Motivated by the desire to build a strong base for practical
problem solving in several engineering colleges as well as to
build their R & D potential, KSCST decided to promote student
project programmes in a large number of educational
institutions, located Karnataka, in areas of Engineering,
Medicine, Fisheries and Agriculture. It saw an enormous
reservoir of talent and creativity in the students and the
faculty of engineering colleges in Karnataka. Another
important factor is the abundant availability of basic and
infrastructure facilities in the engineering colleges for
experimentation, design, fabrication and testing.
KSCST, therefore, ventured into launching and implementing a
programme called STUDENT PROJECT PROGRAMME(SPP) for
providing financial and academic support for Bachelor of
Engineering projects. Discussions held with the Director of
Technical Education and the Principals of engineering colleges
indicated that such a programme would be worthwhile.
Started in 1977-78, this programme is a unique experiment in
Karnataka and it is a tribute to the foresight and inspired
through on the part of a group of dedicated scientists,
engineers and executives and administrators of Government of
Karnataka. This programme is also a major innovation and first
of its kind in technical education in the country and has a
major impact in improving the quality of technical education.
It links together developmental efforts with educational
institutions so that relevant problems flow to the
institutions and hopefully feasible technical solutions might
flow back to the implementers.
The student project programme is now 44 years old. From
1977-78 to 2020-2021 about 12,590 projects at a total cost of
more than 6.5 Crore Rupees have been funded to various
engineering colleges.
Objectives
Creativity of students applied to solve development
problems of our people and State through Science and
Technology.
Enrich Collegiate education through finding solutions to
real life problems.
Improve understanding and develop methodology of solving
complex issues.
Issues Focused
Several studies focused on rural issues have helped in
development activities in Karnataka. Dissemination of
technology pertaining to low cost housing technology
pertaining to low cost housing technology, ground water
study, low cost agricultural implements, assessment of
drinking water potential, in specific areas have been
notable examples.
This programme has enriched collegiate education through
finding solutions to real life problems. This has also
improved the understanding and development of a
methodology to solve complex issues.
This programme has utilized the services of experts from
various scientific and technical institutions like Indian
Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Management,
National Aerospace Laboratories, Central Manufacturing
Technology Institute (CMTI), National Institute of
Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, ISRO, Universities and in addition to local
organizations like Village Panchayats, Block Development
Boards, Municipalities, Zilla Panchayats, etc. Industry experts
have joined hands in
strengthening the quality of the SPP.
Projects sponsored by KSCST through this programme have been recognized by many
industries and helped the students to seek employment. So far, this programme
has utilized the tremendous talent and potential of the students and the rich
experience of engineering faculty for tackling the real life problems of people
in Karnataka
Methodology
Each proposal is reviewed by an expert and only those
recommended are supported by the KSCST (Approximately one
project proposal out of four gets funded) More than one hundred
senior faculty of Indian Institute of Science, scientists in
national labs and other experts review the proposals. They also
provide guidelines and suggestions to make a project innovative
and meaningful. A modest financial support is provided to the
student group by KSCST.
On the completion of the project, a team of experts examines the
project at a nodal centre and selects the better ones for the
annual Seminar and Exhibition. It helps to identify motivated
faculty from the respective academic institutions and initiate
interactions that could lead to even better projects.
An annual State Level Seminar and Exhibition of selected student projects
(about 350 to 400 projects selected by the evaluation team of experts)
is held every year in one of the engineering colleges wherein
all the Principals, faculty members and students of engineering
colleges and some experts from all over the country are invited
to participate. Awards for the best projects and project guides
are also given during the seminar and exhibition.
Progress in Fourty Four Years
Born in 1977, the Student Project Programme is now 44 years
old. It started with 54 projects in 13 engineering colleges at
a total funding of Rs. 1.2 lakhs i.e., about Rs. 2,250/- per
project on an average. During the 44th series (2020-2021) of
this programme which was commenced in October 2021, a total
of 1,190 projects in 177 colleges / institutions were sponsored by
the Council at a total funding of over Rs. 66.32 lakhs.
From 1977-78 to 2020-2021 about 12,570 projects have been funded to engineering
colleges and to a few polytechnics. Out of these,
approximately 7069 projects (48.5% of total
projects) were selected for annual Seminar and Exhibition held
in various engineering colleges during these 44 years.
In addition to engineering colleges and polytechnics, this
programme was extended to agriculture, fisheries, veterinary,
medical and other general topics relevant to the developmental
needs of Karnataka.
State Level
Seminar and Exhibition of Student Projects
So far 42 Seminar and Exhibitions have been organized in different engineering
colleges. An expert panel is constituted to select best projects for
the PROJECT OF THE YEAR
award. A trophy is also presented every year to the Best Performing College along with cash prizes. In order to encourage all the students
of the selected projects for Seminar and Exhibition, each one of them will be given a certificate and a
cash prize.
The 42nd Series SPP Seminar and Exhibition was organised at
KLE Dr. M. S. Sheshgiri College of Engineering and Technology, Belagavi between
26 - 27 July 2019 and 43rd Series and 44th Series of SPP, the webinar event was held
during July-August 2020 and August 2021 respectively and 87 best projects of the
year 2020-21 was announced on
15th September 2021.
