Sharing my experince as entrepreneur with Academicians at Amity.

Deptt of Science and Technology and Amity University organised a 2 weeks 'training the trainers on entrepreneurial skills' for faculty. Idea is to train the faculty so that they can encourage the students to be an entrepreneur instead of looking for jobs. I shared my experience with faculty members during the inauguration ceremony and later spend 1.5 hours interacting with students.

 

Visit to UIET @ Kurukshetra

I was invited by Mr Rahul Gupta of UIET to present Industry designs on Oct 19th.

I presented about what I do to M Tech students and B Tech students. While students and Mr Gupta was very passionate and enthusiastic, their course and existing knowledge was too obsolete. I shared two kits of PT60 controller from freescale with Aseem Bansal and one more student.

Here is the copy of presentation.

Guest Lecture at AKG engg college

During my participation in ISBA in Feb 2010, Dr Paul, Dean at AKG College of Engg visited us and liked our designs and then invited us for a guest lecture at his college.


On March 12,2010, we visited AKG College of Engg at Ghaziabad on NH24.I It was around 20 kms Noida and had good infrastructure and a dedicated faculty. 


I spent around 30 minutes talking about myself, electronics and embedded and my favorite project Joy-n-Freedom. During Q&A there were no queries from students, however during the demo of our products, there were lot of queries. 


Students at AKGCE were really wonderful, intelligent and working on lot of new project. Only thing there (as well at most of other engg colleges) was lack of interaction with industry and they were working on old and obsolete technology.


However I saw dedication and keen interest in students welfare in HOD, Electronics Mr Chopra's vision and plan.


I am sure under his guidance, students of AKGEC will create wonderful results.



My best wishes to faculty and students. I am also looking for closer interaction and more projects along with them.


Swati Mehta and Pankaj Talwar assisted me in the presentation. As usual there were cheerful, happy and eager to work and do what ever is required without any issues.
