The
21st century presents a new set of challenges to the tertiary sector of
technical education. The last century ended with much interest in building a
knowledge society and advances in biotechnology. The new century will see
emphasis on pollution control, environmental issues, and sustainable
development. Indeed, companies like ITC and associations like CII already
consider this a reality.
The
scientific and engineering community at Manav Rachna College of Engineering is
in the process of putting together a curriculum that shall produce
environmentally sensitive engineers so as to be able to develop environment
friendly and self sustaining technologies, products and services. Our
engineering students shall be educated and skilled in areas like Green
Chemistry, environment modeling, recycling technologies, efficient burning
techniques, minimizing waste, ecofriendly electronics etc. built on the base of
mechanical, electronics & communication, and computing technologies.
We
shall carry forward the capacity of our students to do problem solving. The
signal feature of the new curriculum is its emphasis on laboratory work for
every course including mathematics.
Thus, not only shall our graduates be relevant to the new century but
they shall also meet the urgent requirement of being skilled in problem
solving. Practical skills of students are honed in laboratories and workshops,
projects, summer training sessions. Starting from elementary interactions
students carry out relatively complex projects in laboratories and workshops,
individually and in groups.
Faculty
members have already initiated the process of involving students in their
R&D work. Exposure to advanced
technology is thus imparted to students outside the framework of their
curriculum. This makes students ready to face challenges in new
product/services and technology.
Co-curricular
activity is further encouraged through the student branches of IEEE and SAE
India, operational for the last two years in the campus. Under the auspices of
these, lectures by experts, quizzes, competitions and courses of companies like
Microsoft and Infosys are organized. Workshops are organized in areas such as
cloud computing, robotics, engine assembling, transmission system assembly for
cars. No wonder then that we have been conferred the Excellence award for our
IEEE branch and our students have won the J. K. Pal awards in both, 2011 and
2012.
Extra
curricular activities at Manav Rachna College of Engineering are organized in
four broad areas, social, literary, cultural, and sports. These are organized
by students for students under the guidance of faculty members of the College.
Students learn event management and develop finer human qualities through these
activities.
In summary, the College is committed to producing
modern, up to date engineers, who can solve contemporary problems, are future
ready, and imbued with the finest qualities cherished by human kind.
