The mission of Electrical Engineering department of Atharva College of Engineering (ACE) is to create a new generation of engineers right from the first batch with a spirit of innovation and creativity. The Institute cherishes a dream of becoming a leading centre in Engineering and Technology with an international outlook in the years to come. As a first step, a sincere effort has been started to remove the considerable gap between education and employability of the much-in-demand graduate pool. Forexcellent placement opportunities, special sessions have been arranged to provide training to students in order to inculcate problem solving approach in them for clearing entrance exams, mock GD for placement in companieswith an emphasis on various programming languages. This paper innumerate several steps taken in Electrical department of ACE to improve the skill set of graduates, emphasize soft skills, refocus the assessments, teaching-learning process and curriculum away from remembering but including analysis, research and innovation as per the Blooms taxonomy. The interaction with various employers has been carried out by conducting Industry Institute Interaction (III) to understand the present demand of skills e.g. basic knowledge of the subjects, software-C, C++, Java programming, Autocad, Matlab coding and simulation etc. required in the corporate sector.Keywords

Adolescence is a time of opportunities as well as vulnerabilities to risk associated behavior that can have life long consequences for health and well being. It is considered as a nutritionally vulnerable period of life for several reasons. Adolescence is an intense anabolic period when requirements for all nutrients increase. During this phase, 20 per cent of final adult height and 50 per cent of adult weight are attained, bone mass increases 45 per cent and dramatic bone remodeling occur and soft tissues, organs and even red blood cell mass increase in size, increasing nutrients as well as responsibilities and problems, changing of life style and food habits, doubt about body image, peer pressure, greater demand for independence and other behavioral changes affect eating patterns among adolescents.- Technology aided and Practical Oriented Innovative Trends in Engineering Education

Psychological and social health problems related to overweight may affect academic achievement of overweight children. The purpose of the present study was to assess the relationship between overweight and academic achievement in school children. A total of 330, school children studying between 6th and 10th standard aged between 11 to 16 years were studied from two affluent schools of Allahabad city- Maharshi Patanjali Vidya Mandir and Tagore Public School. Children with BMI between 85th and 95th percentile were considered as overweight. 165 identified overweight children as cases and 165 normal weight children as controls were selected. While selecting controls, it was kept in mind to maintain the similarity of age, gender and standard between case and control. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) along with Math and English grades were recorded from the school register to evaluate the academic achievement of children. Chi square test was used for statistical analysis. Findings of the study reveal that there is no significant difference (p>0.05) between cases and controls with respect to grades achieved in CGPA, Math and English in both boys and girls. Overall, overweight was not found significantly associated to children's academic achievement. More research studies are required to further explore the relationship between excess body weight and academic achievement.Keywords
