1.3 Curriculum Enrichment 1.3.1 Institution integrates cross- cutting issues relevant to Gender, Environment and Sustainability,

Human Values and Professional Ethics into the Curriculum

Response:

Following is the list of courses prescribed by the university, which is compulsory.

Gender Sensitization, though not a part of curriculum, we at SMCE as a responsibility organizeseminars, awareness camps and such related activities at regular intervals.Apart from the above, Environmental Studies, with 3 credits in I B.Tech I Semester (R13).Including this is Professional Ethics and Human Values, 3 credits in I B.Tech. II Semester (R13)and as internal evaluation for III B.Tech. I Semester (R16).

Gender Sensitization

Gender Sensitization is a fundamental prerequisite for the standard development of an individual. Withoutbeing sensitive to the needs of a particular gender, an individual may refrain from understanding theopposite gender and in some acute cases even him or herself. Hence respect for each gender should becultivated.

These are the days which sans human values, hence a much stronger need is felt and realized to talk anddiscuss about this sensitive topic both on a Personal and Professional front. Particularly in a diversecountry like India, with its varied customs, traditions, rituals, social values, family beliefs and individualperception, the need for a more systematic, well planned and more professional approach is desired. This is

/103 13-03-2019 09:53:07


to inculcate this sensitivity and principally highlight the contribution of both the genders in creation anddevelopment of a well balanced society.

As this course in not included in curriculum prescribed by university, we regularly conduct seminars wherethe students are informed about the legally enforced gender equality policies that are mandated in all workplaces. The growing importance of gender equality is assimilated effectively among the students throughthis course.

Environment and Sustainability

The goal of environmental sustainability is to conserve natural resources and to develop alternate sourcesof power thereby reducing pollution and destruction to the environment. The importance of saving ourecosystem is gaining more prominence these days than before. With this aim citizen realization, theuniversity includes a compulsory paper on environment and sustainability to make the citizen’s oftomorrow realize their duties. This is done by giving them a complete understanding of our ecosystems,natural resources, bio diversity, biotic resources, pollution due to various factors and its management.Environmental protection acts as well as the legislation related to the environment protection are alsoincluded in the syllabus to make the students fully aware and responsible of their surroundings.

Human Values and Professional Ethics

The objectives of this course on ‘Professional Ethics and Human Values’:

To understand ethical values that ought to guide the profession.Resolve the moral issues in the profession, andJustify the moral judgment concerning the profession.

Professional ethics, as opposed to personal values and morality, is a set of ethical standards and values apracticing engineer is required to follow. It sets the standards for professional practice, and is only learnedin a professional school or while practicing one’s own profession. Today, it is an essential part ofprofessional education because it helps students deal with issues they will face.

/103 13-03-2019 09:53:14


evaluated by the institution

Response:

To achieve effective program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes becomesfundamental for the successful running of an educational institution of any sort. To ensure the same, theinstitution follows the system of evaluation.

The internal examinations i.e MID I and MID II are formulated keeping this in mind. The questionpapers are therefore mapped used the Course Outcomes and Blooms Taxonomy. • Each midtermexamination comprises of a total of 30 marks. These marks are distributed in a manner that each sectiontests the understanding of the topic by the student in depth. Accordingly, 15 marks are allotted fordescriptive answers, 10 marks or objective answers and 5 marks for assignments. The evaluation isrigorous. It is done by adjoining the marks acquired by the students to their corresponding CourseOutcomes. The marks of descriptive questions as well as objective questions are considered. • Out of thetotal weightage, mid I and mid II performances are considered to account for 30%. The remaining 70%weightage is given to the end exam marks (TEE).

Semester End Examination: During the semester end examination, students’ performance is evaluatedfor the course.

After the examinations, faculty or course coordinator should generate Faculty Course Assessment

Report (FCAR) to arrive at a conclusion about the attainment levels of the student. Principal, HoDs, andothers use the FCARs to check the reliability of the Institute vision and mission. Thus in this systematicmethodologies, SMCE aims its best to ensure that the teachers and faculty deliver to the best of theirabilities.

