Overview

Coming soon: Your Video (Session 5)

In order to overcome all the hurdles and improve the productivity of our college. We have designed a study approach and listed out things that are needed in order to produce an overall improvement in the campus

Strategy #1: To Bring Awareness among Students and Faculty

Lack of awareness is obviously the major cause for any problem we come across in our life. So, we decided to start from clearing it. We thought bringing awareness will eventually create interest and help in an individuals development. These are the strategies we thought of could help bring about awareness among students and faculty

  • Conducting workshops to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus.
  • Reaching out to friends and acquaintances and explaining the importance of I&E.
  • Providing place where one can freely express their ideas and plans.

Strategy #2: Allowing Interdisciplinary Collaboration

We cannot provide the most efficient output when we leave out some variables. Only when we combine all the ideas can we put forward the most suitable solution for any given problem. In case of engineering, we are separated by our discipline. So, a engineer can provide a perfect output when he can think beyond departmental boundaries. Such thinking ability can be brought about by

  • Conducting events and competitions that go beyond those boundaries.
  • Starting clubs that promote and provide space for innovative developments.

Strategy #3: Research Promotion and Skill Development

We firmly believe that doing is way better than learning. If we are able to create interest within student to follow their interests and wok on them, they will be able to excell in any field. To create such interest and to provide them with skills required, we are planning to

  • encourage students to go on internship programs and providing credits for doing so.
  • Allowing students to have more wet lab space.

This not only improves their skill but also acts as a accelerant for their thoughts. They may find their field of interest and start working on it. Thus, it helps in promoting research and development in the campus.

Strategy #4: Encouraging Entrepreneurship and Support Marketing

Students can be more co-operative and productive when they know that the institution is supporting any positive idea they have in mind. So, we are providing a platform where not only can students present and prototype their ideas but can also patent and market their products. This can be achieved by

  • Providing financial support for research and entrepreneurial projects.
  • Providing a business space to market their research and/or product or prototype and inviting various companies to present their view on the project.
  • Providing guidance and training to students to follow their interests.
