Innovation in Teaching and Learning

  • 15CVL302: Design of Concrete Structures
    Students were given a term project in which they have to visit a construction site and collect information like footing details, reinforcement details, estimation details, structural details. They were asked to make a presentation using the data collected. Students were tested for their understanding about the differences and importance of the theoretical structural knowledge over practical knowledge. A report was submitted by team of 5 or 6 students at the end of the semester. The entire exercise was considered as a term project.
    Students were also asked to construct a standard macros excel sheet templates for designing simple structural elements like beams , columns, slabs and dog legged stair cases as a part of the term project.
  • CVL480: Construction Management
    Primavera – a project management software tool was taught to the students in the class. A hands on training was given for every students working on their personal laptops for about 8 teaching hours with the help of projector. A term project on ‘scheduling and planning of a construction of a simple building’ using Primavera was given to the students. The term project was given higher weightage in their internal marks.
  • MNG400: Principles of Management
    An exposure to startup ideas, incubators in India was given to the students. Students were asked to do a preliminary market survey and methodology framing for any start-up idea of their choices, as a term project which was higher weightage in their Internal marks. Students were grouped into 10-15 teams depending on the class strength. An insight about forming a Detailed Project Report (DPR) was also taught in the class. Best DPR reports were chosen and guided to competition held by Business incubators in South India.
    2013-2017 Batch: One of the student team (Cashless credit cards) bagged a spot in “top 30 startup idea” organised by Amrita Technology Business Incubator. Also the startup model was implemented in the university’s cultural fest ANOKHA 2017. Team members: Akhil reddy & Akshay Reddy. 2014-2018 Batch: One of the student team has successfully registered a Private limited company based on their DPR on the theme “Solid waste Management”. Team Members: Koushik Raj & Gowtham Raj