The institute regularly conducts workshops with the collaboration of Teaching & Training Institutes toencounter the demands in some impetus areas such as Student Psychology, Stress Management etc. to inhouse faculty who could in turn transfer their knowledge by perceiving individual behavior and attitude ofthe students.

The college invites eminent professors from various locations on every alternative Saturday to deliverlectures for the students of Computer Science Engineering and Electronics and CommunicationEngineering as to enhance a set of skills to meet requirements of current industrial needs. Equivalently,other core branches students are instructed to organize workshops on latest technologies such as 3Dprinting to advance their knowledge when they are recruited by industries concerning with the same area inIndia and abroad.

The institution recurrently ventures into MOU’s with various MNC’s across the country for training andinternships of both technical graduates and post graduate students. The process of undertaking Internship isheld in every summer for II and III year which helps to horn their employability skills in future with thesame organization.

The institution has adopted ‘Mentoring Program’ a tremendous self development program that focuses onboth academic and personal domain of the students. It is aimed to improve Student- Teacher relationshipand focus to train students to face challenges of present competitive world. It is the program handlesresponsibilities of alerting messages to parents and encourages them to have personal interaction with thementor and class teacher at least once in a month. Mentors assist learners to choose right career, selectionof suitable jobs and guide them for higher studies, entrepreneurship etc. This student friendly programgives scope for the students to share their problems, conflicts or issues faced by them personally andacademically and solve them on regular intervals.

Majority of the students from rural areas join in engineering course. In this scenario, it is anotherresponsibility of the management to provide special classes to improve their communication skills inEnglish. It is imparted to first and second semester in UG course. The college facilitates all inputs tostrengthen employability skills, interpersonal skills and technical competence.

7.1.5 Waste Management steps including:• Solid waste management • Liquid waste management• E-waste management

Response:

SMCE practices best possible ways of managing the solid, liquid and E-waste by implementingvarious activities to manage waste from its initial stages to final disposal. This process is totally eco-friendly, economically sustainable and at the same time adhering to the legal and regulatory norms.The following the measures implemented:

Solid waste managementWe categorize the solid waste: Degradable (Dust, Leaves, twigs, Paper etc.), Non-degradable (Plastic,glass, bottles, food wrappers etc.)

The institution takes all the measures that are required to ensure the campus is free of plastic itemsand other waste that cause damage to the environment. Dustbins are available on the campus, in alldepartments and in the classrooms. Emptying of the dustbins is being done on a regular basis at 9amto 10am and 4pm everyday by the cleaning team. Segregation of wastage from the dustbins is done inother strategic locations, thus keeping the campus clean and green.

Liquid waste management

At our campus, the sewage water from the entire campus is dispatched through the undergroundpipe lines. The collected water is used as natural organic composite for gardening.

E-waste management

Being an institute of higher education, the need for utilization of electronic and computing systemsbecomes mandatory. Consequently there is a depreciation of the electronic goods after three/fouryears and is:

/103 13-03-2019 09:53:41


All Electronic scarps like CPU’s, Hard disks, Laboratory Equipment sent to the market for sale.

Outmoded yet workable computers, printers and other equipment discarded by departments aresent to the market for sale.

The cartridges of printers are refilled outside the college campus




7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus

Response:

The college has rainwater harvesting facility with rain water storage tanks around the building. Thisstructure recharges the groundwater not only for the institution but also in the surrounded areas too.Drain pits are used to sink the water and recharge the groundwater table.

The rain water is collected in huge volume from the roof top. This rain water is utilized partly forgardening and for improving the ground water level. The college insists the significance of waterconversation and also it elucidates to all the students the importance of saving water. Students areencouraged to use water wisely and cleverly when it required. The institution takes effort indelivering and creating awareness among the students on wasting water and its problems. One ofthe ways of preserving water in the college is rain water harvesting.




