Fall 2017 UIF Strategic Priorities

Strategy #1: Formation of ECC (Extracurricular Club).

We shall form a club called ECC, which is a place for their hobbies (like Photography, Short Films, especially Sports), in other words weform hobby Clubs.

Why we took ECC as an option over all other solutions?

The first question that we answer is “Why to form a new club rather than using the existing ones in our college?”The answer is very simple there are no clubs in our college which are determined to work over the extracurricular objectives,thoughsome clubs like YES+ and PAIE are working on some of those activities they are completely different and they share no common core.By forming club we don’t mean of forming a completely new but to make all other clubs working independently to work together and allocating a common place for them.

Working:

Initially, all of these would be formed in small rooms and works after class hours then everything will be developed to a commonplace or common building based on the economic resources available then.

Sports Club: Initially the club will be formed as both PT(Physical trainers, who are already available in our college)as heads of these cubs.The work done by them is conducting monthly competitions and raising funds, recruiting coaches for respective sports and conducting summer coaching classesetc.
Short film & Photography Club: Our campus is located in an ecosystem where photography and short film making is very high, but every resource and people are not at one place so they could use them with much more efficiency.so our second part of ECC will be short film and photography club.It will unite all the people with interest and resource at one place.Fund raising will be done by conducting workshops on photography by the members of the club to the interested ones,and once the fund is raised the club itself sponsors and makes films under our college banner.
College Radio & Newspaper:Our third part is campus newspaper and radio.This will be the best place for running any campaigns or passing any information fastly on our campus.

Dance & Music Club:In this, we include different working clubs like PAIE and YES+ to this segments so they can work in more optimum level.

Strategy #2: Promoting I&E on our campus.

It can be achieved bymakingi-hub & SACas the place where all the departmental organizations(like ACE, AEE, IETE, IE, AME, CSI) collaborate.

Why we took this as an option over all of the solutions?

We thought that rather than forming a new club or increasing the number of programmes we shall first inculcate I&E style thinking among the students.For this, weare using available organizations toaccomplish this purpose.

Working:

As departmental organizations conduct events every week, we ask them to conduct some sessions like Brainstorming on I&E, design thinking, and real-world problem solving etc.
We conduct “Yearly summit” promoting I&E. You may ask me “whyto conduct a Yearly Summit to promote I&E ?” , Well, here is what I personally felt, when I was in my first year of my bachelor's degree, I thought that to be an Entrepreneur we need to have a good economic background. By Conducting Yearly summits we can promote I&E on a great scale.
By conducting some Innovation Convention programs across the campus.
Conducting motivation talks to students.

Thus as we collaborate with departmental organizations, the reachability of I&E will be high, and within no time we can see a great I&E on our campus.

Strategy #3: Enhancing Student - Industry RelationShip.

Our college definitely lacks ingoodindustryto student relationship.We are well educated but don’t have industrial exposure.

Why we took this as an option over all of the solutions?

We took this other than going for industrial tour or organisingworkshops because they would disturb the curriculum here in the college.Hence we try to link the problems faced by real companies and give to our students to solve.Students may not get the right solution but it would definitely make them familiar to industrialscenario,wewould transfer some of best solutions to industries and they would decide on the solution practicality and would use if that worth them or else they would give a feedback.

Nowadays, a student can get good Industrial exposure when he/she works as an intern in any company. This is the only way that students nowadays choose, but it has many backdrops like missing classes and many other. So, we came up with some ideas like

Making students work on some practicalprojects (like creating Web Applications for schools, hospitals or Developing censored based IoT products for some real-time house Automation).
Student partnerships programs with various Internship providing platforms like InternShala Student partners program, provide an opportunity to peers at his/her campus to be well updated with the latest Internship or research opportunities.
Maintaining good relations with local companies andresearch incubators inour ecosystem.

By doing so, Students on the campus can have some really good exposure towards clients-server based relations when they are actually studying.

Strategy #4: Changing the Way of Teaching.

We think that old teaching methodologies are taking students back in time, they(students) are bounded in college and could not go out and learn new things and technologies, the mediumthrough which education is delivered is also very old.

Why we took this as an option over all of the solutions?

We think that ifattendance andmedium of delivering subject were changed, would give the benefits of all other ideas.we talked to peers and our mentor and faculty and came to this solution.As mentioned above we believe that old teaching techniques are taking students back in time than fourth.We think that this is the root most problem to be solved.

We are going to solve this with 2 solutions.

We first thought of digitalising classrooms;” which is pretty much old” right ? so we thought that we shouldnormalsmartIdea and that gave us the thought of a”VIRTUAL REALITY CLASSROOM”

This works as follows; by using 360°cameras we shoot all the instruments and working with top industries, making portions of technologies, projects under a building and so on.we then place a trail class room in every department and each student and teacher are given VR Boxes the and are taken to the place where real things actually work virtually.There will be a sound system in the room so thatteachercould teach the students on the go of the tour.

The other most common problem we face is Attendance.

We believe that being an Engineer in 21st century mean he/she should not limit their learning in the four bounded walls of the college but travel, explore, watch, communicate and learn.But to do this attendance will be the restrictive term stopping us.

