Agendas: Agenda 1- DOMAIN – Extra curricular. HEADING - INVOLVEMENT OF PG STUDENTS IN EXTRA CURRICULAR. We often ignore the fact the while doing higher studies, one just does'nt focus on education solely but also on various extra-curricular activities. IIT Guwahati has always been a platform for excelling in extra-curricular. But it is seen, that PG students rarely participate in the events that may help them better their extra-curricular. This may be due to lack of interest and is mostly due to lack of encouragement. PROPOSAL- I would like to encourage PG students as equally as UG students to take part in various events like Techniche, Alcheringa, various other inter-hostel competitions etc. PLAN OF ACTION- Motivating PG students for participation in various events by telling them importance of that events and encouraging them that it will make their CV strong. Agenda 2- DOMAIN- Placements and career development. HEADING - PLACEMENTS OF MTECH AND PHD It has been seen that the placement percentages of MTech and PhD are deteriorating with years. This is not only because the companies prefer UG over PG students but also due to lack of skill improving classes for PG. PLAN OF ACTION- It should be kept in mind that the students pursuing masters need some classes on soft skills, communication skills and also coding. Agenda 3- DOMAIN - sports and physical activities. HEADING - SPORTS EVENTS FOR PG STUDENTS. PROPOSAL- PG students rarely get chance to be involved in sports may be sibce their schedule doesn't match with the undergraduate studenst. To avoid this seperate practice teams can be made for UG and PG students. PLAN OF ACTION- It will be compulsory for all the PG student to choose at least one sport same as UG course. Agenda 4: DOMAIN- Summer internships HEADING - SUMMER INTERNSHIP FOR PG STUDENTS. PROPOSAL- As UG final year students get a chance to go for summer internships, the same provisions should be provided to the PG students. A seperate internship portal should be opened for the PG students where they can apply for summer internships. PLAN OF ACTION- Introducing a different portal for PG students to apply for internships in country as well as in abroad so that they can get a chance to get job or explore theirselves. Agenda 5- DOMAIN- Girls welfare HEADING- 1.SINGLE ROOMS FOR PG GIRLS. 2.IMPROVING PARTICIPATION OF GIRLS IN EVENTS. PROPOSAL- Masters and phD girls should get should get single rooms from very first year same as boys.

    KUMAR KUNAL Ph No.: 7135044627.E-mail: [email protected] Academic Qualifications • Pursuing Masters in Mechanical Engineering at University of Houston Current GPA: 4.0/4.0 • Graduated in May 2006 with B.Tech in Mechanical engineering from IIT Guwahati CPI (Cumulative Performance Index): 8.24 / 10 B.Tech Project Title – Modeling and Shape Optimization of Flexible Manipulator Proposed Work – The project had two main aspects- a) Numerical Modeling of the Manipulator to study its Dynamic behavior. b) Shape optimization of the Manipulator to improve the system performance. For the modeling purpose various numerical methods were explored. Mesh free method (MLPG) was tried out first but it was too time consuming. Finally FEM with a new type of shape functions were implemented for the modeling purpose. For Optimization purpose Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) was used. The manipulator was discritized into elements; the area of each was taken as the decision variable. We obtained profiles for the Manipulator, which showed a marked improvement in the system behavior. Guide : Dr. U.S.Dixit, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Guwhati Duration: August 2005 – April 2006 Computer Skills • Programming language : C • Software Knowledge : Matlab, MS Office, Adams, Solid Edge Work Experience • Summer Intern, Indian Institute of Science (IISC), Bangalore. Work Summary - I worked on the design of a novel sun tracking system for solar power generation. In most of the traditional design, the receiver is attached to the concentrator. This is disadvantageous in the case of heavy receivers. I proposed a novel design of sun trackers with fixed receivers. The work was presented as a paper in the National Conference on Machines and Mechanisms (NACOM) 2005.

  • Ugad 1819.Pdf
    An initiative of Branding & Communications team of IIT Kharagpur and the students body Branding & Relations Cell led by Dean, International Relations. For more information contact: [email protected] I congratulate the Branding and Communications Cell of the Institute for this novel initiative. Students enjoy the learning experience best when they are challenged. I have often interacted with students, asking them what they thought was the best or worst in a class that they had just attended. And I have often been stumped by their replying that they thought they had “learnt nothing”. Why? I asked them. They said that they did not find the teaching challenging enough. This should leave no one in doubt that we should take another look at the teaching and learning process. Students themselves can be a part of this relook. I have often advocated for student-teachers, often letting them take my own class. The result has been phenomenal, making students involved learners. Only greater involvement on the part of students can ensure their learning. This does not have to happen inside the class always. Sports, extra-curricular activities provide their own challenges. I encourage students to take up these challenges. As these entries show, many of them have indeed taken them up, and realized their enormous potential and talent. Tap your hidden talents and energies. Take up challenges, get involved and enjoy the learning experience Every student is an achiever in his or her own right. Each of them has tremendous potential inside them, and if they pursue their passion with focus and hard work, they will reach their goal.