7.1.7 Green Practices• Students, staff usinga) Bicyclesb) Public Transportc) Pedestrian friendly roads• Plastic-free campus• Paperless office• Green landscaping with trees and plants

/103 13-03-2019 09:53:42


Response:

SMCE is the one of the eco-friendly institutions. The orientation, construction and spacing of thebuilding has been designed and located in a manner that minimizes the heat accumulation inside.

Fly ash brick construction with cavity walls was the choice used in the construction for betterthermal insulation. Approximately 85 % of the area is day lit. This was possible by optimizingwindow sizes. Reused furniture is option for Classroom and other administrative areas. SMCEbelieves that nurturing nature is the best way in promoting environmental sustainability with thefollowing the eco-friendly methods.

Plastic free Campus:

Use of Plastic is strictly prohibited on the campus and is implemented in a thorough manner.

Paperless Office:

All kinds of paper wastage are sent for recycling to the vendors. Usage of paper on campus isminimized and printing is done on two sides. The same is communicated to the departments,recourses and students. Faculty share documents by using emails. The college is making awarenessamong the students through mails and other electronic media.

Plantation:

Campus has different species of plants which includes herbs, shrubs and big shady trees. Thismakes SMCE an abode of flora and creating a sojourn even for the nesting birds. SMCE (SriMittapalli College of Engineering) is a tantamount of generating ecologically responsive habitat.The design of the college is in such a way that the project is the ambience of hot and dry duringsummer and warm and humid during monsoon. It is sad to state that many of the present daybuilding designs are ignores to react to the local climatic conditions in their way and end up usingair conditioning systems and artificial lighting even when there are times they can be minimized oreven sometime completely avoided. Merged with passively ventilated yet comfortable indoors andwell shaded outdoors, the campus is rich in celebrating the nature and thereby enriching theexperience of technical learning.

The location of the institute is at outskirts of two major phenomenon places in AP: Guntur andChilakaluripet and can be easily reached from other nearby villages and towns. These cities andtowns experience a unique combination of a tropical wet and dry climate that borders on a hot semi-arid climate. The summer months in this region are predominantly hot and dry while monsoons arewarm and humid due the location of hills surrounded. This adverse climatic condition of the regionwas surely a challenge for sustainability. Passive climate control measures like shading, optimumorientation, optimized day lighting, courtyard planning, cross and stack ventilation and evaporativecooling is an engineering miracle that have been integrated intelligently in the design. Thusenabling the construction to achieve considerable thermal comfort even during peak summerafternoons.

Response:

BEST PRACTICES-1

ACTIVITY BASED LEARNING

Activity-based learning has become an urge for learner centric approach in recent days. It is asignificant tool under outcome- based education system. In the fast evolving twenty-first century,technology has changed so recurrently that education system has become lame to produce goodquality Engineers. This concern is very common in almost every Engineering College in India. Toovercome this hostile situation most of the leading institutions have initiated myriad good practicesand have taken remedial measures.

Teacher-Centric to Student-Centric Approach:

As per the traditional education system, the total number of students per class ranges from 60(minimum) to 90 in every college. The classroom is teacher, content, and discipline centered, but notstudent centered. Present scenario of engineering teaching learning scheme is having 4 or 5 hours oftheory lectures and 3 hours of laboratory sessions.Chalk and talk approach is the most practiced method to deliver the content and practicalexperiments in laboratory for completing the syllabus. Unfortunately, not only the coursecurriculum but even the laboratory sessions offered in engineering courses do not cater to anyapplication-based learning which is the crux of engineering education. Most of the times in labs alsoused in delivering or re-delivering the information which the students may not have comprehendedin their first attempt. The physical laboratory or simulation based laboratory, majorly focuses oncontent based learning which must be changed to Activity based learning to achieve OBE objectivesand outcomes.

