Initiatives

Project School

Project School started this year, as one of the basic pillars of Learning


Objective, milestone:

The ultimate objective of Project School is to provide students with a well-rounded skill set that
includes hands-on experience with end-to-end projects, as well as an understanding of the
integration of multiple technologies into a single frame. This will not only enhance their technical
abilities but also give them a competitive edge in the job market. We believe that Project School
will be a valuable addition to our educational institution and will help our students to be better
prepared for the industry.

Selection process


● Eligibility of Project School is open to all students, with selection based on their performance in a
machine test on programming languages. Seats are limited and will be allotted based on test
scores and availability. Once selected, students are free to form their own teams of 5 members.


Resources allocated for the project:
● To ensure that the projects are completed to the highest standard, students will be given time and
space to discuss and review their work. This review process will be designed through tasks and
reading assignments that guide students through different methods of problem-solving and help
them to finish their projects successfully. The venue for project school will be at the Virtusa
Excellence Centre, where students will have access to the necessary resources and support to
complete their projects.


Finish line:
● It is our aim that every student in project school will complete 4 different projects, gaining a
strong understanding of the latest technologies and industry practices. We are confident that this
initiative will equip our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to secure high-paying
jobs with confidence
Details about Project School:
● Students selection starts from first semester of second year
● Students have to complete one project per semester per student
● Every 10 students per project (2 teams of 5 each)
● Every project has a mentors
● Students have to select their project domain in AI / ML, AWS, Cyber Security, Blockchain, IOT,
Unreal, YOLO v4, Etc.,
● The project review will be done weekly basis only.

False Data Injection attacks:

PROBLEM STATEMENT
IoT is the latest industrial revolution primarily merging automation with advanced
manufacturing. But IoT is vulnerable to cyber attacks like false data injection. In this project I
created a MERN stack web app that helps us to analyze various predictive models using
LTSM, GRU and CNN. The false data is injected using Python/MATLAB.
SCOPE

This application deals with the problem of developing a Predictive Maintenance system
with the use of Machine Learning (SVM, kNN, Random Forests, Logistic Regression using Auto
Encoders) to classify life cycle of a sensor. The proposed system consists of mainly three phases:
the first phase (i.e., pre-processing), the next phase (i.e., model training) and the final phase (i.e.,
classification). The first phase includes calculation of EOL (End of Life) of sensors used and using
that I am calculating LR (Life Ratio). Then, using LR I am creating labels. These are then
classified into three categories:
Good: Good Condition represents 0.
Moderate: Moderate Condition represents 1.
Warning: Warning Condition represents 2.

TECHNOLOGY STACK
The technologies used in this application are:
● Python 3.10.0
● MATLAB
● Django
The modules used in this application are:
● Tensorflow
● scikit-learn
● matplotlib
● pandas
● Numpy
● Keras
● Seaborn
The algorithms used in this application are:
● kNN (k-Nearest Neighbours)
● Logistic Regression
● Random Forests
● Autoencoders

Foundation School

Coding is an essential skill that has transformed the way we live and work. Its importance in the job market and for innovation and problem-solving cannot be overstated. As technology advances, it is crucial to keep up with the latest trends and developments in coding.

Foundation School (FDS) focuses on improving and enhancing the coding skills of students of the first and second years. Students will have FDS coding sessions 2 hours / day , thrice a week for the complete semester. These sessions are apart from the regular University classes.

During these sessions students are given challenging coding problems and are encouraged to solve them. Faculty mentors too are available in the class for those students who need help. During these FDS sessions students significantly hone up their coding skills using the Tessellator , an in-house developed Learning Management System

Foundation School lays a solid foundation for the students to subsequently move into Project School & Finishing School.

NPTEL

KMEC is a Local Chapter for NPTEL (Id: LC-2181)

NPTEL has set up a SWAYAM-NPTEL Local Chapter in college which will be under the headship of a faculty member of the college, who would be their Single Point of Contact (SPOC). SPOC is updated about all the latest NPTEL initiatives and given information which he can disseminate among the students. He will identify suitable mentors for various courses, who can ensure that students are active in a course, are submitting their assignments on time and also clarify the doubts they may have.

KMEC conducts regular Professor-led review classes and labs for the NPTEL courses being pursued by the KMEC students , for the entire duration of the course. This will enable the student to understand the subject better and perform well in the final exam.

About NPTEL

The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was initiated by seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee) along with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2003. Five core disciplines were identified, namely, civil engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering and mechanical engineering and 235 courses in web/video format were developed in this phase.

The main goal of NPTEL Phase II (2009-14) was to build on the engineering and core science courses launched previously in NPTEL Phase I. An additional 600 web and video courses were created in all major branches of engineering, physical sciences at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels and management courses at the postgraduate level. Several improvements such as indexing of all video and web courses and keyword search were implemented.

Some highlights:

  • Largest online repository in the world of courses in engineering, basic sciences and selected humanities and social sciences subjects
  • Online web portal http://nptel.ac.in – more than 471 million+ views
  • Youtube channel for NPTEL – most subscribed educational channel, 1.5 million+ channel subscribers, 404 million+ views
  • More than 56000 hours of video content
  • Most accessed library of peer-reviewed educational content in the world
  • 52000+ hours of transcribed content; 51000+ hours of subtitled videos

NPTEL MOOCs

NPTEL began offering open online courses in March 2014 along with certificates from the IITs/IISc for those who completed the courses successfully.

It is now possible for ANYONE outside the IIT System to be able to do an online certification course from NPTEL and get a certificate from the IITs. IITs are reaching out and taking education to the homes of people through this initiative.


Certification process

NPTEL began the initiative of offering certification to students for courses in March 2014. The process of certification is as follows.

  1. Subject Matter Experts (SME - faculty from IITs or partner institutes with input from industry) create recorded video content for courses.
  2. The course is uploaded on the portal and opened for enrollments, which is free.
  3. Every week, about 3 hrs of video content is released along with an assignment , which is evaluated and provides the student with a score.
  4. Teaching Assistants (TAs) and the faculty members support the discussion forum – answering questions and clearing doubts.
  5. If someone wants to get a certificate from the IITs/IISc after doing the course, he/she should register for the in-person proctored certification exam that is conducted in 100+ cities across India in collaboration with an exam partner. The certification exam is not free but has a nominal fee of Rs 1000.
  6. Final score=25% assignment score + 75% exam score. The pass criteria for exams is being changed from July 2019. A learner will pass and be certified only if Average assignment score (out of 100) >= 40 AND Final exam score ( out of 100) >= 40. E-verifiable certificates are made available on nptel.ac.in/noc Only e-certificates will be published. Hard copies of certificates will NOT be printed.
  7. These certificates are envisioned for use in credit transfer to universities or for making the student more employable or for enhancing his growth in his current place of work.
