Date: 09th July 2018 Time: 10:00 AM -1:30 PM

Name of the Activity: Registration and interaction with first year students and parents

The induction program started on 09th July with the registration of newly admitted

students. After the completion of registration process, a meeting of college authorities with

the students and parents was arranged to raise awareness.

8

Date: 10th July 2018 Time: 10:00 AM -12:30 PM

Name of the Activity: Literature (Classical and Contemporary) in vernacular language -

Personality Development.

Speaker: Poet Sri Garikapati Narasimha Rao

Profile: Maha Sahasravadhani, Padhya Kesari, Sri Garikapati Narasimha Rao is a luminary

in a unique Telugu literary and intellectual tradition called “Avadhanam” where one subjects

himself to the grilling of several literary experts over many hours and days, retaining every

sound bite and repeating and reinterpreting when requested. Sri Garikapati has performed

many such ‘avadhanams’ and is a household name in the Telugu community across media

channels.

Salient Points Conveyed: Sri Rao’s

invocation with his own compositions on

divinity has tuned everyone into rapt attention

for his words to follow. He continued with

many similes, metaphors and allegories

which captured the attention of all the

audience. He lamented that such a treasure of

knowledge and wisdom is remaining

untapped, as the younger generations glue their eyes to screens big and small. He elaborated

on how information is transformed to knowledge by action and further to wisdom by practice

and perseverance. He advised the students to acquire a habit of respecting others, particularly

parents and teachers who have a keen interest

in their development. By posing riddles in

language and solving them, he demonstrated

how the discrimination, memory and

intelligence can be continuously improved.

Only by guiding our mind into the unknown

do we develop new mental pathways and

improve our personality. He has quoted

prolifically from classical Telugu Literature. By taking very well known incidents in the

9

puranas he has introduced the ‘dimension’ of context into perceived problems. When we look

at a problem sans the context, it appears to be insurmountable. However, by bringing the

context into the fore, we will discover opportunities to overcome the very problems. He has

convinced the audience based on his own life experiences.

He has concluded his innovatory interaction by giving a seven- fold process to adopt

in one’s daily life that shall transform one’s experience of life into an empowering and

exhilarating one. The audience had frequently broken into laughter and finally paid a standing

ovation in gratitude to the blessings bestowed by Sri. Garikapati Narasimha Rao. The

members of the management, staff and students have felicitated the speaker and also sought

his benedictions off the stage.

*****

Date: 10th July 2018 Time: 1:30 PM - 4.00 PM

Name of the Activity: Classical Dance – An introduction through Kuchipudi.

Speaker: Dr.Vedantam Ramlinga Sastry

Title of the session: Classical Dance – An introduction through Kuchipudi.

About the topic and speaker: India has Classical art forms which are unique to the region

and language of its varied peoples. As avadhanam is unique to the Telugu speaking people,

the Kuchipudi dance form is also unique to

the Telugu Culture. Tamil, Malayalam and

Odia people have their own classical dance

forms viz. Bharata Natyam, Kathakali and

Odissi. Unlike other South Indian classical

dance forms, Kuchipudi is the name of the

village in Krishna district where this dance

form has been codified by its exponent Sri

Siddhendra Yogi in the 12th Century.

10

Potti Sri Ramulu Telugu University in Hyderabad supports Kuchipudi training

through ‘Sri Siddhendra Yogi Kalakshetram’ located in Kuchipudi where training is offered

in various classical art forms including Kuchipudi. Gudlavalleru Engineering College invited

the Principal of Kalakshetram. Dr.Vedantam Ramlinga Sastry and his students to come and

perform in the programme. Sri Sastry introduced the Natya Sastra to the audience which is a

classical work on performing arts. All the dance styles in India, viz. Bharata Natyam,

Kuchipudi, Kathak, Kathakali, Mohini Attam, Odissi, Manipuri have their roots in Bharata

Muni’s Natya Sastra. All these styles have their unique expression, dressing, makeup, facial

expressions intensity and story line. The very first codification of this art form is attributed to

Sri Bharati Muni’s work ‘Natya Sastra’ and is dated to the 2nd century B.C. This work has

about 6,000 verses which are grouped into 36 chapters.

Dance is also a medium of communication which engages our powerful faculties, the

sense of sight and sound simultaneously, thus making a powerful impact on the audience. The

sense of harmony, aesthetics and order is

entailed by a detailed grammar akin to

spoken language where letters make

words, which make sentences, paragraphs

and so on to communicate simple or

complex ideas. Similarly, the pose,

movements, mudras, sequences and so on

were demonstrated by his students as he

explained the significance of each of them. One of the performers hails from a poor family in

Telangana and has left everything behind to

learn and master this dance form. He gave an

impressive performance. Just like any art

form, Kuchipudi is formally taught and one

can pursue up to doctoral studies. Exponents

of this dance form have travelled widely in

the world to give performances. Unlike

music trends such as pop, hip hop, rock and

roll, Jazz which came and went classical dance forms have retained patronage over hundreds

of years and continue to enthrall audience worldwide. The students thoroughly enjoyed the

performances by artistes of their age group and learned the concepts of classical dance.

11

Date: 11th July 2018 Time: 09:30 AM -11:00 PM

Title of the session: Introduction to Library and Information Centre.

About the topic and speaker: Gudlavalleru Engineering College is equipped with one of the

most spacious and well stocked and updated libraries in the region. Additionally, all

Departments have their specific libraries. The English Language Training Centre has a

unique collection of fiction, non-fiction, and news periodicals. The centre also has a book-

lovers club which meets regularly to discuss books.

The objective of this session was to emphasize the importance of consulting

peer-reviewed and published material on technical matters. This session was organized to

inform the students on what the library provides and how they should make the best use of

them. Sri Pavuluri Srinivasa Rao, a retired librarian from a reputed college in the nearby

town of Gudiwada was invited to guide the students on acquiring a habit of reading books

and researching technical ideas. He shared the data related to the area, number of books,

sections, timings of the library, the process of literature review and so on, which the student

would go through in subsequent years of his/her engineering education.

Sri Rao also shared his work and interests in philanthropy post-retirement as a

librarian. He appealed to the students to consider their careers as channels to reach out to the

society and serve others. He emphasized that pursuit of happiness through luxuries and

personal aggrandizement has proved futile time and again.

He quoted from dharmic literature that human life is a rare gift out of the eight lakh

life forms and its objective is to serve others and not to squander it in petty achievements.

One should consider the society as an extended family and strive for its betterment. This is

not to say that one can ignore his immediate family. Just like Sravana in Ramayana who

personally carries his parents on his shoulder for pilgrimage, charity begins at home but our

ethos is to consider ‘Vasudhaika Kutumbakam’ - The world is one family.

The students have heard his talk with great attention.

Title of the session: Telugu – Velugulu

About the topic and speaker: Telugu is an ancient language. It has a prolific film industry,

producing films for everyday in the year. For such prodigious output, the language should be

doing quite well. Yet, the language is dying out due to fascination with America and modern

living. We started using English words for such basic terms like, rice, salt, water which might

have existed in the language forever. Yet, there are some initiatives to enhance Telugu

Vocabulary with words for modern ideas and items like phone, computer, internet, and

airhostess and so on.

Telugu is considered the Italian of the east and is especially amenable to poetry and

lyrics as it is evidenced by the carnatic music tradition of South India. Gudlavalleru

Engineering College invited ‘Annadata Prasamani’, a lecturer in Commerce at Sunrise

Engineering College, Ongole to enlighten and

entertain the students with his rhyming sentences,

riddles and critiques of today’s society. Sri Mani’s

session was a riot of laughter and the students

simply couldn’t imagine such a command on the

Telugu Language used so fluidly and

spontaneously. Sri Mani gave new expansions and

meaning to words like TEACHER, MADAM, STUDENT, INDUCTION, PARENTS, MID,

SEMESTER which were witty yet thought provoking. They would change the way the

students thought about various aspects of student life.

Students in Andhra generally invest a lot of time and energy in movies and activities

around movie stars and are mostly confined to their smart phones and laptops. Sri Mani

admonished the students in his idiosyncratic way, which the students approvingly accepted,

to venture out of their rooms and explore the outdoors.

He criticised the media for sensationalising news and ignoring the real heroes and

their stories of selfless sacrifice. He also illustrated by humming old and new film songs to

show the change of language and the priorities of Telugu society. His many stories of

leadership and sacrifice have inspired the students to prioritise their time in student life.

Title of the session: General Engineering Education

About the topic and speaker: Access to engineering education in the Telugu states has

dramatically increased in the past couple of decades. Government fees reimbursement

schemes have also encouraged enrolment from those sections of society which hitherto has

not entered engineering professions. This is a daunting challenge for both teachers and

students to impart technical knowledge and skills to students who may not have had a very

good grounding in STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) disciplines and

English Language.

Dr. K.V.S.G. Murali Krishna, Principal of JNTU College of Engineering,

Narasaraopet is a polymath and a passionate personality development speaker. He took

various aspects of engineering education and

dispelled the myths around them with

demonstration and participation from students.

He started with etymology of masking,

intelligence, knowledge and engineering. He

showed how knowledge enhances itself by

sharing it with others. For various aspects of

engineering, he offered a plan of study and

practise and emphasized that drawing is the language of engineering and mathematics is the

language of science, both first year subjects with notoriety for being difficult to pass. He

showed how one can easily pass and possibly master these subjects.