According to the traditional lecture-based format, the students sit pseudo-actively and the professordelivers lecture, has become predominant in Engineering Institutions relatively recently. Earlier thepassive students were provided with lecture notes that hardly help them to excel in that course. Nowit is highly important to engage them in some activity. Whereas in student-centric learningprofessors are encouraged and facilitated in developing courses in such a way that the students canbe engaged in profound learning environment.

Below are the key purposes of activity based learning:

Alert the students about the importance of presence in the class room Assign the students with smalltargets to achieve in class roomBoost up their individual as well as team skills Increasing decisiveness and creative thinkingTeacher should play the role of facilitator to complete the assigned targets Enhancingcommunication skills among the participants.

Practice

Each and every course is divided into modules. Proper lesson and session plan is to be prepared oneach course. In each session what are the activities that will be assigned should be meticulously

/103 13-03-2019 09:53:48


stated at the highest possible depth. Thus different levels of students are assigned with problems ofdifferent complexity levels (e.g., high, medium, low). Each student’s progress is measured by theteacher every day in theoretical and lab classes. Strategies for activity based learning:

Participation: Students are assigned with small tasks, so that they can be engaged in doing activitiesin class room.

Critical Thinking: Students task should be out of the box, not directly related to their basicknowledge but can be answered only after thinking.

Analyzing: Tasks given to the students must be subjective this will enable them to apply their viewsin different ways after analysis.

Knowledge Sharing: Task given to the students must be in varying knowledge, so that students willbe destined to communicate amongst themselves.

Team-work: After sharing of knowledge they can conclude and take decision from their team.

Communication: Team-work and knowledge sharing will enrich communication amongst teammembers. They also need to communicate with teachers to solve critical problems.

Problem Solving: Increase the ability to solve real life problems by analyzing and solving class-roomproblems based on course topics.

Quiz: It helps students to be more competitive in nature and answer quickly.

Debating: It increases the power of establishing the self-argument in front of fellows.

To meet the above strategies the following web resources are widely used in each and every coursewww.brainkart.comwww.sanfoundry.com www.vlabs.com www.allaboutcircuits.cometc…Title of the Practice: Activity Based Learning

Objectives of the Practice: Activity-based learning has become a necessity for learner centricapproach in recent days and being a significant tool under outcome-based education system. Withthe revolution in technology, technical learning process needs to go on par with it. To scale andhandle this hostile situation we have initiated and implemented activity based learning.

The context: In this context we practice Teacher-Centric to Student-Centric Approach. As per thetraditional education system, the total number of students per class ranges from 60 (minimum) to 90in every college. The classroom is teacher, content, and discipline centered, but not student centered.Chalk and talk approach is practiced to deliver the content and practical experiments in laboratory.The crux of engineering education depends on application- based which is failing these days. Thishas made labs monotonous. This content based learning must be changed to Activity based learningto achieve OBE objectives and outcomes. Unlike traditional approach, in the student-centric methodprofessors are encouraged to develop courses in such a way that the students are engaged in prolific

learning environment.Purpose of Activity-Based learning:

Alert the students about the importance of presence in the class room Assign the students with smalltargets to achieve in class roomBoost up their individual as well as team skills Increasing decisiveness and creative thinkingWhetting Communication skills. Practice

Each and every course is divided into modules. Proper lesson and session plan is prepared on eachcourse and activities are meticulously designed. These activities are assigned to the students based ontheir degree of competencies: high, medium, low. Each student’s progress is assessed by respectiveteacher in theoretical and lab performances.

Approaches for activity-based learning:

Participation: Students are assigned with small tasks, so that they can be engaged in doing activitiesin class room.

Critical thinking: Improving critical thinking of the students by giving task-based assignments fromwithin the curriculum but with varied patterns. This allows them to apply ones’ critical thinkingwhich helps the pupils in expanding their thinking horizons.

Analyzing: This allows students the ability to understand the given task from between the lines.

