FIVE Days Faculty Development Pro- gramme on VTU TEQIP 1.3 SPON- SORED “Outcome Based Education System and NBA Process” from 1st –5 th , Jan 2020
The National Board of Accreditation (NBA)
has been mandated with the quality assess-
ments and accreditation of engineering pro- grams. NBA has introduced the accreditation system based on Outcome Based Education (OBE) with paradigms like program education- al objectives (PEOs), program outcomes (POs), and course outcomes (COs), assessments, con- tinuous improvements etc. A sustainable as- sessment methodology based on students' feed- backs on course outcomes has been adopted and implemented in an engineering institute.
Program was inaugurated by the Chief guest of the day Dr.Gayatri Reddy, VTU Regional Sec- retary, Regional office, Bangalore, Guest of Honor Prof. T Subramanyam Naidu, Former Remember, your Dean & Director, ICSSR,ERIC(NCERT), work may be only Cheif Patron Dr.Shashidhar Muniyappa, Chief Executive Director, Sri Venkateshwara group to sweep a railway of Institutions, Patron Dr.Suresha, Principal, crossing, but it is Sri Venkateshwara College of Engineering, your duty to keep it Convenor Dr.Rajakumara H N.

Three Days Workshop On “Advanced Testing On Concrete Destructive and Non-Destructive” from 6th-8th January 2020
The resource person demonstrated the each test and allowed the participants to repeat. An ob- servation book was recorded and calculation When something is was carried out by the participants. At the end important enough, of the day, the participants were asked to write the outcome of each experiment and its you do it even if the knowledge level. The outcome of these experi- odds are not in ments was at evaluate and create level i.e., K5 your favor & K6 because these experiments benefitted - Elon Musk participants to do projects on innovative mate- rials for PG Programme.
Two Days Technical Seminar On “Recent Developments in structural , Transportation and Environment Engi- neering” 2K19
This seminar is to understand recent develop- ments in the field of Civil Engineering in con- struction industry, Environmental Sustainabil- ity in academia and research field. The present
curriculum of many universities in India is not
sufficient to fulfil the stare of work knowledge Our greatest in the field of Civil Engineering as per industry weakness lies in standards and demand. This technical seminar giving up the most will enhance the knowledge of participants by certain to succeed filling up the gap between industry and aca- is always to try just demics. In this seminar many experts from in- one more time dustry and academia will ad-dress the partici- pants in various domain of Civil Engineering. - Thomas A Edison