He took up language and literature and

in his characteristic way entertained and

informed students about how to ‘break and

spell’ and even guess the meaning of words

accurately. He also made students memorize

seemingly difficult Sanskrit verses in a short

time by explaining their literal meaning and

14

the context. He related the love and grasp of language to communication skills and how they

influence career progression of an engineer.

Dr. Krishna who is a prolific author is quite well read and has taken some famous

quotes such as ‘veni-vedi-vici’ and given them an academic content by translating them as

‘observe, absorb, apply’. He explained the application of this paradigm to acquire language,

technical and interpersonal skills. His rounding up of the session was a retelling of his home

environment, his bonding with his mother and sister. He showed how inspiration and

perspiration when matched in the right proportions can magically transform ones personality

and life.

Dr. Krishna is a prominent environmentalist with deep knowledge of the socio-

economic context and the environment-development nexus of the residual state of A.P. He

has walked the students through the vast natural resources, district-wise of the state and gave

ideas on how engineers can create economic opportunities for themselves and others in the

state without migrating to the new world.

Dr. Krishna’s engagement would freeze time in its tracks and no one wanted to leave

the venue after he called it a day. The college buses had to wait until the students grabbed

copies of his books from the table outside the venue to keep themselves inspired and directed

towards their goal.

Title of the session: English

About the topic and speaker: Talk on ‘Communicate with Competence’ by Dr P

Ramanujam, Senior Professor of English and Director, ELT Centre.

This interactive talk in which Prof. Ramanujam quizzed the students throughout the session

focused on three aspects:

� Why do we often talk about communication in terms of skills?

� The “what” of communication.

� The ‘how” of communication.

15

After a good deal of discussion in which Dr Ramanujam drew upon Bill Gates, Steve Jobs,

and Ratan Tata as well as shared anecdotes about skills making a difference in

communication, he said, ‘Communication only means, in a sense, giving information.

Communication skills means giving information well or giving information effectively.

Next, he dealt with the WHAT of communication, using a popular story about a parrot that

spoke five languages, and asked the students why it died, unable to use any one of the five

languages to save itself when it was about to be

killed. It failed to communicate, he said, because,

though it knew five languages, it did not know

what to say when its life was in danger. ‘There

are quite a lot of people who are like the parrot

of the story. Often, their communication fails

because they don’t know what to say in a

communicative moment, especially in a difficult

situation. In communication through English, we often think that we fail to communicate

because our English is poor. It is a wrong assumption. Often, we fail because our thinking is

poor; it is inadequate. In other words, we fail because we are not clear about our message.

Language is only a medium. If the mind is clear, the expression will be clear to a reasonable

extent. An American writer called Emerson said that a man’s expression is his mind’s voice.

‘Wooden minds, wooden voices,’ he said. So, the first lesson for you is: Be clear in your

thinking; be clear about what you want to say. That is the first important requirement in

communication.’

Turning to the HOW of communication, the professor told a story from AG Gardiner’s essay,

‘On Saying Please,’ and asked the students why the passenger had got thrown out of the lift

instead of being taken in the lift to the top floor. Here again, the communication failed

because the passenger did not know the how of communication: he failed to be polite in

asking for a service.

In the rest of the discussion, Dr Ramanujam used examples from classroom incidents,

Facebook Messenger chats and Whatsapp messages to drive home the idea that in

communication, that what and the how are of primary importance. He concluded his talk as

follows: ‘The point, simply, is this. You must be clear about what you want to say. But, you

must also know how to say it. How to say something involves a proper choice of words –

16

using words which will carry sense to others, avoiding words which will confuse or mislead

others, and avoiding words which will sound impolite, discourteous, or negative. The talk

went down well with the students.

Title of the session: Classical Music – A path to glorious life.

About the topic and speaker: Carnatic Music is the South Indian classical music tradition

encompassing all the states speaking Dravidian languages. The ‘Kritis’ or compositions in

Carnatic music are in Sanskrit as well as Tamil, Kannada and Telugu. Historically, music has

been used by the classical composers as a medium to connect with divinity. As such

compositions are intended to compose and concentrate over energies inward. Music is

defined and regulated to the finest detail with

grammar and constructs. Film music which is

so popular in the Telugu states across age,

socio-economic divides, draws its inspiration

from classical music. All the accomplished

music directors and playback singers have

trained in classical music before starting their

career in the film industry.

Smt. Kandula Lakshmi Narasamma,

Lecturer of Vocal Music at Ghantasala

Venkateswara Rao Government Music

College, Vijayawada and her team of

vocalists and instrumentalists were invited to

introduce classical music and demonstrate

how it is a part of every one’s life. Smt.

Narasamma has first introduced the domain of Indian classical music and its two main

18

divisions, the Hindustani tradition of Northern India and the Carnatic Tradition of Southern

India. She herself is born into a family of accomplished music exponents. Her grandfather

who worked at Akashvani, Vijayawada known to the Telugu people as Mallik who has

rendered tunes to Annamacharya’s Kirtanas.

She recounted the stories of the legendary personalities and their contribution to

Carnatic music starting with Purandara Dasa who is considered the originator of the Carnatic

Tradition. Next the trio of Tyagaraju, Muthuswamy Dikshitar, Syama Sastry, all

contemporaries and hailing from the Tanjavur region of Tamil Nadu were introduced and

their compositions were sung. They were from the 16th Century. In later centuries, Sri

Annamacharya’s and Ramadasu’s compositions have enriched the bhakti movement centred

around the punya kshetrams of Tirumala and Bhadrachalam. Music, like Language ,

has Sa, Ri, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni, as the letters which are grouped to form svaras, svaras to

ragas, and so on. There are 72 Mela Karta ragas which form the basis for the entire corpus of

classical compositions. After introducing the structure and the components of Carnatic

Music, the team has picked up specific ragas and performed the classical composition and

followed it with a popular film song that draws upon the classical one’s lines, tune or rhythm.

This was a revealing moment for all the audience. It was mind blowing to see the blatant

appropriations of classical music and its works in popular film music.

While the classical composition was played, many a student had guessed, sometimes

correctly, the film songs that were based on it. The team leader Mrs. Narasamma narrated her

experiences with younger audience in classical music concerts who would mistake the film

version to be an original and the classical version to be a copy of the filmy one. It is

understandable when remix artists would take popular film songs and sing religious lyrics to

that tune.

The 36th, 29th, 15th, 22nd, 20th, 23rd, 22nd, 28th mela karta ragas were performed with

appropriate classical composition and film songs based on them.

The entire program was engaging yet relaxing for all. Music can relax, heal and

rejuvenate a person to renew their endeavours with fresh energy.

Title of the session: India’s Future: On Your Shoulders.

About the topic and speaker: The I/c Vice Chancellor of JNTUK and the Vice Chancellor

of Krishna University Dr. S. Rama Krishna Rao has visited the college to address the

students. Dr. S. Rama Krishna Rao retired from the Andhra University, Waltair as a Professor

of Civil Engineering and is a widely respected academician, administrator and

environmentalist. Dr. Rao advised the students to make the best use of their time while at

Gudlavalleru Engineering College. He

emphasized the importance of undergoing

practical training and doing internships in

relevant companies. He elaborated on the value

chain of key industries that contribute to the

Indian economy and showed why it is important

for engineers to have a holistic view. He

stressed on the importance of interdisciplinary projects in the final year which can better the

student’s employment opportunities. This was

substantiated by his consulting and regulatory

experience with manufacturing and processing

industries. He reiterated the university’s

commitment to a ragging-free environment. He

spoke of the various progressive university

policies introduced to motivate students. As an

environmentalist, he appealed to the students to

support the Swach Bharat initiative of the government by keeping Gudlavalleru Engineering

College Campus clean.

Title of the session: Fire Safety, Preventive Measures, Fire Fighting and First Aid.

About the topic and speakers: Manmade and natural disasters have become more frequent

and their impact is dramatic on densely populated geographies like India. As modern society

increasingly spends its time indoors in highly regulated environments, electricity or fuel

induced hazards have become constants threats to property and life. In this regard, the

disaster relief team from the nearby town Gudivada was invited to conduct fire safety

awareness workshop for all the first year students.

The fire rescue team was led by the station Chief who has kindly brought in a fire

engine, safety equipment, harnesses, fire

extinguisher, and a host of other emergency

related paraphernalia. They started by

analysing fire, the constituents of the

combustion process and the common cases

for fire accidents in non-industrial buildings.

They explained that fire accidents are of 3

categories. These are based on the three essential conditions for fire viz. Fuel, Heat and

Oxygen. By eliminating any of these three, one can put off the fire. Fires are classified on a

scale from 1-10. A material burns only when the fire is between 1.8 to 9.5.

1. Fire can be doused with water.

2. Fire can be put off by foam.

3. Fire can be put off by cutting fuel supply.

Fires can also be classified based on the residue

left after the fire, for example. Plastic, wood,

cloth etc., these fires can be put off by reducing

heat or spraying water.

The second class of fire can be put off

by spraying foam which blankets the burning

matter and cuts off the oxygen supply. The third

type which is generally associated with handling fuels can be cut off by restricting fuel

21

supply. Using various fire extinguishers demonstration on putting off fires was given. At the

household level, LPG safety is important. The team then demonstrated how to check a gas

cylinder for leaks and what to do in the case of a fire. They dispelled the myths about blast of

cylinders by explaining that it could happen only under extreme conditions or due to

significant time delay. A few girls among the students volunteered to practice the use of fire

extinguishers. Quoting incidents where young people drowned in water bodies, the fire rescue

team have demonstrated rescue methods and tips to improvise available material as floating

buoys.

