Item Academic audit -Tool for quality enhancement in Teaching-Learning process in higher education institutes(K.K.Wagh Institute of engineering education & research, 2019-06-08) Khan, Tabrez; Magar, Rajendra; Ansari, Zakir; Shaikh, AfzalAcademic audit is a methodical and scientific process of designing, implementing, monitoring and reviewing the quality in academic systems in higher education. The academic audit provides a strategic planning and its implementation for the teaching learning activity in the institute. In order to ensure quality and effective curriculum delivery, in teaching-learning, quality assurance system like Internal Academic Audit (IAA) system is very much essential. This paper aims to discuss the effective implementation of IAA in the technical campus situated in Panvel, Maharashtra. Academic Audit is done thrice during the term as Pre Term Audit- before the commencement of the term, Mid Term Audit- during the mid of the term and Post Term Audit- after the term end. Total thirty four numbers of input parameters are identified based on which academic audit is carried out. For every single parameter in the audit format, the course owner is evaluated for complete, partially complete and incomplete status of that parameter as per defined rubrics.The score of all the parameters is converted to a scale of 5 which would become the score of that course owner and would be used for appraising the concerned course owner.The reports of the Pre Term, Mid Term, and Post Term audit would be kept with the audit team and the necessary corrections would be conveyed to the respective course owners at the time of the audit. It was observed that after the introduction of the aforementioned process, the academic files of all the faculty members were found complete in all respects and quality of assignments, teaching learning and evaluation process was improved significantly.Item Achieving quality excellence in Indian engineering education: modelling and analysis using system dynamics(International Journal of Business Excellence - Inderscience, 2016-04) Honnutagi, Abdul RazakAs the Indian industry becomes globally competitive in several sectors, one of the critical factors is the success of the engineering and technical education.

S.Attackers are using various techniques to attack on an E-Commerce site; they do have various options to initiate attack. On other hand web administrators finding it difficult to prioritize the defense mechanism against each web attack. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an effective method in dealing with the situations where we need to select one among available alternatives or prioritize them according to their severity. Here we try to focus on some major type of attacks which are most offensively happening on the web-services; like Cross-Site Scripting Attack, DoS Attack, SQL Injection Attack and Man-in-Middle Attack. These top online web attack methods were chosen to decide the most probable happening attack on a website. The prposed methods shows step by step approach to find the most probable alternative that hackers could first use to do the attack.On the basis of this model the administrator can take care of it at first place.Item Ancient astronamy & advance science(International Journal of Scientific Research - IJSR, 2016-02) Iqbal, SajidArchaeoastronomy is the study of astronomical ideas and their evolution over time. India has one of the richest heritage of ancient monuments and documents that detail how human perspective has changed over the millennia. Looking at these ancient remains it is possible to decipher the relative evolution of ideas and cross cultural influences. Here we present some of these patterns that are discernible. However, absolute dating of ancient monuments that are more than 2 or 3 millennia old is not easy. We therefore suggest that there is a need for scientific instruments to carbon date these monuments in order to understand the chronology of evolution of scientific ideas.Item Application of Box–Behnken design for preparation of levofloxacin-loaded stearic acid solid lipid nanoparticles for ocular delivery: Optimization, in vitro release, ocular tolerance, and antibacterial activity(International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2015-12-29) Mirza, Salman BaigThe aim ofthe present study was to develop and optimize levofloxacin loaded solid lipid nanoparticles for the treatment of conjunctivitis. Box–Behnken experimental design was applied for optimization of solid lipid nanoparticles. The independent variables were stearic acid as lipid (X1), Tween 80 as surfactant (X2) and sodium deoxycholate as co-surfactant (X3) while particle size (Y1) and entrapment efficiency (Y2) were the dependent variables. Further in vitro release and antibacterial activity in vitro were also per- formed. The optimized formulation oflevofloxacin provides particle size of 237.82 nm and showed 78.71% entrapment efficiency and achieved flux 0.2493 g/cm2/h across excised goat cornea. In vitro release study showed prolonged drug release from the optimized formulation following Korsmeyer–Peppas model. Antimicrobial study revealed that the developed formulation possesses antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli equivalent to marketed eye drops. HET-CAM test demonstrated that optimized formulation was found to be non-irritant and safe for topical ophthalmic use. Our results concluded that solid lipid nanoparticles are an efficient carrier for ocular delivery of levofloxacin and other drugs.Item Application of building information modeling (BIM) to civil engineering projects(International Journal of Engineering Research, 2016-01-09) Gawade, Prathamesh P.; Pakhmore, Mudassir Zahid; Mansoori, RaiyanAbstract : There are various draw backs in conventional method used for planning, scheduling & monitoring projects in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)industry which fails to provide a clear view of the on-going actual work at the project site.

