This club is a culmination of students' passion towards chemistry concerned works and environmental hazards. The Eco friendly Club activities are shown in Fig Fig.7.13: Activities of Eco Club SHRI VISHNU ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN(A) Page 203

218 Amateur Astronomy Association (A A A) The Amateur Astronomy Association (A A A) was started as a small effort to fuel the passion of some young minds towards the field of astronomy. Astronomy is an age old science and deals with the study of stars, galaxies, planets and other heavenly bodies. Children look at the stars in awe and excitingly recite the nursery rhyme: twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are... But this curiosity wears off as they grow up. This club is therefore initiated, with the encouragement of our generous Chairman Sri K. V. Vishnu Raju and the management, to rekindle that long extinguished flame. The AAA Club activities are shown in Fig Fig.7.14: AAA Activities With the advent of KONUSMOTOR DIGIMAX 90, a refracting type telescope in January 2011, the AAA Club seriously began its journey into the outer space by watching heavenly objects through this telescope, which has been a real feast to their eyes. Students have been taken to Birla Planetarium, Hyderabad. Future activities of this club are going to explore the wonders of the universe. Idea Club On the auspicious day of 26th September 2011, IDEA Club came into existence. The IDEA Club is a place where students get a chance to exhibit their innovative and creative ideas. The main motto is to bring awareness about the advantage of reading books, to motivate students to be proactive and to sharpen their creative talents. Under this IDEA Club many activities are organized frequently to test their creative thinking. This kind of exposure widens their knowledge, vocabulary and analytical ability. Painting Club At SVECW the late bloomer, Painting Club, has been blooming luxuriously with many activities from 9 th July Painting is a creative art. Basically it is an innate skill and some children at a very early age are found to be good at drawing pictures and painting things around them. If parents can identify and nurture their interest, he or she will become a good painter. Painting Club aims at encouraging the new talents by identifying students with a zeal. At SVECW, many amateur painters are encouraged to participate in various competitions. Their paintings are exhibited in the campus in various special occusions. Students, being a part of Painting Club utilize every opportunity to fine tune their creative skills. SHRI VISHNU ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN(A) Page 204

219 SOCIAL TOUCH The students of SVECW are given an opportunity to serve the society by activities like NSS and community services NSS National integrity should flow from the heart of every citizen. Apart from academics, every student must involve in serving her country. National Service Scheme (NSS) has been introduced as a part of the academic programs since the establishment of SVECW. NSS has been functioning as a regular feature in the realm of our Institution. NSS has enriched the students souls and mind. The cardinal principle of the NSS programme is that it is organized by the students themselves, and both students and teachers through their combined participation in community service, get a sense of involvement in the tasks of nation building. The NSS activities are shown in Fig Fig.7.15: NSS Activities The overall objective of this scheme is Education and Service to the community and by the community. It s students programme where we cater to the need of the community, as and when required, It will also help the students to communicate with the society. Students develop many skills and learn how to behave and interact with different kinds of people. The students go to the rural areas and try to develop a Technocratic Environment and help the underprivileged people to develop themselves. Community Services SVECW is driven by a noble cause that serving people is serving God. Umpteen instances can disclose this truth. Knowledge Centre, Leprosy Centre and Housing Colonies to the poor are a few among the plethora of social services. Peeping into the past, Padmabhushan Dr. B.V.Raju, founder chairman, in his seventies, soon after retiring from his business activities, decided to help the poor and the needy. He constructed churches and temples, helped lepers, gave support to educated youth and a good number of social activities. He became a true 'karma yogi'. The legacy of his services is continuing. SVECW have identified the following key communities to support and strengthen them. Rural poor students Leprosy patients Village Community SHRI VISHNU ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN(A) Page 205

