Abstract

This paper shares the best practices adapted in the department of Information Technology to enhance the employability of students. Student's placement is considered to be the most important factor for any program in the engineering education. The vision, mission, goals and curriculum of the Information Technology program are designed in-line to prepare the students to be industry ready. Also, the curriculum delivery and evaluation of students are designed and executed with a goal to prepare students to be industry ready. Though all the collaborative efforts of the work force of the IT department and its associates are taken to execute their tasks that should lead to placement of all eligible students, the placement statistics of the department is not satisfactory. The collaboration amongst the work force and its associates must be redefined to improve the placements of the students. To address the student's placements to its best, a team of volunteers from the faculty is formed under best practices activity of Quality Circle at RIT and proposed a solution by defining innovative practices that lead to the betterment of student's placement and titled as "Faculty's Portfolio Collaboration: To enhance Student's placement through faculty's coordination". The practices defined were practiced for one academic year and the results are analyzed. The analysis of the results showed that there is an improvement in the performance of students in most aspects and requires additional efforts for betterment of few other aspects. Necessary measures were also identified and suggested to faculties for the improvement in the portfolios that under performed. The practices defined will be continued in the department to achieve consistency in the results and analyze the same.

Keywords

Abstract

Most of the soft branch courses are imaginary, that takes a lot of time to understand the concepts and visualize them. In Computer Science, Design and Analysis of algorithm course is one of them where we design the algorithmic solution to a real-time problem and analyze the complexity of the algorithm. In this paper we have shown the different learning tools to understand nature, working and systematic implementation of the problem by visualizing it, also we have discussed suitable strategies to design and implement same and compared the complexity of algorithms. Further, we have compared the impact of an activity on students by comparing assessment strategies ISE-I and ISE-II, also by taking feedback from students before and after conduction of activity.

Keywords

Visualization Tools, Role Play, Animation, Simulator, Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Logical Skills etc.

Abstract

Quality Circle is one of the platform where group of people in the organization solves the problem exist in their workplace. This activity improves teamwork, creative ability within the employees of the organization along with the growth of the organization. This paper represents a case study on transformation from manual token generation to automatic token generation system for library to collect fine and photocopy fees. Library is a core component of any educational institution. Libraries give people the opportunity to find jobs, explore research, experience new ideas, get lost in wonderful stories, while at the same time providing a sense of place for gathering. It’s never just a random collection of books. In our institute’s central library, we were working with a traditional manual method of issuing token for photocopying facility and book fine collection. The current method uses paper and pen mode for the token generation. It consumes a lot of time to tally the accounts and generate report. We have taken this problem into consideration to make the system fully automatic by building a web application. The proposed system consists admin-user modules comprising mainly two modules for xerox utility and fine collection. The system also keeps the track of daily transactions. Additionally, the system has helped to reduce the paper work with human efforts and time, generating the reports on a click with easy tally of accounts.
