Innovation comes when we start rethinking what is taught, how is taught, and how learning is assessed. Innovative learning means a lot, and it all comes down to the people – the learner and the teacher. Let’s all help to learn to innovate by innovating learning.
Motivation
In this rethinking and self-directed learning process of innovation, our department is actively participating and motivating students to achieve 21st-century goals such as global awareness, creativity, collaborative problem-solving, and self-directed learning. Motivating by this thought student-educator bond is also taking the department to the next level.
Project-based innovation
To build expertise in engineering concepts the faculties have motivated the students and given them sufficient time to search few smart project ideas and discuss them with them. In return, students come up with brilliant upcoming ideas. The department has provided them with all the required space and technical support. With the help of faculty knowledge and the hard work done together results.
Few versatile mini-projects are listed below:
Text Recognition System
A text recognition system learns whatever is helpful to increase the accuracy in the dataset it is trained on. If some random-looking pixels help to identify the correct class, then the system will use them. If the system only has to handle left-aligned text, then it will not learn any other type of alignment. Sometimes, it learns features which also we humans find useful for reading and that generalize to a wide range of text styles, but sometimes it learns shortcuts that are only useful for one specific dataset. We have to provide diverse data (e.g., mix multiple datasets or use data augmentation) to ensure that the system really learns text features and not just some cheats.
Team Pegasus: Drone
Drones are aircraft with no onboard crew or passengers. They can be automated remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs). It can fly for long periods of time at a controlled level of speed and height and has a role in many aspects of aviation. Drones now have many functions, ranging from monitoring climate change to carrying out search operations after natural disasters, photography, filming, and delivering goods. But their most well-known and controversial use is by the military for reconnaissance, surveillance, and targeted attacks. Hence the students have tried their hand on this upcoming requirement of the market.
Movie Recommendation System
A movie recommendation system is a fancy way to describe a process that tries to predict your preferred items based on your or people similar to you. In layman's terms, we can say that a Recommendation System is a tool designed to predict/filter the items according to the user’s behavior.
