SPECIALTY GROUP/MEMBERSHIP OF TECHNICAL SOCIETIES/TECHNICAL CHAPTERS OF THE DEPARTMENT
Number of faculty and students are members of different technical societies such as National Engineers Organization (more than 350 members), Indian Society of Technical Education (more than 200 members), Computer Society of India etc.
ACADEMIC RESULT/EXAM AND CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
We have Social and Technical society for the students named e-XTREME. This committee is by the, of the, for the students under the complete guidance of faculty. This society organizes number of activities e.g. On Line quizzing, paper presentations, technical debates, programming competitions, music & dance, picnic, welcome & farewell of students, prize distribution etc.
The objective of SCEA is to provide the coordination among various departments, working on Computer Technology. It is a platform, where the thoughts are shared to pave out the challenges imposed by industry and society. Besides imparting education to young aspirants, SCEA also focuses on new paradigms in teaching learning methods, faculty development of its sibling organizations, resource optimization, conducting conferences, seminar, workshops and lectures from industry. SCEA performs special industry related courses and trainings, which are benefited to all three departments. SCEA enjoys support of multinational companies and their latest technologies. INFOSYS, ORACLE, IBM, iCarnegie are some of them. Many research projects are at floor coordinated at inter-department level.
RESEARCH
To impart good quality undergraduate engineering education, the department focuses on development of practical and application oriented minds. It is our attempt to make students learn by doing rather than by rote learning of topics and subjects.
Every year, many students join US Universities for imparting further studies. We, at department are very much particular in choosing best destinations for student's summer and industrial training. Many students have gone overseas to conduct their industrial training.
DEVELOPMENT
SCEA believes in counseling the students beyond the classes. Senior faculty members act as mentors to the students. Every year, many students of SCEA join US Universities for imparting further higher studies. SCEA is committed to the students in choosing best destinations for student's summer and industrial training in India and abroad. SCEA consists of advance labs and Computer Centres (CC) to meet the computing needs of whole GCET as well as Hostels. The special focus of the SCEA is on the use of information technology on education and research, and on the study of how the increased availability of information in all spheres of enquiry, be it biological/geological/economic information, etc. can be most effectively utilized in an academic context.