But removing the attendance will be a very bad option because this would drastically disturb the college learning environment.

So we thought of an idea called“go with your attendance”

This idea is all about creating a platform where students can sign up with their registration numbers and every teacher in the college will have their respective pages where all the classes they took in the semester would be uploaded on go.Every student who signs up will have two choices whether

1. He could watch them for free or

2. If he is out of the station and missed the session he could get attendance for the videos he watched but every attendance granting video will be with some cost ,once he pays the fee he is allowed to view the video and at the end he should answer some random questions to ensure he successfully watched it which is the primary motive of attendance .once a student completes all these his registration number will be appeared on respective teacher’s profile and thus he will be awarded with attendance.So this will give students freedom of learning whenever they want and will grant time for them to work on their passions.

So we think these two solutions could be the primary steps towards the change that we all wish to see in the future.

Strategy #2: Misconceptions handling and Motivating students.

There are a lot of misconceptions in students regarding the college. Although, the college is veryintrestedin providing a platform for its students they feel that the college isn't providing resources for their projects. At the same timewe also have to act as a mediator between the students and the college management which helps them in building mutual relations with each other.

One of the main mottos of Team I-Hub is to become a platform b/w students and management which solves this problem. Every Doubts,Questions,Problems of the students can be brought to team I-Hub which are then cleared by Team I-Hub who will escalate the problem to the management.

#Motivating Students

Another problem which we observed from our students is that they lack Motivation. As we know Motivation keeps usMovingforwardin any aspect we do. So,We had a strategy to motivate students where people from different fields will address the students once in every 10 days. These guests may be a senior professor,entreprenuer,etc., The main motto of this program being conducted once in every 10 days is to motivate students in a wathat they will get the confidence to achieve what they want.

· Influential alumni speak on entrepreneur, management and communication skills.

· Creating awarenessonentrepreneurship.

· Noticing them about various events and motivating them to participate in it.

· Assigning a mentor to a group of students. May be faculty or senior students.

· Orientations on Better ways to organize work and time management.

· Career Guidance through orientations and live videos by Principal, Hod, and other faculty members.

· Awarding freshmen students, who comes up with the best innovative idea.

Strategy #3: College app for information access and feedback.

Now-a-days people are good at using apps rather than reading books. Our college doesn't have an app although people are more interested in using that. So, in order to pass the necessary information we hereby come up with an idea of developing a college app.

This app works under the following guidelines :

· Giving a unique ID to allit'susers

· Providing details of allit'sdepartments

· Including faculty

· Letting students connected with the faculty for guidance

· Giving information regarding the assignments Information regarding Events conducted by various departmentalorganisations

· Ratings of the events conducted by clubs

· Feedbacks concerned with the respective faculty

· Newsfeed regarding what"s going on! in the college

· Information regarding the percentage of attendance the student secured

· Schedules of all the lectures

In thiswaypeople get more connected with the faculty and with the information about various programs.

Strategy #4 :Encouraging Sport :

There is no information about the games conducted in and outside of thecolloge.P.E.T(Physical Education Teacher) shows interest for only specific games and neglects the other games.

So, there is an idea to start a sports club. Which brings students talent out (who are interested). It's main motto is to encourage the hidden talents of the students which in turn helps in employability. This club contains a group of students (students from every game) for driving this .So, every activities will be conducted by these students.

#How to select the club members:

These club members are the captains of each game (Cricket, football, Volley ball, Basket ball…..etc).

#Role of Club members:

They directly deals with the Principal and P.E.T regarding any sports event that should be conducted or running events outside the college. They need to select the students for college team of each game for the next academic year.

#Clear Idea How the Club is going to run:

Step 1:Encouraging every Section From Every Department: (department like CSE, ECE, EEE, MECH, IT, CIVIL)

In our college there are 6 departments Each department contains students of 4 years . Each academic year has 4 sections .As soon as the club starts functioning they conduct a introductory event of one and half month. Event in the sense a competition that brings seriousness among the interested candidates in each section of the department.

This one and half month introductory eventisdivided into 6 weeks . each for each department, for examplefirst goes ECE .The week allotted for eceis again divided into 5 days. 1stday for all sections of 1styear. Each Section Should bringthereteams for the respective games like volleyball, cricket ,tennis….etc. Among these teamsthe club members select the students and form a team of 1styear. The same thing happens with the Second years, third years and fourth yearsof ece.

Now the fifthday thecompetition will be among the selected candidates of 1st,2nd,3rdand 4thofeceand a finial team from Ece will be picked out irrespective of the academic years only based on the talent and skill.

In coming weekssamething will happen with the other branches too. That means at the end of the one and month event we have 6 department teams for each game .

Step 2:

After a month gap .There will be 6 teams for each game from all branches .we schedule the second event with the 6 branch teams for each games . From this 6 teams they scrutinize their skill and pick a single team for each game. That is “COLLEGE TEAM”

In Andhra Pradesh college fests will be conducted in the second half of the academic year generally they include sports .So this college teams practice for those fests

Step3:

· The Club members encourage them for participating in different college fests and other competitions.

These 3 steps go incyclic mannerevery academic year.
