July 6th-8th, 2019: Second and third year B.Tech students, Agniswar Paul – ECE 3rd year, Fahad Kamraan – CSE 3rd year, Ajay Kumar – CSE 2nd year, Jaideep Cherukuri – CSE 2nd year, together presented a paper on “Low-cost IoT+Machine Learning (ML) design for smart farming using multiple applications” at the 10th ICCCNT held at IIT Kanpur. The model developed is a breakthrough in the context of Indian agriculture, providing smart irrigation solutions, based on weather forecasts. This cost-effective, ML infused technology (alert system for farmers) will help improve the yield through crop suggestion and weather determination. - Dr. Tewari receives Homi Bhabha National Institute’s Outstanding Doctoral Student Award July 8, 2019

Second BW Businessworld Education Engineering Excellence Conclave saw a panel discussion on ‘Industry-Academia Collaboration towards Engineering Education Excellence’.
In the education industry, industrial exposure or collaboration is of paramountcy. In India, this collaboration of on-field experience and academia has been neglected for years and if the focus isn’t shifted towards this collaboration then India is going to have a lack of skilled workforce, professional and technical people.

July, 2019: Jamshed Bharucha, VC of SRM AP, Amaravati was invited as a panel member in the second edition of BW Businessworld Engineering Conclave held in New Delhi. In the premise of increasing dynamism in the industry, the discussion on ” Future Skills: Are our engineers ready to adopt the global changes?” hold its own relevance.Bharucha expressed his concern saying, ” Most of the engineers are not working in their field. What is missing from the curriculum is skill development that would help in learning new things. We are still following a failed way of learning i.e. passive learning, where the communication is one way but in SRM, we promote active learning by involving students during the process of learning as this will facilitate the problem-solving skills”. SRM AP has active learning classrooms where regular sessions are designed with a relentless focus on improving student learning outcomes and ensuring student success in high-demand careers. Our students actively participate and engage in discussion, debates, and conversations that intrigues their interest and improves their skills. Also, for the first time in India, SRM AP introduces Collegiate Accelerator Programme presented by Minerva forum to advance the intellectual development of each student.
