Activities of the department during the year 2014-2015

1.      Summer Internship

The departments of Physics and Electronics added a new feature to their regular departmental activities and sent nine of their students four from I B.Sc (MPCs), one from II B.Sc (MPCs), two from II B.Sc (MECs) and one from I B.Sc (MECs) for an internship programme of six weeks duration from April 15^th 2014 to May 31^st 2014 at Efftronics Systems Pvt.Ltd, Vijayawada. Two students were trained and imparted skills in “Testing, analyze equipment as quality inspection of raw material”. Two students were trained in “Components mounting, soldering, desoldering of electronic assemblies”. Three students were trained in “Testing, analyze equipment, circuit disturbances and eliminate faults as quality inspection of a finished product”. Two students were trained in “Testing, analyze equipment, circuit disturbances and eliminate faults in signaling systems”. Dr.G.Little Flower and Miss. Hannah Anuhya coordinated this programme.

2.               A Four day workshop on “The integration of Programming Skills and an orientation programme about MEAN STACK”

The departments of Physics, Electronics, and Computer Science in collaboration with SSIT, Patamata, organized a four day workshop from 11.8.14 to 14.8. 14 to impart training in sharpening programming skills in C, Java, VB.Net, C#.NET as a foundation to start a diploma course in “MEAN STACK”. Mr. S. Ram Babu (M.Tech) along with his team members Ms. K.Haritha (M.Tech), Mr. K. Mahesh (M.Tech.) and Ms K. Lalitha (M.Tech.) conducted the training programme for III B.Sc. (MPCs, MECs, MSCs). The students were trained to write a program in all the above four languages and helped them to realize the importance of each language. This programme provided hands on experience in programming in all the four languages simultaneously. Mr. Rambabu introduced the latest course on “MEAN STACK” on the last day which aims to develop Web Applications through smart phones by using reduction of coding. This course is the latest technology course and has a lot of job potential. Thirty interested students are selected   and are doing a diploma course of three month duration. Two faculty members Mrs. P. Padma Sree and Ms. SK. Asha are also undergoing this training along with students and are in charge of this diploma course.

1.      Diploma Course on “MEAN STACK” -2014-2015

            Maris Stella College along with its regular programmes offers a diploma course on “MEAN STACK” which has high job potential. “MEAN STACK” is an acronym for M – mango dB, E – express JS, A – angular JS, N – Node JS. This course will enhance logical thinking and helps students to replace lengthy programs with smart simple programs. This course is a unique course and first of its kind initiative in Andhra Pradesh as far as our knowledge is concerned. This course is being offered in collaboration with Sri Sai Institute of Information Technology (SSIT), Patamata, Vijayawada. Mr. M. RamBabu (M.Tech) is the director and trainer of the course. He is a veteran in IT training and has more than 22 years of training and mentoring experience on latest tools and technology in the computer field. He had already trained more than 50,000 students who are globally employed in reputed firms. This course started on 01-09-2014 and will run till March 2015. Students will attend this training after their regular classes from 3:30 to 7:00 p.m.

  

Goal:

  Ø  To impart training in sharpening programming skills in the languages C, C++, Java, Dot.Net, JSP ,       C#.Net, J# , HTML, DHTML etc.

  Ø  To train students in designing responsive websites through the knowledge of “MEAN STACK”.

Objectives:

·         To revive the knowledge in all basic computer languages.

·         To handle live projects and execute them with “MEAN STACK” knowledge.

·         To equip students with latest industrial need job potential skills.

Learning Outcomes:

      Students will be able to realize the significance of each language through this training.

      Students will be able to replace the lengthy programs using other languages by simple smart and  short programs through “MEAN STACK” knowledge.

      Students will be able to design responsive websites based on industrial requirement.

      Students will get supplemented with job potential training in addition to their B.Sc course.

      Students will find better employment with good salary package.

4. Workshop on MOODLE

The departments of Electronics, Physics and Computer Science organized a one day workshop on “Effective Usage of MOODLE in Teaching and Learning” for all science faculty members on 16/08/2014.A team from V.R.Siddhartha Engineering College, Kanuru, headed by Dr. A. Koteswara Rao, Dean of Academics, along with Dr.Suneetha, HOD, Department of IT and Mr. Nanda Kishore, M.Tech. conducted the workshop. Two lectures about the effectiveness of MOODLE in higher education followed by a short training programme in uploading teaching  materials through MOODLE was given. The team assured their help for the implementation of MOODLE programme in regular teaching.
