= INVOLVING COURSE RELATED TO I&E: =

I&E cell enhances the creative thinking abilities of a student. It aims at bringing out the entrepreneurial skills of a student. In order to make I&E more effective, introduction of a course that focuses on innovation, is essential.

'''PROCESS:'''

<li>First, care should be taken in framing the course and syllabus. It should be a interactive course without putting more burden on the students.</li><li>Next challenge is to introduce this course to the students of all the disciplines. Preferably in the second year itself, this course should be made as a part of the curriculum. Mr.Jagadeesh Babu, coordinator of  I&E cell  shall teach the course. It would be apt to name the course as 'Basics of Innovation & Entrepreneurship'</li><li>Every semester this course shall be offered and the maximum of  200 students shall be taken in for the course.</li><li>Since there are students from different branches, we planned to have the classes during 3 -4 , where at least students from few branches have a free period. It shall be a 30 hour course.</li><li>A minimum of 60% of marks are required to complete the course successfully.  Students who have successfully attended the course shall be provided 3 credits.</li><li>Faculty coordinator of  ED cell MR.Vara Prasad and the Department Of Management Studies shall also be involved in teaching the course.</li><li>In order to help students to think innovatively , various activities related to innovation, few workshops and project expo's need to be implemented .</li><li>Collaborative learning should be developed among students to make learning more interesting, students should be given more opportunities to share their ideas and knowledge.</li><li>At the end of the course, students must be asked to identify a problem within their class and come up with the possible solutions and select the best one. This can be done by interaction with fellow students. Students can take help from the club coordinators regarding this aspect.</li><li>Instead of having a normal evaluation process that generally involves written tests, students can be assessed based on their performance regarding solving the problem that they have identified.</li>

</ul>

== SUPPORTING PROJECTS : ==

We do not have this project park where the  innovative projects are exhibited and now we are deriving a strategy for this problem as mentioned below.

== PROCESS ==

=== Project Park: ===

<li>We are in the process of implementing this in our college .</li><li>Students who have ideas to make projects will be involving several stages where the ideas are collected and they are developed under mentorship of faculty and these  developed projects are exhibited in the 3-5 day park in our campus.</li><li>It means that all the projects related to all streams can exhibit them in the park .Through this they can come up with their ideas i.e. their projects.Invitation will be sent to other colleges and also to the famous funding agencies so that the best  projects will be funded.</li><li>From this, student can get encouragement and this leads them towards entrepreneurship.</li>

</ul>

=== Resources provided by I&E: ===

In the process of completing the projects successfully students need the resources, money, guidance from I&E. So, I&E is planning to have the following resources

<li>It takes almost 3 to 4 months to complete the projects.</li><li>Students must form into group of 4(maximum of 2 from each department) and select a mentor of their choice from each department. This makes the project inter-disciplinary.</li><li>In a week’s time, students start working out on their projects.</li><li>In order to make sure their projects are going on as per schedule, they have to send their progress monthly to faculty whom they opted as their mentor</li><li>If anyone wants to add extensions to their project and need financial support, they get ‘seed money’ of about $1600</li><li>They have to wait for one month to get the requested seed money K. Chokkanathan, I&E cell coordinator takes care of these. This request process is done in the month of March.</li>

</ul>

=== EXECUTION PROCESS: ===

Every year we are planning to exhibit it in the months’ of December and March. We are going to present all the projects which are better and useful to the society. So after presenting these projects park all the industries and companies who have visited the park can have a chance to buy those projects and ultimately leads students towards entrepreneurship..<~~div><br~~/span>~~</div>~~==
