Introduction to “Udisha Club” (GTU Innovation Council)

•To have a close inter-action of GTU’s students and the industries & businesses,

GTU has created a new model, consisting of three different but inter-connected

entities.

•Udisha club, created at every College. The Club works to obtain student internships

at industries and businesses (I & B) and to arrange regular lectures by professionals

from I & B. In addition it challenges the creativity of young person by asking GTU

students to help I & B by attempting to improve their products or processes. An

Udisha club is chaired by the Principal and consists of some of the faculty members

and students of the College.

Udisha Club Members: Ms. Chandani Gangajaliya (EC Department)

Prof. Anand Patel(EC Department)

Prof. Bhumika Leuva(EC Department)

Unique features of GTU Innovation council Creating User Defined Innovation Eco-system.

To create value for the research work, that has already been done, and the research which is under process at GTU, a User defined innovation ecosystem has been designed.

Mapping of Industrial Needs and Academic research. All GTU research works in UG and PG level are now being scouted from all colleges and

are being put together at www.techpedia.in . Democratizing innovation management process.

To ensure the active participation of each student of GTU in various stages, GTU Innovation Council has devised 3 stage systems by creating GTU Sectorial Council, GTU Innovation Sankuls/Clusters and Udisha (Innovation) Clubs.

Industry-Academia cluster development involving GIDCs and GTU colleges. Involving GTU colleges and MSME (Micro, small and medium enterprises) clusters, 25

GTU innovation Sankuls have been created in various parts of Gujarat.

Developing relay model of innovation and student entrepreneurship module development. Techpedia and GTU will document the progress of all research works at GTU of each

industry defined projects. For the very 1st time GTU will document the progress of its all research works in real time so that a few cycles of attempts of research in coming year will lead the raw IDPs (MSME industry problems) to products or solutions which can be absorbed by industries.

Emphasis on process innovation. For the very 1st time GTU Innovation Council will not only focus on the desired

production solution for industries but it is also emphasizing on documenting the best ways to succeed in specific type of research works and to note down the ways which increases the time cycle of developing solution in corresponding research areas.

Socializing Technologies. Through Shodh-Yatra GTU students are interacting with the rural and tribal people to map

their socio-technical needs and converting them as research projects like designing low cost solar application for tribal areas and designing machines to process Chironji seeds in Dang districts.

Promoting Gandhian Innovations. Two awards will be given in each category of under-graduate, post-graduate and diploma

courses. The award will encourage and support students and faculty to design cost-effective and eco-friendly products and services for the larger section of society. The innovators will be motivated to put their efforts together in socializing technologies.

Exchanging mentors from industry and academia. GTU innovation Sankuls will exchange floor engineers from various MSMEs (Micro,

small and medium enterprises) with corresponding faculties of particular stream which will further lead to design a road map in academia for a need based evolution. Students will get a practical insight and feedbacks from industry floors will enable them in blending their thoughts with proper orientation to adapt innovative approaches in solving real life issues.

General Information regarding Sankul

Any student can pick an industry in any Sankul as per

his/her feasibility. He/she is allowed to choose any particular

industry and interdisciplinary projects [not for

HGCE] are allowed inside same college .

Sankuls are not boundary for choosing an IDP. Any students

can be linked to anywhere.

Project

Problem Definition contains

1. PROBLEM SUMMARYThe problem summary may be a concise description of the industry related technical issues / real world problem which can state the problem, which the student has found out while visiting the industry.

2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMThe problem statement has to be well defined in 3-5 pages with detailed facts and figures as and when possible. The description can have figures/inputs from floor persons from industries/ parameters related to specific domain of technology.

Problem Definition contains3. EXPECTED OUTCOME

The students while interacting with industry persons have to note down the expected out comes (in 1-2 page) from that particular industry due to the proposed innovation either in product or processes. This will gauge the industrial needs and students progress while working on the final year project.

4. OTHER DESCRIPTION (IF ANY)The students are advised to do some literature research related to the corresponding problem/innovation both before and after visiting the industry/MSME during summer vacation. They have to suggest some suggestions about the issues based on literature research of corresponding problems/projects in feasible cases.

Project identification should be based on “Shodh-Yatra” carried out by the

students after completion of B.E Semester 6th Examination but before

starting of the 7th Semester.

Problem definition for the project needs to be submitted by every student

before starting of the 7th semester to the HOD.

Each definition will be evaluated by the college and the GTU both.

Every student must submit the Problem Definition in the specified format

before approx. 27th June[start of 7th sem]. And college must submit list of

students to GTU before 15th July, 2012.

You may contact your Udisha club coordinator/Faculty member /Head of

Department/Principal or Chairman of your Sankul for arranging “Shodh-

Yatra” to the industries.

Guidelines for the Students

• The students are required to identify their problem during the summer of

2012 and they are required to follow all the rules and instructions issued by

department.

• Each student or student group would work under the guidance of the

Faculty  from the College. In case  any problem/other issue arises for the

smooth progress of IDP discovery/Practical Training, it should be

immediately brought to the notice of the Udisha club

coordinator/Faculty /Department/Principal or Chairman of your Sankul.

• For any query please mail to: gtu_innovation_council@gtu.edu.in 

 

Guidelines for the Students

The project is mandatory for all. 

Every student individually or in a group of 2 or in a group of 3(depends on

complexity of project) shall take a project in the beginning of the seventh

semester in consultation with the guide and the project should be completed

in the eight semester.

The individual or group can complete two different projects in both

semesters (i.e. 7th and 8th) if they wish to do so.

Problem is to be located from industry floor and then it has to be developed

in 7th and 8th semester in college  with possible  periodic inputs from

concerned industries.Periodical internal assessment will be done by internal Guides[15 days

review]. A project report will have to be prepared and submitted for a viva - voce

examination at the end of term.

Important information for Students

Student make project in different fields like following:

1. Any application in the field of Electronics and Communication.

2. Investigation of the latest development in a specific field of Electronics and Communication.

3. The investigation of practical problem in manufacture and / or testing of electronics or communication equipments

4. The Microprocessor / Microcontroller based applications projects.

5. Interdisciplinary projects should be encouraged. The examination will be conducted independently in respective departments. [Not for HGCE]

6. Software development/Simulation project related to VLSI, Communication, Antenna & Microwave Designning, Instrumentation, Signal Processing, Image Processing, Remote sensing applications, Power electronics etc.
