraging Innovation.

4. A new concept of edutainment (education + entertainment) is introduced. This process cuts-down the re-skilling cost as individuals inspire and learn skills on their own.

= ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

The college encourages faculty to perform more research and development projects. There are around 38 research supervisors/ co-supervisors from different departments recognized by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada. Also funding from various external agencies is procured to facilitate the R&D projects.

There is a dedicated cell called the GVP-Prof.V. Lakshmikantham Institute for Advanced Studies (GVP-LIAS) (in place of Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute for Advanced Studies (GIAS)), established in 2007. It is the offspring of Prof. Lakshmikantham's vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. Lakshmikantham's generous financial support gave impetus to the growth of the institution.

With a vision to establish a Research Centre where the main purpose of its members is to conduct and foster original cutting-edge research in areas of mathematical and computational sciences useful in solving real-world problems via interdisciplinary approach for the benefit of the mankind, the institute uses its sphere of influence and helps to bring resource persons from various parts of the world. It believes in cooperation and works in collaboration with the Dept. of Mathematics, in particular, and other engineering Depts., in general.

Since its inception, over 100 research papers in refereed journals and 4 research monographs (including 2 major ones) have been published. Two international conferences on Recent Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications (RAMSA) were organized in 2009 and 2013. Several renowned scientists from various countries participated. Two research projects from Department of Science and Technology (DST) and National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy have been satisfactorily completed.

Under the able guidance of Prof. S. G. Deo, the former Director of the institute, the institute expanded its functions by organizing training programs for faculty and students appearing for the NET exam. Further workshops for the faculty of GVPCE and other institutes/colleges, at various levels (from school teachers to engineering faculty), have been organized.

Also, our college is an identified remote center of IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur for conducting Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) from the year 2015. as on date, three FDPs in Physics, Embedded Systems, and Power Systems were held.

= FACILITATING UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION =

Collaboration between colleges and industries is very crucial for skills development, acquisition and adoption of knowledge. It also plays a major role in the promotion of entrepreneurship.

A total of 13 MOUs were signed with Industry Partners that include:

#Jengu Water Pvt Ltd, USA
#The Government of A.P
#Tata Consultancy Services
#Infosys
#IBM
#Wipro
#Solivar
#Microsoft
#CISCO
#EMC
#Ecologic/ Macred Pharma Ltd, India
#Vasudha Pharma, India
#Kalpah Innovations Private Limited

= ENGAGING WITH REGIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS =

Centre for fostering social responsibility (CFSR) in our college was Initiated in 2014-15 as an Apex body for fostering social responsibility in students with an aim to instill passion in community engagement among students for the long-term development of youth in general and society in particular.

Its main Objectives are-

*Linking learning with community service

*Linking research with community knowledge

It is the offspring of Prof. Lakshmikantham's vision for a research institute that encompasses a broad spectrum of areas and the management’s initiative to support it. Prof. Lakshmikantham's generous financial support gave impetus to the growth of the institution.

With a vision to establish a Research Centre where the main purpose of its members is to conduct and foster original cutting-edge research in areas of mathematical and computational sciences useful in solving real-world problems via interdisciplinary approach for the benefit of the mankind, the institute uses its sphere of influence and helps to bring resource persons from various parts of the world. It believes in cooperation and works in collaboration with the Dept. of Mathematics, in particular, and other engineering Depts., in general.

Since its inception, over 100 research papers in refereed journals and 4 research monographs (including 2 major ones) have been published. Two international conferences on Recent Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications (RAMSA) were organized in 2009 and 2013. Several renowned scientists from various countries participated. Two research projects from Department of Science and Technology (DST) and National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy have been satisfactorily completed.

Under the able guidance of Prof. S. G. Deo, the former Director of the institute, the institute expanded its functions by organizing training programs for faculty and students appearing for the NET exam. Further workshops for the faculty of GVPCE and other institutes/colleges, at various levels (from school teachers to engineering faculty), have been organized.

Also, our college is an identified remote center of IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur for conducting Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) from the year 2015. as on date, three FDPs in Physics, Embedded Systems, and Power Systems were held.

'''PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP'''

Inspiration and Innovation deficiency in the students is more dangerous than contagious disease. There is lot of onus on educational institutions to make a student’s future, industry and market ready. GVP College of Engineering (A) recognized the need and significance to inspire students and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. Institution established Center for Innovation and introduced Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement to spearhead this mission and appointed a dedicated Director, Dr.Ravi Saripalle to oversee the center mission. The objective of this mission to inspire students by making them hear positive stories and positive NEWS, help them think differently, and make them to operate on creative and innovative platform while discipline as common denominator. With a mission, “Inspire through Storytelling - Innovate for Life turning” the above model brings distinction in promoting inspiration, thinking, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, professionalism, research and relevance to nation building. How the CFI is working on instilling Innovation ? 1. Sending Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling e-NEWSletter to all IITs, IIMs, NITs, Universities and more than 10,000+ schools across India. Till date 6 issues are sent across the Nation (85000+ individual emails sent so far) (letters are displayed on [http://i2iTM.blogspot.com http://i2iTM.blogspot.com]). 2. These e-NEWSletters contain inspiring stories of people (achievers /failures) and live case studies to students on different levels helping them set vision for themselves and execute goals without any external influence. 3. On case to case basis, storytelling workshops are conducted on various school/college platforms thus encouraging Innovation. 4. A new concept of edutainment (education + entertainment) is introduced. This process cuts-down the re-skilling cost as individuals inspire and learn skill on their own.

