One of the most critical requirements to

become a successful professional is to be

very careful in serving your co-workers and

preserving your relationships said,

in his convocation address

to the outgoing students. Business organizations are becoming

more and more system-based and rule-based with growing

modernization. Consequently, personalized approaches and

relations are becoming progressively uncommon. This is going to

be a serious challenge to the new generation of managers

added.

Dr.G.P.C.Nayar, Chairman, SCMS Group presided over the

ceremony. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Nayar, stressed on the

need for improving quality of our professional education on a

continuous basis in order to make it comparable to world

standards. And that would necessarily require more investments.

Without additional investments it is not possible to improve the

Visiting Foreign Faculty Reflections and reminiscences

Our journey of life in SCMS School of

Engineering and Technology was actually a

transformation from the basic Newton's laws of

motion to the advanced principles of gas

dynamics and jet propulsion Pascal's law to

computational fluid dynamics and Bhor's

model of atom to nanotechnology. Never in our lives could

we imagine that the four years of living could forge us to this

level of science and technology.

Industrial visits, inplant training, seminars, orientation

classes, cultural and technical mega shows, social services,

and lots and lots of exposure to technology-SSET had been

an impetus for us to drive technology towards the social

development and then self realization through them. The

IEDC of the college encourages students to do innovative

projects and I have completed a project under the guidance of

this centre which is pending for patent. Through the

determination which SSET has power packed in us through

its vibrant class rooms, we are destined to take charge and

drive the nation ahead, like never before.

Anugrah A. K., Eighth semester Mechanical Engineering

student.

SSET became a guide to my life throughout the

'four' years. The assignments taught us all

lessons of punctuality, lab works opened to me

the extraordinary world of science, the micro to

macro project works taught us perseverance

and management besides opening the gates to

experiencing 'engineering,' and every other

small thing which built an understanding, hopeful, caring and

leader person out of me. I can write on and on and yet will not

feel satisfied enough to thank SCMS for choosing me for

working days and nights out to carve an 'Engineer' out of me!

During the final year, we had an excellent campus

recruitment season which helped me land a job with Infosys

Limited along with my 40 friends.

I sincerely wish every student who gets blessed with the

opportunity to study in this college, utilize all the chances

presented to them and imbibe in them the important lessons

to become a better engineer and more than that a better

'person', given by this wonderful institution.

Hats off to SSET