220 RADIO VISHNU 90.4 Physically challenged people Patients Merit students of surrounding colleges The campus is driven by novel ideas of the Chairman. A non-profitable community radio station was set up with a vision to give voice to voiceless. Radio Vishnu 90.4 is the first campus radio in Andhra pradesh, India. Enabling interaction between community and academia, it enhances inter/intrapersonal skills of the students and instils social responsibility. Students develop most of the radio programmes on many relevant social issues keeping in mind all and sundry in the society. Recently radiovishnu received best community enguagement award. The Radio Vishnu 90.4 activities are shown in Fig Fig. 7.16: Radio Vishnu 90.4 Activities 7.3. Best Practices In order to contribute to the quality improvement of the core activities of the college and also to support for the institutional objectives, the institution is taking up two best practices which are listed below: 1. Imparting Societal responsibility for the students through Assistive Technology 2. Inculcating the spirit of research among faculty and students for a progressive technological elevation Give details of any two best practices, which have contributed to b e t t e r a c a d e m i c a n d a d m i n i s t r a t i v e f u n c t i o n i n g o f t h e c o l l e g e. BEST PRACTICE-1 1. Title of the Practice: Imparting Societal Responsibility for the Students through Assistive Technology 2. Objectives of the Practice To make young minds ignited for innovation To Engineer solutions for societal cause To identify and develop new assistive products for the clients SHRI VISHNU ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN(A) Page 206

221 To identify projects suitable for patenting and commercialization To undertake joint projects with international institutions and industry 3. The Context It all happened in 2008 when Sri. K. V. Vishnu Raju, Chairman of Sri Vishnu Educational Society visited University of Massachusetts at Lowell in USA. He was inspired by the way in which students are serving the physically and mentally challenged people by means of their assistive technology projects. Furthermore, not much of attention is paid by Indian society towards helping the physically and mentally challenged people. The differently abled Indian public is not accustomed to use sophisticated aids that would make their lives better. This scenario paved the way for the establishment of assistive technology lab in our institution. This lab not only serves to ignite the minds of young budding engineers towards innovation but also would human touch to technology. 4. The Practice The Assistive Technology Lab (ATL) in Shri Vishnu Engineering College for Women (SVECW), Bhimavaram, W. G. Dt., Andhra Pradesh is a vision of Shri K. V. Vishnu Raju, the Chairman of Sri Vishnu Educational Society, to utilize the skills of every engineering department of the college for the development of Assistive Technology. It was set up in 2009 and works in collaboration with University of Massachusetts (UMass), Lowell, USA. Assistive Technology Lab works for a very unique and a noble cause of designing projects by the students of SVECW to benefit the differently-abled. This is a small but definite step to mainstream people with disabilities into society. Professor Alan Rux, founder of the Assistive Technology Program at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA, visits SVECW every year in the month of July and guides students in developing projects related to Assistive Technology. Fig.7.17: Prof. Alan Rux with Students ATL provides a rich, authentic learning experience for students. It is a real time platform for the students to learn and experience engineering design process, to apply their academic skills in a real-world context, and to develop important workplace skills not usually taught in the classroom. Each project team has to brainstorm and analyze alternative design solutions, and justify their chosen design; they must work within a budget, analyze the cost of various design SHRI VISHNU ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN(A) Page 207

222 alternatives, and in the end, make a presentation outlining their design work and final solution. ATL engages students in real service learning, which not only benefits members of their local communities, but also helps students distinguish themselves among their peers in their future endeavours. 5. Evidence of Success ATL has started with very small steps towards innovation and social service, but is definitely taking giant leaps in making budding engineers help the society through their projects. The students of ATL are participating in many National Level and International Level Project contests. Anywhere and everywhere they are participating they are receiving prizes and also a lot of applause not only from the jury but also from the common public. The placements statistics are evident of the success of the students in the placement front also. The students have exhibited their projects at several project expos and conferences. This not only made the society to know about the projects developed by our students, but also imparted self confidence and gave them a professional attitude. The students could also develop empathy towards the differently abled people and this made them come up with new ideas for helping them. The details of achievements of our students in various project contests from academic year to academic year is given in Table 7.5 and Table 7.6 Table 7.5: Details of Achievements S.