'''ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP'''

The college encourages faculty to perform more research and development projects. There are around 38 research supervisors/ co-supervisors from different departments recognised by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada.
Also funding from various external agencies is procured to facilitate the R&D projects worth Rs. 776.33 lakhs.

Resource:How to create a design thinking class for incoming first-year students

2017-09-08T19:23:49Z

Bhavyatha:

== Need ==

The need identified in this “How To” is to create a design thinking class for the incoming first year students. A popular topic in the UIF exploration of higher education is the incorporation of design thinking; which when incorporated into curriculum is highly beneficial.

Through this article we discuss how one might implement an introductory course for first year students with advice from current fellow, Jason Weis.  Jason is a fourth year student studying Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Georgia Tech (GT). At Georgia Tech, Weis has been involved with many mentorship programs, including being a co-founder of the campus wide KNIT Mentorship and a leader of the BME Mentorship Program.

Since becoming a UIF in March of 2017, Jason and the GT Leadership Circle have designed and implemented a class that integrates design thinking and Biomedical Engineering.
<div> </div>

== Objectives and Goals ==

The purpose behind the course is to lay a framework of design thinking skills that students will use later in their college careers while simultaneously learning about their major. Design thinking helps make introductory courses more experiential and engaging. This occurs through a series of brainstorming workshops and creative projects that develop ideation and problem solving skills.

== Why Design thinking? ==

A design thinking background helps students explore their majors in a deeper way.  It is a style of learning made famous through Stanford’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design as a successful strategy for innovation. Design thinking enables students to explore their ideas and dive deep into their meanings.

== Academic Permissions ==

Academic permission may be required to integrate design thinking into a introductory course. In some cases, permission comes from faculty support and committee acceptance. In other cases, it may require a more stringent administrative review. In the past, oppositions have been persuaded after one-day “pop up classes” have gained student interest. This can be a way to show to the administrative staff and faculty that these forms of experiential classes are needed to promote positive growth within the university.

== Support ==

Academic support is one of the hardest, but most important steps in creating change. There are three major groups to interact with that will enable the support for creating a design thinking course:

1. Students

Getting a large audience on board is an important step. It is the responsibility of the organizers to make sure to evoke interest in students through interactive exercises and fun-filled activities. Word of mouth plays a critical role in these endeavours, so make sure students leave the class with fervor for design thinking and inspire more students to join the class.

2. Faculty

Faculty support is crucial to creating change in the curriculum. Whether the course is taught by fellows or by faculty, both parties must be in communication so to revise the course and continuously prepare students for the major studies. Working with these professors will eventually lead us to the right people and help create change.  

3. Administrators

Administration can be difficult to receive support from.  Faculty support and student interests are powerful rhetorics in this instance.  Receiving financial support from the school is also crucial to providing classroom resources and materials.  In previous years, resources for a design thinking course have been conservative and have included low-cost rapid prototyping materials of the likes of post-its, paper, tape, and scissors.
<div> </div>

== Faculty ==
The faculty or fellows are the instructors who act as facilitators for design thinking, some of their duties include:·         Teaching the students what design thinking is·         Guiding the students through their designs·         Mentoring students throughout their projects·         Inspiring students imagination and creativity<div> </div>

== Students ==

Students who do well in the course could potentially be trained to teach the following year; however, as of now only University Innovation Fellows have been trained to facilitate the course. Georgia Tech Innovation Fellows like Jason Weis are teaching the first iteration of the course specifically for first year Biomedical Engineering students. Students are inspired by the UIF team and their creative lens. Through this design thinking class they are able to show amazing results in the form of prototypes, presentations, and many more.

== Timeline ==

The course can be developed as a full semester credit/uncredited course or it could be expressed as a  course of a shorter length. This entirely depends on the time available and student interest. Make sure that the course is a blend of short theoretical lectures and practical hands-on sessions. Start slow and gradually increase the pace of the course as students get a hold of the subject.

== Class Structure ==

== Grading System ==

Depending on whether it would be a credited or uncredited course, adjustments to the grading system can be made. While grades do play a key role in the academic setting, make sure that students do not get obsessed with the grading of this course. Participation must be rewarded by having a certain weightage in the grade. Some of the recommended grading points can be