Knowledge Sharing: Team of students should be given the task from varying knowledge, so thatstudent’s dissemination knowledge and information making the learning ambience more productive.

Team-work: Encouraging sharing knowledge & outcomes among the teams and within the teams toenhance team building skills.

Communication: Team-work and knowledge sharing paves way to enrich communication skills.

Problem Solving: Increase the ability to solve real life problems by analyzing and solving class-roomcourse topics.

Quiz: It helps students to be more competitive.

Debating: It increases the power of establishing the self defence.

Title of the Practice: Capacity building of students in GATE, General Aptitude, Coding, andCommunication Skills by In-House faculty: All in under one Umbrella

Objectives of the Practice: The main objectives of under this practice are

To conduct special classes on Aptitude, Reasoning, Coding, Soft Skills and Communicate English toincorporate employability skills to all the students of third and final years irrespective of theirbranches. To be conducted by In-house faculty who are expertise in their concern subjects.To support and boost proactive students and hence they can be placed in their career to and workefficiently at work places in posterity.

The context: In this view, the perspective of college management at primary level is

To encourage teaching crew to participate in National level seminars, symposiums and workshops.This is encouraged so as to reap the benefits of mentioned programs by upgrading their knowledge,connect with modern teaching methods and latest practices in the area of advanced technologies inturn implement the same to pupils.The college invites eminent professors from various institutions to deliver lectures to the students inall disciplines to enhance technical know-how to meet requirements of current industrial needs.All the students irrespective of their branches are instructed to participate in workshops on latesttechnologies such as 3D printing, python and cyber networking to advance their knowledge whenthey are recruited by industries specialized with the same area in India and abroad.The practice:

Performing and implementation of all the activities is carried by our resourceful In-House facultyduring allotted special and extra hours conducted at regular schedule. Above all, the everycompetitive exams syllabus on General Aptitude, Reasoning, English and Coding is integrated underone program. This enables our students to meet every competitive exam like GATE, TOFEL, CivilServices and other such. These classes are incorporated effectively in regular time table as well asfrom 3.40 pm to 4.45 pm regularly.

For extensive implementation and assimilation of this program ‘Mentorship’ also plays aninstrumental role. Advanced learners, proactive students and interested wards are identified by thementors and are encouraged to join this band wagon to horn their skills and outshine in competitiveexams.This coaching by our In-House faculty is very beneficial to rural students who cannot displacethemselves to join the urban training centers and also to the pupils who cannot afford to pay thesetraining centers. Many of the students reaped fruits through this productive program.

Problems encountered and Resources required: though this practice is efficiently launched andsuccessfully running, we encountered a few obstacles viz., requirement of additional study materials,availability of In-House faculty at all the times.

On whole, the college aims to facilitate all the inputs to fortify employability skills, interpersonalskills and technical competence among the pupils. It is a substantiate measurement that employmentof the students into various MNC’s and other competitive exams has been considerably increasingsuccessively.

7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness 7.3.1 Describe/Explain the performance of the institution in one area distinctive to its vision, priority

and thrust

Response:

The institution gives utmost priority for monitoring of Electrical energy consumption and saving itthrough best practices. A committee has been established to fulfill this practice. It supervises usageof electrical energy and tries to avoid wastage.

A special plan is implemented by the committee to fulfill this practice. Proper planning is donethrough adjustment of time tables, especially in laboratories which have large machines thatconsume power. Messages boards are displayed in all the class rooms and labs in regard withoptimum use of electrical appliances viz., lights, fans, computers and machinery.

All the projectors are kept off or in idle mode after usage in order to save power. It is also a part ofthe plan made by the committee. In this view, the old equipment in the college is replaced with lesspower consumption equipment.

In order to reduce the maximum demand (M.D) on the Feeder, this was previously 140 to 150 KVAof maximum demand that affected the other consumers which were on the same feeder. It isconsiderably reduced to 110 to 125 KVA by the best practices taken up by the committee.
