Colleges as Research Partnersth

On 11 August 2014, in The Path to Excellence', the Colleges were asked to build a 'brand value' for themselves through focussed 1 th

study and research by the students and the Faculty Members in all its departments . On 5 May 2015, Colleges were invited to join 2

GTU as its Research Partners in the area of Smart Cies Development . 12 Colleges have started working with the GTU Graduate

School of Smart Cies Development (GSSCD) as its Research Partners.

Similarly GTU seeks Research Partners in the broad areas of

(i) High Speed Transportaon Systems on land, in inland waterways and along the coast-line and

(ii) Cyber Security. Each of these areas of importance in a broad range of engineering applicaons.

Thus Cyber Security is a required eld of study for those studying Computer Engineering and IT. But it is of equal importance in

mobile compung (a eld of EC). Power systems are computer-controlled and the security of the control systems is of great

importance for power systems. The Internet of Things has pushed the eld of cyber security into trouble-free working of every

home, oce and factory. The control of not only air-cra navigaon systems but also of all transport systems, whether on land or

on sea, has also been computerised and is suscepble to cyber aacks. The Colleges are invited to write to GTU expressing their

interest in joining GTU as its Research Partner for any of the two elds menoned above.

It is expected that aer a College becomes GTU's Research Partner, within a couple of years, with the help of GTU and through the

study and research by its students and Faculty Members, it will become known as the Resource Center for the eld.