The session ended with the fire rescue team demonstrating how to assist disaster relief

team in administering first aid and relief operations.

Title of the session: Awareness Programme on Road Safety

About the topic and speaker: The students of Gudlavalleru Engineering College are a

common sight in the Gudlavalleru Village, be it

the railway Station, Road junctions or the

habitations surrounding Seshadri Rao

Knowledge Village. What is more, a large

number of students commute on bicycles and

two wheelers, often with friends, riding pillion.

There have been fatal mishaps in the past and

hence it was important to sensitize the freshers’

to the issue of road safety.

Mr. Ravi Kumar, the MVI (Motor

Vehicle Inspector) of the Road Transport

Authority, Gudivada and his team conducted an

awareness session. They started by explaining the

provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act and the

requirements for a rider and the vehicle to legally

22

ply on public roads. Also,the process of obtaining a driving license for non-commercial

vehicles was explained. The students benefited by getting to know the meanings of various

road signs and the implications of not complying with them. The speaker said that Krishna

District, particularly the coastal area is densely populated and has a high rate of road

accidents. The most common cause of death are ignoring safety features like wearing a

helmet, seat belts and not following or giving proper road signals. He added , the youth

should avoid speaking on cell phones while driving and drunk. Pedestrians are prone to

accidents either while walking on the wrong side or crossing without checking the traffic.

The session ended with the speaker stressing on the need to carry his driving license,

the registration certificate, the motor insurance policy and the Pollution Under Control

Certificate while driving on the road.

Title of the session: Telugu Language – Origin and Development.

About the topic and speaker: Telugu Language is one of the Dravidian Languages

and is spoken by the Andhra People. Andhra is

likely the oldest ethno-political identity of a place

and people with continuous existence. With

westernization taking its toll on culture and

attitudes of people, language has also been

impacted. It was necessary to investigate the origin

and development of Telugu Language in a non-

specialist sense. Dr. Avula Manjulatha, former Vice-Chancellor of the ‘Sri Potti Sri Ramulu

Telugu University was invited to address the students on ‘Telugu Language-its origin and

development’. She started by examining the popular notion of antiquity of the language. Dr.

Manjulatha explained the efforts she made for the attainment of classical status to Telugu

Language, she went on to relate the golden period of Telugu literature and works of many

poetry both by the courtiers and kings of south Indian empires. By relating the conquest of

India by non-indic people and the influence of their rule on native culture and languages, she

arrived at the present. Today, the north Indian languages’ antiquity can be traced to 8th

23

century C.E. There are 24 languages in the Dravidian group, one is still extant in

Afghanistan. Telugu is a south central Dravidian language and some tribal languages like

chenchu, gondi also fall within this family.

Today, there are 7,000 spoken languages in the

world and about 842 languages with more than

10,000 speakers in India. The number was more

than double just 50 year ago. She said , language

is a reflection of the society. The history of

language is thus a history of the people who

spoke that language. Today 9 out of 10 Telugu people do not have command over their

mother tongue Telugu. Command on language also means a clear understanding of the

circumstances under which one continues his/her life. Command over language can

significantly improve one’s material condition.

She has urged the students to improve their communication in Telugu. She has also

urged the teachers and the parents of students to encourage learning of Telugu and using it for

creative expression. The lecture was very thought provoking and inspired all to take their

mother tongue seriously.

Date: 16th July 2018 Time: 11.00 AM – 12.30 PM

Title of the session: Balanced Diet

About the topic and speaker: Dr. G. Swarupa, dietician at Andhra Hospitals, Vijayawada

was invited to address the students on the importance of a balanced diet. She started by

explaining that the food what we eat in the

present days is quite different from what older

generations consumed. The older generations ate

‘whole’ foods that were easily digested. They also

ate fresh food and what was grown by themselves

and locally. Thus growing food, preparing it and

24

consuming it has become an important part of Indian culture. However, in today’s digital

world, food is considered just a fuel and we consume highly processed ‘refined’ foods that

give ‘instant’ energy which has a negative effect on human health and initiates many life

style diseases. Fibre which was responsible for slow digestion and sustained release of energy

is now almost absent in the refined foods. So, Dr. Swarupa said one should make sure they

get 25gm of dietary fibre for smooth functioning of dietary digestive system and to avoid

cancer of the digestive tract. It is especially important for girls to take dietary fibre in their

daily diet.

She educated the students that carbohydrates are an important group in our diet and

almost everyone does overshoot the recommended daily intake of carbohydrates. The energy

to work comes from carbohydrates. These should be 50-60% of the diet by calories. However

we have simple carbs like sugar and complex carbs like starches. Simple carbs like sucrose,

glucose, fructose are found in cane sugar and fruits. These immediately join the bloodstream

and spike the glucose levels. Complex carbs such as starches found in potatoes, tubers and

grains take time to digest and allow sustained release of energy. 1g of carbohydrate releases 4

calories. An individual in the 18-22 age group needs 1800 calories daily.

Further she spoke in detail about the required nutrients and the foods that provide

them. She also emphasized on the intake of protein which is is the next important component

of diet. They comprise amino acids which are the building blocks of living cells to all living

beings. The unused protein in the body is converted to fat. Animal Origin foods such as fish,

eggs, milk, colostrum, meat contain the complete set of amino acids necessary for human

beings. Plant origin foods such as lentils (grams), beans, nuts, sprouts also contain proteins

but in an incomplete composition. So it is imperative for vegetarians to depend on a diverse

source of protein to completely get their protein requirement.

She spoke on fats which are also an essential part of our diet and it is in fact these that

impart taste to our food. They are categorised as saturated fats, such as hydrogenated

vegetable oil, sunflower oil, palm oil etc., and clarified butter (ghee), etc; which are

unsaturated fatty acids. It is recommended to reduce the intake of fats. Increase of cholesterol

in blood can lead to coronary diseases. Particularly, the more refined an oil is, the more

unhealthy it could be. 1g of oil releases 9 calories when burnt by the body. Fast food, Soda

has high content of sugar, salt and refined oil, which are all bad for human health.

25

Vitamins and minerals are micro nutrients and can be obtained from fruits and spices.

Vitamins are either water soluble or fat soluble. Water soluble vitamins which are not used in

the human body are lost through urine. Therefore one has to include vitamins through fruits

and salads in their everyday diet. Human body has this special facility of synthesizing its

vitamin-D requirement when skin is exposed to Ultra-Violet rays. By exposing oneself to the

sun for 10-15 minutes and one can meet his/her daily need of vitamin – D.

Dr. Swarupa emphasized on the need of regular exercise to avoid diseases like

diabetes , hypertension and obesity.

Date: 18th July 2018 Time: 9.30 AM – 11.00 AM

Title of the session: Introduction to the ‘Constitution of Republic of India.

About the topic and speaker: Sri Gundu Sri Krishna is a high court lawyer based in the

town of Vuyyuru, explained to the students the role of a constitution in a democratically ruled

country like India. He is also a social activist and takes up public causes in his legal cases. He

has narrated the history behind the formation of

the constituent assembly, its members and the

unique features of the Indian constitution. He

cited that Dr.Ambedker proposed equal rights

for women. He explained that the constitution of

India has demarcated the 1. Legislature 2.

Executive and 3. Judiciary in the Government of

India. Understanding the powers and limitations of these organs of the government is

important to get things done in a democracy.

The legislature makes laws and has to enjoy the

confidence of the house which in turn has to be

popular with the electorate. The executive

implements the provisions in the law to the

satisfaction of the electorate. The judiciary is

the interpreter of laws when there is a

26

disagreement between the state and the citizen or between the legislature and the executive.

He illustrated this with some historic judgements given by the Supreme court of India.

He also explained why and how the constitution is amended from time to time. He

said that the constitutional provisions about the centre, state and concurrent lists also affect

the long term issues such as interstate water disputes. It is essential that every citizen,

particularly the youth understand their duties and conferred by the constitution of India.

Date: 18th July 2018 Time: 11.00 AM – 12.30 PM

Title of the session: Mind Transformation.

About the topic and speaker: Generation Z is born and brought up in a ‘connected’

environment where a smart phone and laptop are as much a necessity as food and water.

When they step outside the restrictions of

home or school hostel, the newfound freedom

throws open many for entertainment which

sometimes lead to enslavement or addiction to

technology or worse. It is important to identify

priorities and create an empowering

microcosm while they undergo engineering

education. Mr. Saandra Sudhir is trained as an engineer and has further pursued his passion to

become a professional motivational speaker. He hails from Nellore and operates out of

Hyderabad.

He engaged the students with many

motivational stories and made them clap,

laugh, cry, dance and soak in the ambience of

the riot of his performance. Through the story

of 3 kings who gave away money, food, tools

for work to a village he made the students

identify the importance of providing livelihood

to others. Quoting Steve Jobs, he said those who don’t dream big end up working to fulfill

27

others dreams. He in a different context said , creation comes by practice and one should try

to do things differently. We often end up doing jobs that we hate, buy things we don’t need to

impress others whom we don’t know. Citing his experiences of coaching corporate

employees, he emphasised the need to be at the leading edge of one’s domain. Time during

these 4 years is the biggest investment and one should not squander away this most valuable

asset. One should overcome fear by valuing the opportunity as greater than fear. He appealed

to the students to take care of their parents in their old age. His anecdotes, stories and

examples have enlivened and enthralled the students and charged with taking their education

and career seriously, for their sake and their parents’ sake.

