Challenges Faced  By School of Computer Science & IT DAVV
What should be the paradigm  for the 21st century SCSIT
What is our CS Graduate? Not a Designer Not an Analyst Not a Communicator Not a Team member/Leader Not a Visionary Not a Professional Not an Innovator Only an aloof Coder
EMPLOYER’S VIEWS Employers are complaining that academic programmes from schools to Universities simply don’t teach what people need to know and be able to do. They want people who can think intuitively, who can communicate well, work in teams, and are flexible, adaptable and self - confident
Finish your homework.  There are students in China and ………who want your job.
Issues Quality of our graduate Growth to match needs of Society Dynamism in CS/IT Job Requirements How to tackle above issues in constraints of existing university environment?
Challenges Faculty Quality and Needs Dynamism in Course Curriculum Use of Technology Assessment for Quality
Challenges:  Faculty Motivation Self Motivation Possible Carrots Freedom Facilities Responsibility Innovation Participation
Challenge met:  Faculty Motivation Best Teaching Award International Conf Participation Best Practices Preparation Organizational leadership Participative Experiences in Decision Making Career Growth International Tour by Faculty and students
What Next for Faculty Creating a shared learning environment Peer  Interaction
Challenges : Dynamism in Curriculum To Meet Career Objectives Fast Changes in CS and its vastness Learning skills and diversity of Learners Learning attitude Learners past learning ethics
Challenges : Dynamism in Curriculum Learning rather than teaching Flexibility to suit learner’s aptitude and interest Multidisciplinary / interdisciplinary approach  Border less learning Multicultural and international experience Life long Learner
Challenges Met : Dynamism in Curriculum Curriculum Design  Define Program Outcomes with stake holders involvement Determine Courses for Program Outcomes Design Courses with Defined Learning Outcomes Evaluate the success of the Courses through structured assessment
Challenges Met : Dynamism in Curriculum Publication of detailed curriculum, online as well as printed copy to all students ABET International standards UK Accreditation standard for Curriculum details and assessment Online student feedback (mid sem, end sem) End semester Workshop on Assessment, proceedings online (6 th  Workshop First week Jan 2010) Feedback on improvements given to faculty
 
What Next : Dynamism in Curriculum Vertical and Horizontal Mobility  Credit transfer and accumulation  Continuous relationship with stakeholders Interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary ….. Social issues
Transformative research and education:  P otential to revolutionize an existing discipline through a paradigm shift or create a new one, with a high potential for advancing a field of study.
Challenge : Use of Technology Increased Population Innovation in Teaching Learner’s dynamism (slow/fast learners)
Challenge : Use of Technology Better experience of Learning  Efficiency and Productivity Distributed Learning Global Learning materials  Cyber  infrastructure
Challenge : Use of Technology Learners attitude Teacher’s approach Transparency Ethics First step?
Challenge Met : Use of Technology Complete process of admission was online Increased outreach and efficient Conference, workshops and Seminars facilitated through ICT One-Student One-Laptop  Wi-Fi Environment
What Next : Use of Technology Online Lecture material is mandatory More transparency and open environment for betterment Thrill of learning and better learning experiences with ICT THINKING LAB
Research Currently about 20 research scholars registered in the School, and 3-4 are awarded Ph.D each year UGC-SAP, DST-FIST, UGC-BSR Grants awarded in past 2 years for about 1.2 Crores to initiate many research areas
Future Proposals New Programmes 1. M.Tech-Ph.D (Modular 4 years programme with exit after M.Tech) 2. M.Sc-M.Tech (Modular 3.5 years, post B.Sc)
Future Proposals New Programmes (Interdisciplinary/Multidisciplinary) B.Tech (Informatics) specialization in Bio-Informatics Industrial Informatics Health-Informatics Pharma/Chemo Informatics Nano-Informatics Forensic Informatics
Future Proposals New Programmes (Inter-disciplinary) M.Tech (Information System/Technology Management) (post M.B.A also permitted) M.Tech (Knowledge Management) (post M.B.A also permitted) M.Tech (e-Governance) (post M.B.A also permitted)
Future Proposals New Programmes (For Commerce Stream) 1. BCA (Accounting Inf. Sys.) 2. MCA (Accounting Inf. Sys) 3. MCA (SAP/ERP) 4. MCA (Business Information System)
PATH OF FUTURE PLAY  IT RELISH  IT   ENJOY  IT

Editor's Notes

  • #18 The first sentence of this definition of transformative research was taken from the 12/16/2004 NSB/CPP charge memo to the Task Force on Transformative Research ( http://www.nsf.gov/nsb/committees/cpptrcharge.htm ).