225 Many problems were faced in up bringing the ATL to the present status. The important problems faced by us are: Most of our clients (the differently abled people) are from a rural background who cannot express their problems with clarity. We had to innovate methods to frame questions to them so as to rightly identify their problems. As very few research centres in India are taking up research in the area of assistive technology, it was very difficult to improve the technological concepts and to follow the present trends in technology. Technical collaboration is made with International Universities like: University of Massachusetts, Lowell and University of New Hampshire, Georgia Tech University, USA. Experts were invited to the campus. Several workshops were organized to students as well as faculty to improve their knowledge. Our faculty were sent to USA to study the procedures followed in several American Universities. Resources Required Financial resources are very important in running a research and incubation centre as Assistive Technology Lab.

Then they would prepare a one page brief description of the goals of the research and the methodology they would adopt to solve the research problem. They also would have to highlight the significance of the research problem and why is it important to solve the problem. Then they will have to present the concept before the peer group. After the refinements are completed according to the advice given by the peer committee the team has to prepare a detailed project proposal and would have to submit to the peer committee for approval. The peer committee scrupulously verifies the proposal and suggests modifications if any. After the proposal got its approval from the peer committee, a suitable funding agency is identified and the proposal is submitted to it. Similarly the students are also formed into teams with one or more faculty members as their team mentors. The students also follow the above mentioned procedure to identify multi disciplinary projects. Some of the projects identified by the students are given below: 1. Under Water Vehicle for Feeding Shrimps in Aqua Culture SHRI VISHNU ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN(A) Page 214

How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met and learning outcomes monitored? By Direct assessment and Indirect assessment Methods. Assessment methods used for the Assessment of Programme Outcomes: Direct assessment methods 1.Mid Examinations 2.Laboratory Examinations Indirect assessment methods 1.Course End Survey 2.Programme exit survey 3.Seminars 4.Project viva-voce Description of the Assessment methods: Direct Assessment methods: The performance of the student in the MID Examinations for each theory course is evaluated at the micro level to calculate the attainment level of the course outcomes defined and same is used as the attainment of the corresponding programme outcomes. The evaluation for laboratory, seminar and Mini Project/Project Work courses is done based on the performance and the attainment of course outcomes is calculated accordingly. The attainment levels of the course outcomes are taken as the attainment levels of the corresponding programme outcomes. The model format for the assessment of the POs for a theory course is given below. Similarly various formats are used by the faculty for the assessment of the POs for the lab courses, Mini Project and Project Work courses. Indirect Assessment methods:- Course End Survey: A well defined course-end survey is conducted by the faculty member offering the course at the end of the course to get the feedback of the students on the attainment of the skills mentioned in course outcomes. The criticism on the delivery methods adapted by the faculty during the course and the assessment tools used for evaluating the performance levels of the students, are sought through this survey. The programme outcomes related to the individual course is indirectly assessed and evaluated through the attainment levels of the course outcomes of the course offered in each semester of the programme. SHRI VISHNU ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR WOMEN(A) / CSE DEPT. Page 249

265 Programme Exit Survey: - A well written Exit Survey format designed to conduct the survey on the students at the time of leaving the programme to assess the attainment of the programme outcomes defined for the programme on a 5 point scale. The specific comments on the improvement of the programme are sought through this survey. Description of the assessment process: The POs assessment process:- Step1: The Program coordinator analyses each outcome into elements (different abilities specified in the outcome) and a set of attributes are defined for each element (actions that explicitly demonstrate mastery of the abilities specified). In addition, Program Coordinator generates well designed surveys to assess the outcome. Step2: For each outcome performance indicators (Assessment criteria) and their targets are defined. Step3: Identification/selection of courses that address the outcome (each course contributes to at least one of the outcomes). Hence, each outcome is assessed in several courses to ensure that students acquire an appropriate level in terms of knowledge/skills of an outcome. Step4: The module coordinators collect the qualitative and quantitative data and were used for outcome assessment in a continual process. Step5: The Program Assessment Committee analyzes the collected data. If the assessed data meets the performance targets which are specified in step 2, the outcome is attained. Otherwise, consider step6. Step6: The Department Advisory Board recommends content delivery methods/course outcomes/ curriculum improvements as needed. 1. PO assessment through CO assessment is done for each course with the following assessment methods by the course instructor at the end of every semester. a.