Date: 18th July 2018 Time: 1.30 PM – 4.40 PM

Title of the session: Ethics and Morals

About the topic and speaker: With the liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation of

Indian economy, Indian society had to suddenly grapple with opportunities and challenges on

the global stage. This led to the emergence of a

few Indian businesses which have gone global.

This also led to many upstarts making a quick

buck by bending the rules and mending their

morals. Many scams, frauds have become a

staple of news headlines. Even Education and

Healthcare have become businesses with

maximising throughput and the profit being the

prime goals. It is amidst this milieu that students

needed to be reminded how ethics and morals are

inherent in self fulfillment and the long term

sustenance of a civilized society.

H.G. Satya Gopinadh Dasa is a temple

administrator and preacher in the ISKCON

movement, based in Rajamahendravaram, A.P.

He was initiated by H.H. Jaya Pataka Swami, a direct disciple of H.D.G. A.C. Bhaktivedanta

28

Swami, the founder Acharya of ISKCON. As a long time practitioner of Sanatana Dharma,

he expounded the fundamental beliefs of the Indian philosophy and how it forms the warp

and weft of the moral fabric of Indian civilisation.

He started by stating that man is not just a ‘Social Animal’. Religion is the distinction

between man and animal. He illustrated this with a comparison by saying that if we hang a

board (Silence please) in a room full of canines, it does not make a difference to their

behaviour. Clarifying that religion is universal, he opined that religion has to be that which

brings people together and not that which divides us. He also stated that Almighty has

reached out to human beings according to time place and circumstances which have,

overtime, become rigid religious codes. Identifying oneself with the rituals and ignoring the

spirit of religion has led to violent confrontation between civilizations.

In a media saturated world, one is constantly prodded to ‘succeed’ in life. Such

success is often measured in the amount of money one earns. However, money alone without

character cannot make one happy. He said, if we learn to create a win-win propositions in our

dealings we are sure to lead a happy life amidst a happy society.

If one practices selfless love, caring and sharing he is sure to receive all the things he

aspires for in his life. If we become an embodiment of moral values and ethics, wealth and

happiness come to us.

Student life in engineering can be very stressful for some either due to circumstances

or due to unrealistic career goals. Instead of ending one’s life abruptly, they should consider

failure as a stepping stone in the path to success. He quoted many stories from puranas which

inspired the students to be determined in their purpose, in the face of adversity.

The world of social media, online games, dark web and digital dating has created

virtual worlds which completely distract the students and damage their career prospects. One

has to live in reality and pursue meaningful goals than ephemeral happiness in the virtual

world. Such afflicted persons often find friends and parents as a nuisance. In this day and age,

the packing or outward appearances have become more important than the product which

they seek to sell. One should first realise that a product we ‘need’ actually does not need to be

marketed. To make us ‘want’ them they market the products and eventually when everyone

wants them, they become needs.

29

Prabhuji encouraged students to pose questions and then answered them with wit and

reason.

Title of the session: Students Counselling and Personality Development.

About the topic and speaker: In the present system, the fate of a student’s admission or

employment is decided in a few hours of examination or a few minutes of personal interview.

The years of life ahead are on these few hours or minutes of life spent on campus. So, it is

imperative upon the student to be well prepared for these important events of life.

Sri Yandamoori Veerendranath is a celebrity writer in the Telugu States with many

novels, screenplays and motivational books to

his credit. He conducts workshops for team

building and motivation. He was on the board of

interviewers of many companies. He was invited

to interact with the first year students.

At the end of the two week induction

program, Sri Yandamoori chose to revisit and

consolidate the concepts and their understanding of the previous sessions. He started by

helping students to define success in a participatory approach. Every student who came

forward to interact was encouraged by gifts (chocolates). He said success is possible by

reaching a goal. It entails the 6 opulences, namely, health, wealth, fame, love, enthusiasm and

wisdom. Later, his lecture followed the sequence of developing these six opulences.

Developing these 6 opulences entails work at the physical, mental and emotional levels.

He spent a good amount of time on giving students study tips and techniques. He

explained how to develop concentration. He urged students to abstain from social media,

internet, food ,movies, television, gossiping. On Sundays and holidays one should practise

silence for at least three hours.

30

He gave tips on how to engage the five knowledge acquiring senses while studying.

One should face a wall and avoid distractions. One should take a bath and keep the skin clean

and fresh. One should play instrumental

music in appropriate ragas to enhance mood

and concentration. One should light incense

He started with availability of water on earth's surface and also gave information about

necessity of water for human beings. Then he dealt with Water Resources Engineering

(WRE) with the provision of water for human use, and the development of techniques for the

prevention of destruction from floods. Water resources engineering is not only about

prevention of floods but also includes the planning and management of facilities that are

constructed for these tasks like making canals for irrigation and sewers for drainage and to

avoid water logging, and all other issues related with the usage and control of water.

In addition, he gave some statistical information on water requirements of society and

the environment. Initially an estimate is carried out regarding the water available, the demand

now and projected demand when the work will complete and future considerations, later

Planet Earth is in dynamic state and creates natural hazards. Bitter failure examples during

recent and past earthquakes followed by tsunamis, reveal that frequency of occurrence of

earthquakes and tsunamis will increase in future.

It is well known fact ,in the event of

constructing many high rise buildings, reservoir

projects, flyovers etc., coming up structures

located in seismic regions are vulnerable

against earthquake forces and coastal structures

against tsunamis. Hence, it is now high time to

take up and design the structures against such

dynamic forces, practically when they rest on

loose soils.

Name of the activity: Students’ self-introduction and Visiting Labs

Objective: To create a bonding between the students and to build relation between teachers and students.

Speaker: In-Charges of all Laboratories

Salient points Covered:

Engineering is a practicing profession, a profession devoted for harnessing and modifying the three fundamental resources that are available to humankind for the creation of all technology: energy, materials, and information. The overall goal of engineering education is to prepare students to practice engineering and, in particular, to deal with the forces and materials of nature. Thus, from the earliest days of engineering education, instructional laboratories have been an essential part of undergraduate and, in some cases, graduate programs. Indeed, prior to the emphasis on engineering science, it could be said that most engineering instruction took place in the laboratory

Practicing engineers go to the development laboratory for two reasons. First, they often need experimental data to guide them in designing and developing a product. The development laboratory is used to answer specific questions about nature that must be answered before a design and development process can continue. The second reason is to determine if a design performs as intended. Measurements of performance are compared to specifications, and these comparisons either demonstrate compliance or indicate where, if not how, changes need to be made.

1 Introduction

1.1 Background

Engineering colleges were established to train graduates in their respective branch/ de-partment of study, have a holistic outlook towards life, and have a desire to work fornational needs and beyond.

The graduating student must have excellent knowledge and skills in the area of hisstudy. However, he must also have broad understanding of society and relationships.Character needs to be nurtured as an essential quality by which he would understand andfulfill his responsibility as an engineer, a citizen and a human being. Besides the above,several meta-skills and underlying values are needed.

There is a mad rush for engineering today, without the student determining for himselfhis interests and his goals. This is a major factor in the current state of demotivationthat exists among UG students towards studies.

The success of gaining admission into a desired institution but failure in getting thedesired branch, with peer pressure generating its own problems, leads to a peer environ-ment that is demotivating and corrosive. For some, the start of hostel life without closeparental supervision at the same time, further worsens it with also a poor daily routine.

1.2 Extending a Helping Hand

To come out of this situation, a multi-pronged approach is needed. One will have towork closely with the newly joined students in making them feel comfortable, allow themto explore their academic interests and activities, reduce competition and make themwork for excellence, promote bonding within them, build relations between teachers andstudents, give a broader view of life, and build character.

When new students enter an institution, they also come with diverse thoughts, back-grounds and preparations. They come into a new unfamiliar environment, and many ofthem have little knowledge of a university/college. An important task, therefore, is towelcome the new students to higher education and prepare them for their new role.

Transition from school to university/college life is one of the most challenging eventsin a student’s life. Currently, precious little is done by most institutions, except for anorientation program lasting a couple of days. Student Induction is designed to help in thewhole process. Therefore, it should be taken seriously, and as something more than themere orientation program.

2 Student Induction Program - Purpose & Concept

Purpose of the Student Induction Program is to help new students adjust and feel comfort-able in the new environment, inculcate in them the ethos and culture of the institution,help them build bonds with other students and faculty members, and expose them to asense of larger purpose and self exploration.

The term induction is generally used to describe the whole process whereby the in-cumbants adjust to or acclimatize to their new roles and environment. In other words, it

4

is a well planned event to educate the new entrants about the environment in a particularinstitution, and connect them with the people in it.

Student Induction Program engages with the new students as soon as they come intothe institution; regular classes start only after that. At the start of the induction, theincumbants learn about the institutional policies, processes, practices, culture and values,and their mentor groups are formed. Then the different activities start, including thosewhich are daily.

Here is a list of activities:

• Physical Activity

• Creative Arts and Culture

• Mentoring & Universal Human Values

• Familiarization with College, Dept./Branch

• Literary Activity

• Proficiency Modules

• Lectures & Workshops by Eminent People

• Visits in Local Area

• Extra-Curricular Activities in College

• Feedback and Report on the Program

The time during the Induction Program is also used to rectify some critical lacunas, forexample, English background, for those students who have deficiency in it. These areincluded under Proficiency Modules.

There will be a 3-week long induction program for the UG students entering theinstitution, right at the start. Normal classes start only after the induction program isover. Its purpose is to make the students feel comfortable in their new environment, openthem up, set a healthy daily routine, create bonding in the batch as well as betweenfaculty and students, develop awarness, sensitivity and understanding of the self, peoplearound them, society at large, and nature.

