Mr. T. R. Pachamuthu

04 05 A university is born

A dream brought to reality by a life dedicated to education. The founding chairman of the SRM group, Mr. T.R. Pachamuthu, is first and foremost a teacher. He built an environment, which fosters growth, learning and self-knowledge. We can trace our roots back to 1968, when he first started the Florence Nightingale primary school. This school educates young boys and girls to this day and forms the cornerstone of the SRM group of educational institutions. That same year the chancellor formed the Valliammai Society in honor of his mother, Mrs. R. Valliammai. Path of progress In 1985, the SRM group opened SRM Engineering College in Kattankulathur. A measure of its success is the short span in which the organization grew and over the next few years numerous SRM centers of learning materialized. A clear indication of the progress made by the organization came in the year 2002, when SRM College of Dentistry was awarded the status of deemed university by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development, India. The next year, engineering and later the medical and para-medical colleges of the group were brought under the ambit of SRM Deemed University. The other colleges followed suit in the subsequent years. The crowning moment SRM attained the status of a full-fledged university, under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. An upgraded syllabus and international teaching methods, designed by SRM’s International Advisory Board (IAB), could be put into practice.

And the saga is just beginning. Whether it’s building a 16-storey IT park or acquiring teaching models from MIT of USA, it’s all happening right here, at SRM University. Credits to the university • Rated No.2 in placements and ranked within the top 5 institutions in Tamil Nadu by Outlook Magazine • Computer Science Engineering department was rated No.1 for excellence • Five other departments were graded within the top 5 in Tamil Nadu-AC Neilson Impact Study • SRM University is accredited by NAAC with a score equivalent to 5-star rating • Best ISTE Chapter Award in Tamil Nadu-Pondicherry section

10 11 Learn as students do worldwide

The curriculum at SRM University is constantly evolving. The syllabus is kept in tune with industry developments in India and across the world. The Corporate Advisory Board and International Advisory Board regularly review the curriculum and the management is quick to incorporate recommendations by expert panels. This dynamism is reflected in the curriculum’s flexibility. Understanding the credit based system The flexible credit based system of the university allows students to choose the elective courses of their preference. Credits are allotted per course and students can combine any variation of electives for the year. This helps them to specialize in the areas of their interests and chart the course of their future. Active learning methodology This upside down model of study challenges students; making them think for themselves. The Active Learning methodology is an internationally accepted learning model and is practiced at SRM University. The School of Mechanical Engineering with the help of Dr. Rohan Abeyaratne and Dr. Ely Sachs of MIT of USA created this platform. MIT has carried out an extensive study in developing necessary kits for the students to learn the fundamentals through the discovery route. Some of the engineering principles that can be discovered through these kits are: Characteristics of Fluid Flows, Stress-Strain Relations, Thermodynamically Coupled Gaseous Systems, and First Order Rotational System. SRM University too has developed kits that can help students discern the likes of Lami’s theorem, Fourier law, Four-bar mechanism, Friction and Pneumatic speed circuit amongst others. In the hands of experts Cutting edge learning methods and aids are incorporated in the curriculum. This is mainly because SRM University gives priority to the feedback received from industry leaders, eminent academicians as well as our own students and faculty. Not only that, the curriculum is guided by research experts from the centers of excellence. Industry institute interaction Industry institute interaction has a great bearing on the engineering curriculum besides giving our students valuable exposure to industrial atmosphere and contributing to their subsequent placement as high value graduates. This interaction is a two way process. The university offers employees of industries, tailor-made continuing education programs in engineering that help them to upgrade their knowledge level.

An On-site Education Development Programme (OEDP) agreement was signed with NOKIA for awarding B. Tech. (ECE), B. Tech. (Mechatronics) for their employees holding diploma. M/s. Heritage Property Private Limited, Chennai is providing financial assistance of Rs. 3 Lakhs for UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) funding for a Delivery-full award in M. Tech. (Sustainable concrete) under collaborative programme by School of Civil Engineering, SRM University with University of Dundee, Scotland, UK. Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS), Chennai signed a MoU for conducting symposiums, workshops, faculty training, visiting faculty scheme, and to conduct “EVOLVE” workshop to enhance employability skills of the students.

On the other hand, companies like Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant offer our students training programs, currently available during their fourth year, which makes them industry ready and reduces their learning curve after recruitment.

12 13 A nourishing environment for growth

Guidance will always be found by students who seek it, at SRM University. The faculty at SRM University are drawn from the best in India and even around the world. They are highly qualified and motivated to ensure their students receive the best education they can get. In fact, the university has ensured that there is 1 faculty member to every 12 students studying here, compared to the AICTE recommended 1 to every 15 students. So students receive more individual attention.

An international perspective International faculty from the US, Canada, Germany and New Zealand teach here. Many of these faculty are here on long tenures and have a wealth of experience in teaching both foreign and Indian students.

Future oriented instruction Many of the faculty members have contacts with the industry and have developed themselves through interactions and seminars. So they are in tune with industry trends. The students in turn are taken beyond theory and encouraged to learn through practical exposure. This form of training ensures that the students are ready to match industry expectations. All round development The faculty also share a keen interest in the students’ personality development and help them gain a healthy thirst for knowledge and a determination to succeed, while retaining traditional values of discipline, respect and sincerity in all their endeavors. Each faculty mentors a group of 20 students. The faculty guides each student in their academic as well as personal lives, throughout the duration of their course. The management is constantly on the lookout to give students every opportunity for personal growth. The Semester Abroad Programs (SAP) are a direct result of this. Students can also find career guidance whether they are in search of higher education, placements or training. Through a variety of value additions, like the foreign language classes, SRM

University students have every advantage. Personality development is as critical as academic excellence. So a structured personality development program has been instituted throughout the course of a student‘s study. Through psychometric tests, students’ character traits are analyzed and they are nurtured accordingly. Character development, life skills, etiquette are some of the areas that a student can develop on. Yoga classes that maintain a person’s mind and body fitness are organized. These activities are seamlessly integrated into the credit based system and contribute toward a students graduation.

Backed by a responsive management Student feedback is a critical measure of the university’s performance. There is a credible student and faculty feedback as well as redressal system in place, which gauges performances on a yearly basis. Students can also access the feedback system online.

With round the clock security and helpful ground staff, students can concentrate on their academic pursuits in a safe and secure environment. The management is quick to step in to address student concerns and their well being is given paramount importance.

14 15 The world speaks our language

The world is fast changing and our students need to be future ready. They need to stay on top of the latest developments as they unfold, and contribute to the international community. With this in mind, the university has formed numerous agreements with institutions around the world. International education The university has collaborated extensively with universities abroad, the result of which is the unique Active Learning model being used by the engineering students to boost their learning curve. SRM University’s Memorandum of Understanding with Queen’s University of Canada involves staff and student exchange and twinning academic programs in population and public health. Our Memos of Understanding with the University of Wisconsin and the Health University of the Czech Republic further enhance opportunities for our medical college students. Global symposia International conferences and symposia offer even more opportunities for students and faculty to keep up with global advances in science. SRM University participants actively take part by presenting their research findings. Many have received awards for their work. One of a kind International Advisory Board Industry leaders and eminent academicians from around the world serve on SRM’s International Advisory Board (IAB), which fosters joint research and study abroad. With representatives from such institutions as IBM, M.I.T., and Carnegie Mellon, you can be sure that the SRM University reaps vast benefits that are there to see.