There is a severe need for identifying the sources of wastes and to improve the competence and to cut back on these wastes. For this Lean construction and its tools have been introduced as a new management principle for better implementation. These include reducing variability in production and production cycles. The tools that shall be used to achieve this include following a push-pull approach, use of multifunctional, multi skilled teams, and scrutiny of the following by just in time schedules. There are countless challenges in the implementation of lean concept in construction industry. The implementation of lean management in Indian construction industry is scarce. Due to lack of attention and illiteracy towards the lean management principles and application of its tools the owner, contractor, engineers etc. are still acquiring training to implement this principle in their projects. This project mainly focuses on to identify the possibilities of implementation of lean management in construction industry. It will be achieved by preparing the questionnaire and also conducting the interview with the project personals like top management, engineers and site supervisors etc., via cyber mass media. The questionnaires shall then be evaluated to adopt the best suited techniques through statistical methods. This paper focuses on the possibilities of effective utilization of lean management principles in construction industry, which can surely increase the quality of work and profit rate by eliminating the wastage of material.Item Architecture of new mosques in Kerala: appropriated aesthetics in the aftermath of urbanisaiton and globalisation(International Conference on Islamic Art & Architecture (ICIAA), 2011-11) Dalvi, SmitaIn recent times, the architectural features of the old mosques in Kerala, India are in the process of being replaced. traditional mosques were built in timber and like other religious structures in Kerala emerged from domestic traditions and evolved from local climate, materials, culture and traditions of craft....Item Artificial Intelligent Techniques in Rainfall-Runoff Process(5 International Conference on Water Resources and Arid Environments (ICWRAE 5), 2013-01-07) Magar, RajendraThe use of rainfall-runoff (R-R) models in the decision making process of water resources planning and management has become increasingly indispensable. R-R modeling is still one of the most difficult issues in hydrological sciences due to the dynamic, uncertain and non-linear characteristics and relationship among the processes. In the broad sense R-R modeling has started at the end of 19th century and till today various types of models have been developed and applied based on their mechanism, input data and other modeling requirements. Fairly a large number of empirical, conceptual and physically based models having their own merits and demerits have been developed and applied to map the R-R relationship. In the real world, temporal variations in data do not exhibit simple regularities and thus R-R process is difficult to analyze and model accurately by conventional modeling approach. Hence R-R modeling approach has been shifted from process based technique to data-driven based Artificial Intelligent (AI) techniques like Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Genetic Programming (GP) and Model Tree (MT). The primary aim of this paper is to highlight the merits and demerits of those recent works on R-R modeling using AI techniques. As a value addition, a graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed as a decision support system.Item As Engineering Teachers, Do We Resemble A T20 Cricket Batsman or A Test Cricket Batsman?: Let Us Introspect(International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET), 2024-10) Patil, Dada S.The title might puzzle the readers. The author positively hopes that the work carried out and the content presented in this paper with reference to an effective teachinglearning process, in general and teaching-learning mechanism in engineering education, in particular would probably convince the readers about the appropriateness and relevance of this unusual sounding title. The so called smart engineering students of Generation Z are habituated to shortcut and mechanical way of learning rather than in-depth and conceptual learning; so, they tend to pursue the teacher for a quick way of teaching. Hence, the attainment of various learning levels, as depicted in Bloom’s taxonomy, in a true sense, remains an ambiguous issue. The author shared his short video with the second year civil engineering students to carry out an interesting exercise through Google form survey. The video contained a demonstration of calculation of two support reactions of a simply supported beam, from first year engineering mechanics course. Intentionally, the problem was demonstrated in a highly mechanical way through the video, without explaining the concepts at depth. A Google form containing 8 questions was circulated among the students. In all, 46 students responded. The first question was exactly similar to the problem demonstrated in the video. It was correctly answered by 30 students, thereby making the passing rate as 65.2%. Questions 2 to 8 were related to the first question; however, critical thinking and conceptual teaching was needed to answer those. Most of the students performed poorly while attempting those questions. This clearly underlined a dire need of imparting strong fundamentals to the learners by an engineering teacher. Along with discussing the significance of various modern tools and techniques for an efficient teaching-learning mechanism, this paper mainly stresses upon the need of conceptual teaching. Key Words: Bloom’s taxonomy, teaching-learning, conceptual teaching, modern tools and techniques of teaching, e-learning, Google form survey, etc.Item As Engineering Teachers, Do We Resemble A T20 Cricket Batsman or A Test Cricket Batsman?: Let Us Introspect(International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET), 2024-10) Patil, Dada S.The title might puzzle the readers.

For 1 cubic metre of hardened concrete, 3 cubic metre of water is required; most of which is consumed for curing, thereby leading to an unsustainable practice. Limited depth of water penetration occurs in conventional method of external curing. Self-Curing (SCu), also known as Internal Curing facilitates uniform moisture distribution throughout the concrete. Moreover, enormous amount of curing water can be saved for a sustainable development. This is achieved by incorporating prewetted porous lightweight aggregates (LWAs); water held in LWA pores is gradually desorbed in to surrounding matrix over a period of time for an effective Self-Curing by maintaining sufficient moisture inside the concrete mass. Different types of LWAs are used for this purpose. The available literature indicates that sintered fly ash LWAs are used to produce non-structural and structural lightweight concrete; but their utilization for internal curing is not found. In this experimental work, feasibility of 4 to 8 mm spherical sintered fly ash LWA to act as an effective Self-Curing agent was assessed through various tests. Scanning Electron Microscopy revealed that LWAs were porous enough to hold sufficient amount of water. Higher specific gravity as compared to that of other types of LWAs made it desirable material from strength and density point of view. Higher water absorption rate within initial 30 minutes reflected it’s better desorption behaviour; highly desirable for an effective internal curing. Oven-dried LWAs were immersed in blue ink for 24 hours and then placed in a white cement paste. The thick blue ink corona around LWA confirmed about better desorption. This is not true of every type of LWA. Cement-sand mortar cubes were cast by volumetrically replacing sand by 10%, 15% and 20% prewetted LWAs for compressive strength tests at 3, 7 and 28 days. Prewetting was done for 24 hours and 72 hours. Conventional mortar cubes were placed under water; prewetted LWA-incorporated specimens were placed inside laboratory in an open air and directly under the sun. Conventional specimens exhibited highest strength values. Among Self-Curing specimens, 15% LWA cubes indicated maximum compressive strength; marginally less than that of water- cured cubes. 72-hour prewetted LWA cubes resulted in higher strengths as compared to that of 24 hour prewetted LWA cubes. Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity values for all the specimens were between 3.16 to 3.68 km/sec. The experimental results indicated that sintered fly ash LWA can be used as a potential material to produce Self-Curing concrete.