3 Daily Activity

The following are the activities under the induction program in which the student wouldbe fully engaged throughout the day for the entire duration of the program.

5

3.1 Physical Activity

This would involve a daily routine of physical activity with games and sports. Therewould be games in the evening or at other suitable times according to the local climate.These would help develop team work besides health. Each student could pick one gameand learn it for the duration of the induction program and hopefully, continue with itlater.1

3.2 Creative Arts

Every student would chose one skill related to the arts whether visual arts or performingarts. Examples are painting, music, dance, pottery, sculpture etc. The student wouldpursue it everyday for the duration of the program.

These would allow for creative expression. It would develop a sense of aesthetics andalso enhance creativity which would, hopefully, flow into engineering design later.

3.3 Mentoring and Universal Human Values

Mentoring and connecting the students with faculty members is the most important partof student induction.

Mentoring takes place in the context and setting of Universal Human Values. It getsthe student to explore oneself and experience the joy of learning, prepares one to standup to peer pressurei and take decisions with courage, be aware of relationsips and besensitive to others, understand the role of money in life and experience the feeling ofprosperity. Need for character building has been underlined by many thinkers, universalhuman values provide the base.

Methodology of teaching this content is extremely important. It must not be throughdo’s and dont’s, but by getting the students to explore and think by engaging them in adialogue. It is best taught through group discussions and real life activities rather thanlecturing. The role of group discussions, however, with clarity of thought of the teacherscannot be over emphasized. It is essential for giving exposure, guiding thoughts, andrealizing values.

The teachers must come from all the departments rather than only one departmentlike HSS or from outside of the Institute. Experiments in this direction at IIT(BHU) arenoteworthy and one can learn from them.

Discussions would be conducted in small groups of about 20 students with a facultymentor each. It is to open thinking towards the self. Universal Human Values discussionscould even continue for rest of the semester as a normal course, and not stop with theinduction program.

Besides drawing the attention of the student to larger issues of life, it would buildrelationships between teachers and students which last for their entire 4-year stay andpossibly beyond.

1For new students entering hostel, there would also be a morning activity coming to the field at 6:30am for light physical exercise or yoga. There could also be gardening or other suitably designed activitywhere labour yields fruits from nature.

6

4 Other Activity

Activities that are not there on a daily basis, but are conducted for 3-4 days (typically inthe afternoons) and change thereafter.

4.1 Familiarization with College, Department/Branch

The incoming students should be told about the credit and grading system, and aboutthe examinations. They should be informed about how study in college differs from studyin school. They should also be taken on a tour of the college and shown important pointssuch as library, canteen, and other facilities.

They should be shown their department, and told what it means to get into the branchor department. Describe what role the technology related to their department plays insociety, and after graduation what role the student would play in society as an engineer inthat branch. A lecture by an alumnus of the Dept. would be very helpful in this regard.They should also be shown the laboratories, workshops and other facilties.

The above should be done right in the first two days, and then over the afternoonsthereafter, as appropriate.

4.2 Literary Activity

Literary activity would encompass reading a book, writing a summary, debating, enactinga play etc.

4.3 Proficiency Modules

The induction program period can be used to overcome some critical lacunas that studentsmight have, for example, English, computer familiarity etc. These should run like crashcourses, so that when normal courses start after the induction program, the student hasovercome the lacunas substantially.

We hope that problems arising due to lack of English skills, wherein students startlagging behind or failing in several subjects, for no fault of theirs, would, hopefully, becomea thing of the past.

4.4 Lectures & Workshops by Eminent People

Lectures by eminent people should be organized, say, once a week. It would give thestudents exposure to people who are eminent, in industry or engineering, in social service,or in public life. Alumni could be invited as well.

Motivational lectures about life, meditation, etc. by Ramakrishna Mission, Art ofLiving, Vivekanand Kendras, S-VYASA, etc. may be organized. Workshops which reju-venate or bring relief to students would also be welcome, such as, Art of Living workshops(3 sessions, 9 hours).

7

4.5 Visits in Local Area

A couple of visits to the local landmarks including historical monuments should be orga-nized. This would familiarize the students with the area together with bonding with eachother, like in a picnic.

Visits should also be organized to a hospital, orphanage or a village. These wouldexpose them to people in suffering or to different lifestyles. This might also sensitizethem to engineering needs in these areas.

4.6 Extra-Curricular Activities in College

The new students should be introduced to the extra-curricular activities at the col-lege/university. They should be shown the facilities and informed about activities relatedto different clubs etc. This is when selected senior students involved in or leading theseactivities can give presentations, under faculty supervision.

4.7 Feedback and Report on the Program

Students should be asked to give their mid-program feedback. They should be asked towrite their opinions about the program at the end of the first week or so. The feedbackshould be used to make any mid-course correction, if any.

Finally, at the end of the program, each group (of 20 students) should be asked toprepare a single report on their experiences of the program. On the second last day,each group should present their report in front of other groups. Immediately after theirpresentation, they should submit their written report. This will also serve as a closure tothe program.

Finally, a formal written or online anonymous feedback should be collected at the endof the program.

5 Schedule

The activities during the Student Induction Program would have an Initial Phase, aRegular Phase and a Closing Phase. The Initial and Closing Phases would be two dayseach.

5.4 Follow Up after Closure

A question comes up as to what would be the follow up program after the formal 3-weekInduction Program is over? The groups which are formed should function as mentor-mentee network. A student should feel free to approach his faculty mentor or the studentguide, when facing any kind of problem, whether academic or financial or psychologicaletc. (For every 10 undergraduate first year students, there would be a senior student asa student guide, and for every 20 students (for two such 10-student groups), there wouldbe a faculty mentor.) Such a group should remain for the entire 4-5 year duration of thestay of the student. Therefore, it would be good to have groups with the students as wellas teachers from the same department/discipline.2

Here we list some important suggestions which have come up and which have beenexperimented with successfully.

5.4.1 Follow Up after Closure – Same Semester

It is suggested that the groups meet with their faculty mentors once a month, within thesemester after the 3-week Induction Program is over. This should be a scheduled meetingshown in the timetable. (The groups are of course free to meet together on their ownmore often, for the student groups to be invited to their faculty mentor’s home for dinneror tea, nature walk, etc.)

5.4.2 Follow Up – Subsequent Semesters

It is extremely important that continuity be maintained in subsequent semesters.

2We are aware that there are advantages in mixing the students from different depts. while forminggroups. However, in mixing, it is our experience that the continuity of the group together with the facultymentor does not last beyond the first semester/year. Therefore, the groups be from the same dept. so thatthe students would meet their mentors in the department also. For those colleges with hostels, the hostelwings for first year undergraduates should have the mixed students from different depts. For example,the hostel room allotment for the 1st year undergraduates should be in alphabetical order irrespective ofdepartment or program. This would ensure mixing of students from different departments.

11

It is suggested that at the start of the subsequent semesters (upto fourth semester),three days be set aside for three full days of activities related to follow up to Induc-tion Program. The students be shown inspiring films, do collective art work, and groupdiscussions be conducted. Subsequently, the groups should meet at least once a month.

6 Organizing the Student Induction Program

6.1 Preparing for the Conduct of the Program

Induction is a well planned process of introducing the new students to higher education,the institution, etc. Before it is conducted, it is essential to plan all the activities inadvance. The following preparations are recommended:

1. Ensure full support from head of the institution and top management.

2. Joint meeting of all the partners involved (see below), in getting their participationin the process of education.

3. Constitution of Induction Committee chaired by the Director/Principal and con-vened by Dean/Vice Principal which will prepare detailed plan of the inductionprogramme in consultation with the head of the institution, facilitate the conduct,monitor and coordinate the whole induction programme.

4. A hyper link on Student Induction of new students is to be created on the web-site ofthe institution having information about the induction, detailed schedule, provisionfor daily reporting, feedback, etc.

5. New students be informed that the Induction is mandatory non-credit course forwhich a certificate will be issued by the institution.

6. Ensure compulsory participation by the involved teachers and other partners.

7. Detailed scheduling of the activities based on the nature, size and location of theinstitution.

8. Preparing induction policy and charter for students stating their responsibilities.

9. Conducting a half-day workshop for partners on how to conduct student induction.

10. Appoint UHV cum Mentor Coordinator (faculty in-charge of Mentoring and Uni-versal Human Values activity of the Program) before the Induction Program begins.His/her responsibility is to form mentor groups, ensure smooth running of the uni-versal human values group discussions, and hold meetings of mentors periodically.

11. Appoint Departmental Nodal Mentor in each dept. The Dept. Nodal Mentors willplay a crucial role in assisting the overall UHV Mentor Coordinator.

12

12. Training program for faculty to be conducted on how to mentor students basedon universal human values, and imparting holistic education and larger vision oflife. (Only those faculty members are to be mentors and are to conduct the groupdiscussions in universal human values, who have received a certificate after goingthrough a 3-day followed by a 7-day Faculty Development Program for StudentInduction, approved by AICTE.)

Partners in Induction:

• Head of the institution

• Important functionaries

• Faculty mentors

• Students council/association

• Selected senior students (student guides)

• Selected alumni

• Civil society

• Invited distinguished people

6.2 Organizing the Daily Activities

For each of the activities below, a faculty member be given the responsibility for itsorganization, conduct and monitoring.

6.2.1 Physical Activity

Fitness session, yoga classes, lecture(s) on facing world with sportsman spirit, makingyoung students aware that there is nothing like being failure in the world. The worldgives opportunities to all.

