<p style="text-align: justify;"> '''J'''awaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada (JNTUK) was initially incepted with the name “'''The College of Engineering – Vizagapatnam” in 1946'''. The university grew out of that college. Spread over a sprawling campus of '''110 acres''' in port city of Kakinada, the college became a constituent unit of JNTU Hyderabad in 1972. Subject to the bifurcation of JNTU, it was notified as JNTUK by the act of legislature in 2008 as separate university. JNTUK has THREE Constituent colleges under its fold''': University College of Engineering (autonomous) Kakinada, University College of Engineering Vizianagaram and University College of Engineering Narasaraopet'''. JNTUK has nearly '''''268 affiliated colleges'''''under the jurisdiction of 8 districts.</p>
'''INTRODUCTION TO UCEN JNTUK'''
<p style="text-align: justify;">The University College of Engineering JNTUK Narasaraopet (UCEN) was started in '''''June 2016''''' with Five under Graduate Engineering Courses Viz., B.Tech. in Civil, EEE, Mechanical, ECE and CSE as a constituent college of JNTUK, Kakinada. The Andhra Pradesh State Government has allotted '''85.94 Acres land''' in Kakani village, Narasaraopet Mandal for the institute under G.O.Ms.NO.72 and North East of the land is just at the foot of KotappaKonda. Foundation advancement works Phase-I was authorized by University to a tune of 30 Crores out of 80 Crore budget. The College is temporarily located at '''NBT campus in Palnadu Road, Narasaraopet'''and facilitates both Boys and Girls Hostels within the town. The institute is offering corporate and Industrial Consultancy Services for quality material testing, compliance reports and testing programmes. Institute encourages the students to participate in technical competitions held in premier institutes like IITs and NITs. Sports, games and yoga are practiced daily by the students.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Rs. 29 lakh was granted for the present Academic Year exclusively for the Library for Procuring technical books, and about '''8000 Titles''' of General Books-Fiction, Autobiographies, Epics, Historical, and Competitive Exams etcetera. About '''150 Computer Systems''' of latest configuration are being procured for the State of art Computer Laboratory. Experienced and qualified faculty of repute are the main strength of the institute.</p>
'''In Detail''' '''PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP'''
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Our college main mission is not to see students as job seekers but to see them as job creators. So to achieve this, our college encourages students towards Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Our college collaborates with APSSDC (Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation) which offers wide range of opportunities to enhance skills and assists students in the fields of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. It is a state government organisation. It comes up with various workshops and innovative programs to develop Andhra Pradesh state as Hub of Innovation and to prosper Andhra Pradesh as a top state in India.</p>
Our University has various operational centres to promote Innovation and Entrepreneurship: · Design Incubation Centre · Design Innovation Centre · Infrastructure Development Centre · Research and Development Centre There are a few instances to say that our students are more oriented towards innovation.
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Generally in chemistry lab we discharge out acids and bases but knowingly or unknowingly we are polluting our land by releasing them directly to the ground. Few students came forward to sort out this issue by the construction of Acid Base Neutralization tank which might be the first kind of initiative in India to neutralize both acids and bases.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ours is a newly established college so there is a problem for basic infrastructural facilities. Our students have come up with a wonderful solution to use waste water bottles which are available in and around campus. The bottles are filled with construction waste and they are used in the place of bricks as construction units which greatly reduces the construction cost and encourages use of waste in construction.</p>
'''ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP'''
<p style="text-align: justify;"> There is a famous saying “'''''Practise what you preach'''''”. Our college faculty are always oriented towards innovations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Our principal '''''Dr KVSG Murali Krishna'''''is a famous author with more than 24 titles like Basic Skills of Engineering, Personality Development, Air Pollution and Control, Placement and Personality Development etc. in his name. He also published 69 papers and 12 International journals.