Report of FDP on “Essential Mathematics for Engineers”

December 3, 2016May 11, 2017 Dr. Swapna Kumar S CE, CSE, ECE, EEE, ME, PE

Vidya Academy of Science and Technology hosted the FDP conducted by APJAKTU in association with ICTA Kerala and Vidya Academy of Science and Technology from 29-11-2016 to 3-12-2016. A total of 67 participants attended the FDP. Out of 67 participants 40 were from ten other colleges and 27 from Vidya Academy of Science and technology. The whole course was covered in 30 hours as suggested by APJAKTU and ICT Academy. All the resource persons were from Vidya Academy of Science and Technology. Dr Satheesh S ,HOD AS dept prepared the schedule for the course. The topics covered are listed in the table below.
Principal, Dr Sudha Balagopalan started the course with a 15 minute talk on the essentiality of mathematics for engineers.The general feedback about the classes were positive. Participants from other colleges were happy about the food and infrastructure offered by VAST. ICTA will take an official feedback about the course through online. HODs and other faculty members who had not registered for the course also attended some of the sessions and gave positive feed backs about the classes.