The incoming students must be divided into batches of 50 students maximum, anda qualified coach in physical education should be attached to each batch. Institute mayemploy part time coaches for this purpose for the duration of the Induction Program.

The list of available games, sport, or physical activities should be anounced on Day1 when the new students arrive. They should be asked to fill their choice with threepreferences, and the game or sport be allotted to them as per their preference. Thereshould be sufficient number of coaches for each game/sport as per norms.

The physical activity should start from Day 3 onwards as a daily activity, whereinthe student learns and plays his assigned game during the induction program. It is alsoimportant that along with his assigned game the student also practises yoga for at least7 sessions.

Two days to be kept at the end for conducting fitness test and yoga test in groups.Students are to be given satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (X) grades on the mandatorynon-credit activity.

13

6.2.2 Creative Arts

Qualified instructors for arts may be hired on contract basis and be paid honorarium asper norms of the institute. Daily 90 to 120 minute sessions may be arranged.

The list of available art forms, such as vocal music, instrumental music, folk music,painting, sketching, dance, group dance, clay modelling, pottery, dramatics, etc. shouldbe anounced on Day 1 when the new students arrive. They should be asked to fill theirchoice with three preferences, and the art form be allotted to them as per their preference.There should be sufficient number of teachers for each art form. The ratio may be keptas 1 teacher for every 25 students.

The last two days of the Student Induction Program be reserved for assessing theprogress of students on satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (X) grades for completion ofmandatory non-credit activity.

6.2.3 Mentoring and Universal Human Values

The UHV cum Mentor Coordinator should get the departments to nominate faculty men-tors for the activity at least 3 months in advance (preferably, in April/May, before theprevious even semester ends), as it will require preparation on the part of the mentors.The number of mentors to be nominated by the departments should be 1 teacher for every20 new incoming students. Names of Dept. Nodal Mentors should be worked out as well,in consultation between the Dept. and the Mentor Coordinator.

A preparatory meeting should be held well in advance (in May itself), so that mentorscome together to function as a team which will conduct the mentoring and UHV activity.Periodic meeting may be arranged for the preparation of how the sessions are to beconducted.

After one year of running of the Induction Program, senior students would becomeavailable as Student Guides (out of those who have done well in UHV group discussionsand it is visible in their behaviour). These students would be selected in April/May andbe given a 1-day training at the beginning of the session in July/August.

UHV groups of 20 first year undergraduate students should be constituted with at least2 Student Guides and 1 Faculty Mentor each. The groups would be department-wise, andshould be formed even before the new students arrive. For example, if Electrical Engg.has an intake of 60, there would be 3 groups of size 20 first year undergraduate studentswith 6 student guides and 3 faculty mentors. Each student guide should be assigned 10students (out of the 20 students in the group).

The groups have to be populated alphabetically (or in any manner mixing the studentwithout any bias) in a department.

The groups would be meeting everyday during the Induction Program after the firstday. The first meeting kept on the 2nd or 3rd day, should have the faculty mentors aswell as the student guides present where they introduce themselves to each other.

In case of UHV, a mid-term open-book take-home examination is recommended. Thequestion paper is mailed to the students and they have to write it at home and submit.The question paper is designed to elicit the experiences of students. The mentor candiscuss the answers submitted by students in a group discussion. The final examinationbe kept on the last day of the Induction Program, as an open question paper in which

14

the major part of the question paper is mailed to the students beforehand, but they haveto write the answers in the exam hall. The faculty mentor’s assessment that the studentengaged thoughtfully in the group discussions would be paramount in awarding satifactoryor unsatisfactory to that student.

The last two days of the Student Induction Program are anyway reserved for assessingthe progress of students on satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (X) grades for completionof the mandatory non-credit activity.

6.3 Organizing the Other Activities

For each of the activities below, a faculty member be given the responsibility for itsorganization, conduct and monitoring.

6.3.1 Familiarization with College, Department/Branch

The students admitted in a branch would visit their allotted department or branch. TheHead of the department and other associated faculty should address the new studentsright on Day 2 or so. Arrangements should be made about the meeting/gathering. Theparents of the students should also be welcomed if they accompany their ward.

It would be helpful if an alumnus of the Dept. relates his professional experiencerelated to the field of the study to the incoming students. For this he/she should becontacted beforehand.

6.3.2 Literary Activity

A faculty member interested in literary activity should be assigned for organizing theactivity. A list of books which are interesting and educational should be prepared before-hand. Books in Indian languages must be included and even given priority. Students arelosing connection with languages in general and their own language, in particular.

Students should be assigned a book or other smaller reading material. They shouldbe asked to read and write a critical summary. They should present their summary infront of their group. A literary group may consist of around 30-40 students.

Similarly, debating and public speaking activity could also be undertaken. If thecollege can arrange for a drama workshop where a group of students learn and enact aplay it would be very good. Not all the incoming students would do this, but those whowish may be provided the opportunity. Help may be taken from senior students engagedin such extra curricular activities in the college.

6.3.3 Proficiency Modules

For English, a diagnostic test should be conducted on Day 2 itself. Before the test, thestudents should be informed that the test would not affect their grades, branch change,or any aspect of their admission, placement, study, etc. Purpose of the test is to providehelp to those students who need help in English.

Students having more than 80% marks in their high school or plus 2 need not take thediagnostic test. For those below this cutoff, writing the test is mandatory. Students with

15

weak performance in the test, must attend a non-credit course in Basic English. Theirattending the course is mandatory. There would be no separate fee payable for the course.

The classes of Basic English must start from Day 4 at the latest. A one-hour classshould be conducted everyday. As the time slot would have to be found during the daytime, the students doing the course would miss some of the afternoon activities. (If itis possible to conduct the course in the evening, then the students would not miss theactivities during the induction program. Option may be explored.)

6.3.4 Lectures & Workshops by Eminent People

Eminent people from all walks of life may be invited to deliver lectures, namely, fromindustry, academia, social science (authors, historians), social work, civil society, alumnietc. be identified and invited to come and address the new students. 3 to 5 lectures maybe organized during the induction program, say, about one lecture a week.

Motivational lectures about life, meditation, etc. by Ramakrishna Mission, Art ofLiving, S-VYASA university, Vivekanand Kendras, etc. may be organized. Workshopswhich rejuvenate or bring relief to students would also be welcome, such as, Art of Livingworkshops (3 sessions, 9 hours).

Local resource persons may be contacted for such purposes. Suitable slots in theafternoon/evening may be found suitably for the lectures and workshops.

6.3.5 Visits in Local Area

Visit to a local heritage site or a local landmark should be organized. It exposes thestudent to heritage or history of the place. One should try to make the trip educationaland have guides who explain the history behind the place. If there is no such place nearby,alternatively, a trip to a local place of natural beauty may be organized. Another purposesuch a visit serves is bonding among themselves, and also with student guides and facultymentors, if they go with them. It is like going on a picnic.

Necessary arrangements would have to be made for arranging buses, guides, and foodetc.

Besides the above, a visit may also be organized to a village, an orphanage, etc. Thepurpose of such a visit would be social awareness. Such a visit should be planned lateron, possibly in the third week of the Induction Program.

6.3.6 Extra-Curricular Activities in College

Every college has extra-curricular activities. Most of them are student driven. They areorganized by student councils and clubs. The extra-curricular activities going on in thecollege should be presented to the new students under the guidance of faculty advisorsfor such activity. The new students should be informed about how they can join theactivities. Related facilities should be described to them.

Presentation on the activities by the student council should be made in the secondweek of the Induction Program. Note that all new students would be learning an art formas well a game, which will give a big impetus to the extra-curricular activity, in time tocome.

16

6.3.7 Feedback and Report on the Program

Informal feedback should be sought from the students at the end of the first week. Theyshould be asked to write their feelings and ideas, and submit in writing.

A final formal feedback at the end of the program should be collected from studentsby their filling a form in writing or online.

Besides the above, each group (of 20 students) should write a report on the InductionProgram towards the end of the Program. Thus, there would be as many written reportsas there are groups. They would also have to make a presentation of their report. Theyshould be encouraged to use slides while making a presentation.

Presentation of the report should be made in the language they are comfortable with,without any insistence that it should be in English. It is more important that they feelcomfortable and confident. Each group may make the presentation through 4-5 of itsgroup members or more.

In case, the number of new students in a college is large, the presentation should bemade by each group in front of 4 other groups besides their own, thus there would beabout 100 students (in 5 groups) in the audience in a session. Several such sessions couldrun in parellel or serially.

In each session, their faculty mentors and student guides, if any, should also be in theaudience. These sessions would tell you how well the program ran, and what the studentsare feeling at the end of the program. This would also serve as a grand closure to theprogram.

6.4 Some Important Points

The Student Induction Program is a mandatory non-credit program in the AICTE ModelCurriculum 2018. Colleges have to ensure that students have completed the programsatisfactorily. Attendance should be taken.

For the creative arts and universal human values components, a test should be con-ducted to determine that the students were able to gain from these activities. For physicaleducation also, assessment should be done during the last few slots.

For the other activities, attendance would serve to ensure participation.No fee should be collected from the student for the overall program or any component

of the program. The expenses in running the program would have to be borne by thecollege.

7 Summary

Engineering institutions were set up to generate well trained manpower in engineeringwith a feeling of responsibility towards oneself, one’s family, and country. The incomingundergraduate students are driven by their parents and society to join engineering withoutunderstanding their own interests and talents. As a result, most students fail to link upwith the goals of their own institution.