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Our Vice Principal '''''Dr N Balaji''''' is also a person with lot of Innovation. His ideas always inspires us. He has filed several patents in her name which are published in Indian Patent Journal and awaiting for granting</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">· “A wire-less system to reliably control a large network of street lighting systems from a central location through FM broadcast” in “The Patent Office Journal”, Issue No'''. '''08/2015page no.26144 dated20/02/2015. Application Number: 5244/CHE/2012</p><p style="text-align: justify;">· “An intelligent and intuitive signalling system for motor vehicles to minimize road accidents” in “The Patent Office Journal”, Issue No'''. '''08/2015page no.26169 dated20/02/2015. Application Number: 5245/CHE/2012</p><p style="text-align: justify;">· An integrated computing system and a process to generate the driver Safety index for preventing automobile accidents in “The Patent Office Journal”, Issue No'''. '''08/2015page no.26170 dated20/02/2015, Application Number: 5246/CHE/2012</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Our Training and Placement Officer, who is also our Faculty Campion, '''''Dr. G. Madhavi''''' has filed several patents in her name which are published in Indian Patent Journal and awaiting for granting in the research areas of Image Processing and Biometrics. They are:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Hybrid Approach for Multimodal Biometric Template Security (05-04-2013)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Automotive Security System Using Embedded Biometrics (07-06-2013)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Enhancing The Security Strength Of Cloud Computing Through Biometric Template Protection Scheme (23-08-2013)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. A Secured Optimized Multimodal Biometric Identification System (OMBIS) For Remote Infrastructure Management (21-02-2014)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">She also published 11 journals. We have directorate of '''''Faculty Development Centre''''' at our University head quarters to keep all our constituent colleges faculty updated with latest technologies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">'''ACTIVELY SUPPORTING THE UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'' “Education is transformation”''. When the knowledge transfers we can create wonders. We collaborate with Foreign Universities through directorate of FOREIGN UNIVERSITY RELATIONS which is a platform to transfer knowledge and technology vividly. APSSDC also acts as a carrier of knowledge transfer between many Universities within the state of Andhra Pradesh.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'''FACILITATING UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> What present day higher education in India lacks, is the collaboration of industry requirements and skills in students. Students are unable to gain the required skills and learn the required knowledge which is must to get employed in any industry. JNTUK University has signed several MoUs with various industries to provide opportunities to students through directorate of ''INDUSTRY INSTITUTE INTERACTION PLACEMENTS AND TRAINING ''there by reducing the gap between industries and University.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'''WITH REGIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'' “We are what we contribute”''; our college stands at front row, when society needs us. There are a few glimpses which uniquely identifies UCEN from other colleges are:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">· In 2016 (Year when UCEN was established) Narasaraopet witnessed huge floods and many areas in the town are drown. Our college faculty and students went to few areas and distributed water packets and food packets.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When Government of India banned 500 and 1000 rupee notes, people suffered to do transactions. At that time, we went to local villages and educated people about cashless transactions through online banking and assisted them in creating bank accounts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Recently when Kerala faced the most devastating floods in the history of the state, our college students campaigned in Narasaraopet and created awareness among people to donate to CM Relief Fund of Kerala along with crowd funding through NSS with motto of ''“Giving is Living”''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Students of UCEN also created awareness about cleanliness as they know that “''Cleanliness is Equal to Godliness”''. They did a campaign in ''Uppalapadu''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'''Others'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">· Even though ours is a newly established college, we excel in many aspects technically and generally. One of the things is organizing national level students’ technical symposia to show case their ideas, projects and innovations. Recently ''three'' fests are organized by students of ECE, CSE and ME departments :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">''Ecentrix'' by ECE</p><p style="text-align: justify;">''SpeCSEr'' by CSE</p><p style="text-align: justify;">''ME’xcel'' by ME</p><p style="text-align: justify;">· We also stand first in conserving nature and is achieved at early stages of our presence by establishing Rain water Harvesting pit and pond.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Under NSS (National Service Scheme) wing, we perform a wide range of activities which are required for a better society to live in.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">· Ours is a Green Campus with an eco score of 70/100, which may be the first in India to analyse eco score of an institution.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Conclusion:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As ours is a three year old college we may have less infrastructure and facilities. But we are blessed with great faculty who always encourages towards Innovation. We encouraged to work on with every small Idea we have. We are also looking forward to solve all the problems with the introduction of peer to peer interactions and organizing students clubs which improves communication skills and shows a platform to discuss ideas towards Innovation and finally mould them as Entrepreneurs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <br/></p>