The graduating student must have values as a human being, and knowledge and meta-skills related to his/her profession as an engineer and as a citizen. Most students who get

17

demotivated to study engineering or their branch, also lose interest in learning.The Induction Program is designed to make the newly joined students feel comfortable,

sensitize them towards exploring their academic interests and activities, reducing compe-tition and making them work for excellence, promote bonding within them, build relationsbetween teachers and students, give a broader view of life, and building of character.

The Universal Human Values component, which acts as an anchor, develops awarenessand sensitivity, feeling of equality, compassion and oneness, draw attention to society andnature, and character to follow through. It makes them reflect on their relationship withtheir families and extended family in the college (with hostel staff and others). It alsoconnects students with each other and with teachers so that they can share any difficultythey might be facing and seek help.

8.1 Genesis of Induction Program

Induction Program was discussed and approved for all colleges by AICTE in March 2017. Itwas discussed and accepted by the Council of IITs for all IITs in August 2016.

It was originally proposed by a Committee of IIT Directors and accepted at the meeting of allIIT Directors in March 2016. A Committee of IIT Directors was setup in the 152nd Meeting ofIIT Directors on 6th September 2015 at IIT Patna, on how to motivate undergraduate studentsat IITs towards studies, and to develop verbal ability. The Committee submitted its report on19th January 2016. It was considered at the 153rd Meeting of all IIT Directors at IIT Mandi on26 March 2016, and the accepted report came out on 31 March 2016. The Induction Program wasan important recommendation, and its pilot was implemented by three IITs, namely, IIT(BHU),IIT Mandi and IIT Patna in July 2016.

At the 50th meeting of the Council of IITs on 23 August 2016, recommendation on theInduction Program and the report of its pilot implementation were discussed and the programwas accepted for all IITs.

This guide has been prepared based on the Report of the Committee of IIT Directors and

the experience gained through its pilot implementation in July 2016 as accepted by the Council

of IITs. Purpose of this document is to help institutions in understanding the spirit of the

accepted Induction Program and implementing it.

8.2 Design of Induction Program

Induction Program as described here borrows from three programs running earlier at differentinstitutions:

• Foundation Program running at IIT Gandhinagar since July 2011,

• Human Values course running at IIIT Hyderabad since July 2005, and

• Mentor-mentee network at several colleges, and in some, for many decades.

Contribution of each one is described next.

18

1. IIT Gandhinagar was the first IIT to recognize and implement a special 5-week FoundationProgram for the incoming 1st year UG students. It took a bold step that the normalclasses would start only after the five week period. It involved activities such as games,art, etc., and also science and other creative workshops and lectures by resource personsfrom outside.

2. IIIT Hyderabad was the first one to implement a compulsary course on Human Values.Under it, classes were held by faculty through discussions in small groups of students,rather than in lecture mode. Moreover, faculty from all departments got involved inconducting the group discussions under the course. The content is non-sectarian, and themode is dialogical rather than sermonising or lecturing. Faculty were trained beforehand,to conduct these discussions and to guide students on issues of life.

3. Many institutes setup mentor-mentee network under which 1st year students are dividedinto small groups, each assigned to a senior student as a student guide, and to a facultymember as a mentor. Thus, a new student may go to a faculty member or a senior student,in case of any difficulty whether social, psychological, financial, academic, or otherwise.

The Induction Program defined here amalgamates all the three into an integrated whole,which leads to its high effectiveness in terms of building physical activity, creativity, bonding,and character. It develops sensitivity towards self and one’s relationships, builds awarenessabout others and society beyond the individual, and also in bonding with their own batch-matesand a senior student besides a faculty member.

Scaling up the above amalgamation to an intake batch of 1000 plus students was done at

IIT(BHU), Varanasi starting from July 2016.

8.3 Universal Human Values and Scaling Up

The Universal Human Values course is a result of a long series of experiments at educationalinstitutes starting from IIT Delhi and IIT Kanpur in the 1980s and 1990s as an elective course,and in NIT Raipur in early 2000s as a compulsary one week off-campus program. At IIITHyderabad, two regular compulsory courses were introduced in July 2005 for all BTech students.The courses at IIT(BHU) which started from July 2014, are taken and developed from IIITHyderabad. (A shorter version of UHV has also been included at IIT Mandi, IIT Patna, IITKharagpur etc. as a part of their induction program.)

Multiplication of the Universal Human Values compulsary course took place when Abdul

Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow, taking the cue from IIIT Hyderabad, adopted

it in July 2009 for about 600 engineering colleges. It spread to Punjab through the Punjab

Technical University (PTU), Kapurthala in July 2011 for about 300 engineering colleges. Similar

compulsary course was started in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, but this time for BSc, BA

and BCom students, in July 2013 for about 1000 Government and Aided Colleges, and later in

July 2015 for additional 2000 private colleges. It has also gone to many unitary institutions.

8.4 Faculty Development Program for Student Induction (FDP-SI)

After AICTE decide to accept the Student Induction Program in March 2017 for engineeringcolleges, a shorter one week version was run in colleges/universities under TEQIP-III starting

19

from Oct. 2017. To train the faculty of 180 TEQIP-III institutions, 3-day Faculty DevelopmentPrograms for Student Induction (FDP-SI) (earlier named as Teachers Training Workshop orTTW) were run from August 2017 to December 2017. This pilot run provided valuable feedbackin the design of 3-day and 7-day FDP-SI.

Such training programs were earlier tested at the universities AKTU, PTU and at AndhraPradesh and Telangana, with hundreds of affiliated colleges.

Such FDP-SI are running all over the country starting from May 2018 to train the faculty

members from engineering colleges to do mentoring for new undergraduate students and conduct

classes (group discussions) for Universal Human Values.

Date: 8 August 2019 Time: 10:00 AM -12:30 PM

Title of the session: Classical Dance – An instrument to attain eternal life

Speaker: Dr.Vedantam Ramlinga Sastry

About the topic and speaker: India has Classical art

forms which are unique to the region and language of

its varied peoples. As avadhanam is unique to the

Telugu speaking people, the Kuchipudi dance form is

also unique to the Telugu Culture. Tamil, Malayalam

and Odia people have their own classical dance forms

viz. Bharata Natyam, Kathakali and Odissi. Unlike

other South Indian classical dance forms, Kuchipudi is

the name of the village in Krishna district where this dance form has been codified by its exponent Sri

Siddhendra Yogi in the 12th Century.

Potti Sri Ramulu Telugu University in Hyderabad

supports Kuchipudi training through ‘Sri Siddhendra

Yogi Kalakshetram’ located in Kuchipudi where

training is offered in various classical art forms

including Kuchipudi. Gudlavalleru Engineering

College invited the Principal of Kalakshetram.

Dr.Vedantam Ramlinga Sastry and his students to

come and perform in the programme. Sri Sastry

introduced the Natya Sastra to the audience which is a classical work on performing arts. All the dance

styles in India, viz. Bharata Natyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak, Kathakali, Mohini Attam, Odissi, Manipuri

have their roots in Bharata Muni’s Natya Sastra. All

these styles have their unique expression, dressing,

makeup, facial expressions intensity and story line.

The very first codification of this art form is

attributed to Sri Bharati Muni’s work ‘Natya Sastra’

and is dated to the 2nd century B.C. This work has

about 6,000 verses which are grouped into 36

chapters.

Page 8 of 88

Dance is also a medium of communication which

engages our powerful faculties, the sense of sight and

sound simultaneously, thus making a powerful

impact on the audience. The sense of harmony,

aesthetics and order is entailed by a detailed

grammar akin to spoken language where letters make

words, which make sentences, paragraphs and so on

to communicate simple or complex ideas. Similarly,

the pose, movements, mudras, sequences and so on

were demonstrated by his students as he explained

the significance of each of them. One of the

performers hails from a poor family in Telangana

and has left everything behind to learn and master

this dance form. He gave an impressive performance.

Just like any art form, Kuchipudi is formally taught

and one can pursue up to doctoral studies. Exponents

of this dance form have travelled widely in the world

to give performances. Unlike music trends such as

pop, hip hop, rock and roll, Jazz which came and

went classical dance forms have retained patronage

over hundreds of years and continue to enthrall

audience worldwide. The students thoroughly

enjoyed the performances by artistes of their age

group and learned the concepts of classical dance.

Date: 8 August 2019 Time: 1:30 PM -4:40 PM

Title of the session: Classical Music – a Path to Glorious life

Speaker: Ms.Lakshmi Narasamma & Team Ghantasala Music College, Vijayawada

About the topic and speaker: Carnatic Music is the South

Indian classical music tradition encompassing all the states

speaking Dravidian languages. The ‘Kritis’ or compositions

in Carnatic music are in Sanskrit as well as Tamil, Kannada

and Telugu. Historically, music has been used by the

classical composers as a medium to connect with divinity.

As such compositions are intended to compose and

concentrate over energies inward. Music is defined and regulated to the finest detail with grammar and

constructs. Film music which is so popular in the Telugu

states across age, socio-economic divides, draws its

inspiration from classical music. All the accomplished

music directors and playback singers have trained in

classical music before starting their career in the film

industry.

Smt. Kandula Lakshmi Narasamma, Lecturer of Vocal

Music at Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao Government Music College, Vijayawada and her team of

vocalists and instrumentalists along with singers Ms Vaishnavi, and Mr Mallik were invited. Smt.

Narasamma introduced classical music and demonstrated how it is a part of every one’s life. She also

has introduced the domain of Indian classical music and its two main divisions, the Hindustani

tradition of Northern India and the Carnatic Tradition of

Southern India. She herself is born into a family of

accomplished music exponents. Her grandfather who

worked at Akashvani, Vijayawada known to the Telugu

people as Mallik who has rendered tunes to

Annamacharya’s Kirtanas.

She recounted the stories of the legendary personalities

and their contribution to Carnatic music starting with Purandara Dasa who is considered the originator

of the Carnatic Tradition. Music, like Language , has Sa, Ri, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni, as the letters which

Page 10 of 88

are grouped to form svaras, svaras to ragas, and so on. There are 72 Mela Karta ragas which form the

basis for the entire corpus of classical compositions. After introducing the structure and the

components of Carnatic Music, the team has picked up

specific ragas and performed the classical composition

and followed it with a popular film song that draws

upon the classical one’s lines, tune or rhythm. This was

a revealing moment for all the audience. It was really

great to see the blatant appropriations of classical music

and its works in popular film music.

While the classical composition was played, many a student had guessed, sometimes correctly, the film

songs that were based on it. The team leader Mrs. Narasamma narrated her experiences with younger

audience in classical music concerts who would mistake the film version to be an original and the

classical version to be a copy of the filmy one. It is understandable when remix artists would take

popular film songs and sing religious lyrics to that tune.

The entire program was engaging yet relaxing for all. Music can relax, heal and rejuvenate a person to

renew their endeavours with fresh energy.

Date: 9 August 2019 Time: 9:00PM - 12:30 PM

Title of the session: Orientation by DEPARTMENTS

About the Activity: Gudlavalleru Engineering College hosted a tour session of their college designed for newly admitted B Tech students that included information about their branch, course of study, the curriculum and extracurricular opportunities. All the newly admitted students of I B Tech were taken to their respective departments on 9 August 2019, the third day of the Induction Programme. In the fore noon, the students of all six branches, namely Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering and Information Technology, paid a visit to their departments accompanied by the faculty concerned.

Moreover, the students were introduced to the Heads of the departments and all the faculty members as well. The Heads of the Departments interacted with the students to give a bird’s eye view of the significance of their branch. Further, they were shown the videos on the importance and innovations of their respective engineering fields. It is evident that the video sessions helped students to increase the passion for learning in their young minds. The event ended at 12.30 pm and the students went for lunch.

Title of the session: Tips for Healthy living

Speaker: Dr.Ch.Ravinder

“Health is like a bank balance” - Dr Raveendar.

About the topic and the speaker: Dr.Ch.Ravinder, Homeopathic, Gudivada, while talking to the

students, said that the basic philosophy of life is to ‘live’. He started by explaining that the food what

we eat in the present days is quite different from what older generations consumed. The older

generations ate ‘whole’ foods that were easily digested. They also ate fresh food and what was grown

by them locally. Thus growing food, preparing it and consuming it has become an important part of

Indian culture. However, in today’s digital world, food is considered just a fuel and we consume highly

processed ‘refined’ foods that give ‘instant’ energy which has a negative effect on human health and

initiates many diseases. Fiber which was responsible for slow digestion and sustained release of energy

is now almost absent in the refined foods.

Further, he talked about the

latest innovations and

technological advancement in

the field of medicine. Finally,

he spoke on fats which are also

an essential part of our diet and

it is in fact these that impart

taste to our food. It is

recommended to reduce the

intake of fats. Increase of

cholesterol in blood can lead to

coronary diseases. Particularly,

the more refined an oil is, the unhealthier it could be. Especially, fast food, soda has high content of

sugar, salt and refined oil, which are all bad for human health. Furthermore, Dr. Raveendar

emphasized the need of regular exercise to avoid diseases like diabetes, hypertension and obesity.

Page 20 of 88

Manmade and natural disasters have become more frequent and their impact is dramatic on densely populated geographies like India. As modern society increasingly spends its time indoors in highly regulated environments, electricity or fuel induced hazards have become constants threats to property and life. In this regard, the disaster relief team from the nearby town Gudivada was invited to conduct fire safety awareness workshop for all the first year students.

The fire rescue team was led by the station Chief who has kindly brought in a fire engine, safety equipment,

harnesses, fire extinguisher, and a host of other emergency related paraphernalia. They started by analysing fire, the constituents of the combustion process and the common cases for fire accidents in non-industrial buildings. They explained that fire accidents are of 3 categories. These are based on the three essential conditions for fire viz. Fuel, Heat and Oxygen. By eliminating any of these three, one can put off the fire. Fires are classified on a scale from 1-10. A material burns only when the fire is between 1.8 to 9.5.

1. Fire can be doused with water. 2. Fire can be put off by foam. 3. Fire can be put off by cutting fuel supply.

Fires can also be classified based on the residue left after the fire, for example. Plastic, wood, cloth etc., these fires can be put off by reducing heat or spraying water.

The second class of fire can be put off by spraying foam which blankets the burning matter and cuts off the oxygen supply. The third type which is generally associated with handling fuels can be cut off by restricting fuel supply. Using various fire extinguishers demonstration on putting off fires was given. At the household level, LPG safety is important. The team then

demonstrated how to check a gas cylinder for leaks and what to do in the case of a fire. They dispelled the myths about blast of cylinders by explaining that it could happen only under extreme conditions or due to significant time delay. A few girls among the students volunteered to practice the use of fire extinguishers. Quoting incidents where young people drowned in water bodies, the fire rescue team has demonstrated rescue methods and tips to improvise available material as floating buoys.

Title of the session: Developing a Positive Self - Image Speaker: Dr.Ramanujam Parthasarathy, Director, ELTC Objective of the Session: The talk had a three-fold purpose: � To raise the students’ awareness of the need for

developing a positive self-image which is necessary for working with confidence and achieving success, for taking up challenges, and for remaining unfazed in difficult situations;

� to acquaint them with the techniques available for developing a positive self-image; and

� to motivate and inspire them to practise those techniques with success stories of leaders with a positive self-image.

A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE TALK

Instead of defining “positive self-image,” in abstract terms, Dr Ramanujam narrated two inspiring incidents from history – one concerning Thomas Alva Edison and another about Napoleon Bonaparte – and created a concrete picture of the idea. Then he spoke about four of the proven ways of developing a positive self-image and strengthening it:

a. By positive self-talk. b. By not imposing any limitations on oneself. c. By turning one’s adversity to one’s advantage d. By being aware of one’s own strengths.

For explaining each of these techniques, he adopted the same approach – of telling real-life stories. He told the extremely inspiring story of how Wilma Rudolph, who had been clinically pronounced a helpless paralytic, turned out to be the fastest person on track in the world, to illustrate how positive self-talk, combined with the visualization of a powerful self, can lead to an unbelievable victory. When he explained the mirror technique (cf. Claude Bristol: The Magic of Believing) for implanting goals into the sub-conscious, the students were listening with absorbed attention. He drew upon Helen

Keller, Beethoven, John Milton, and Jayaprakash Narayan to explain the other techniques. Finally, he demonstrated a simple technique for being aware of their own strengths, and asked them to practise it at home.

In spite of the huge audience, he tried to make the talk as interactive as possible by asking the students questions about some of these leaders and about concepts like “leading by example.”

OBSERVABLE IMPACT

It was an engrossing talk, and the students listened with rapt attention throughout the 45 minutes.

From the students’ answers to the speaker’s questions, it was evident that they understood the complex ideas and techniques he was explaining; apparently, his approach of explaining difficult concepts through stories paid off. The impact of the talk was also evidenced by the post-talk interaction.

Organized by: A.Sai Krishna, K.S.R.P. Lakshmi, R. Tanuja, T. Navya, T. Jahnavi, Praneetha, D.Naga Mallika - Third Year Students, Department of IT.

Salient Points Conveyed:

An interactive session was held with the final year students. The final year students shared their experiences. They advised the first year students to take part in college events.

1. Trending Technologies: Final year Students advised the first year students to get aware of the

trending technologies in the software field and also to get familiar with the new programming

languages like Python and R in order to get placed in campus drives.

2. Active Participation:

• They advised students to take active part in events conducted by various departments on

occasion of Engineers day etc.

• They requested to take part in GECFEST which is organized by the college in the month of

January/February.

3. Budget Time: They explained that having a social life is good but students must learn to plan

their study time properly. That means do not start studying for exams, night before it is given

or initiate writing that report the day before it is due.

4. Develop an Appreciation for the Mastery of the Language: No matter what is your major or

discipline of interest, the single most important life skill is communication. It is how you

communicate your skills that demonstrate the depth of your education. They advised the first

year students to improve their communication skills.

5. Make your Own Decisions: Seeking advice is always wise. Trying to play it safe and avoid

making choices can learn to serious personal dissatisfaction and likely failure. One must learn

to take a chance (not a needless risk) when options become available and accept responsibility

for your decisions.

6. Learn to communicate in the classroom: There are no dumb questions concerning classroom

content. If you don't know or don't understand something about what is going on in the

classroom, you can be sure that many of your peers don't either. Learning to ask questions is a

real skill and you must develop it.

• Program Educational Objectives (PEO) • Program Outcomes (PO) • Course Outcomes (CO)

Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing the graduates to achieve. PEO’s are measured 4-5 years after graduation. Program outcomes (PO)s are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. They must reflect the 12 Graduate attributes as described by NBA for under graduate engineering programs. Course outcomes (CO)s are the measurable parameters

which evaluates each students performance for each course that the student undertakes in every semester.
