Veltech Dr.RR & Dr.SR University attracts all the stakeholders primarily students from all the states and Union Territories of our country and reputed Multinational Companies for campus placement through its unique curriculum, which has been meticulously designed by involving industries, research organizations, international universities of repute and student employers. With his experience as practicing engineer and international exposure the President of the Veltech University Dr.R.Rangarajan realized the importance of industry involvement, and urged the senior professors to develop Outcomes Driven Practice Focused curriculum that necessitates the participation of industries in curriculum design and Teaching – Learning process. The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), followed in the university, provides flexibility to the students to change their programme of study at any time of their study. The programme structure consists of various course categories to cover the depth and breadth required for the programme and for the attainment of programme outcomes of the corresponding programme. Research Publications & Citations: Since the inception, Veltech University shows its uniqueness in research by publishing about 1492 Scopus indexed journals (h-index: 82), which are cited in 16973 documents. For the academic year 2016-17, the number of these journals sums up to 395. Funded Research Projects: The R&D division of Veltech University constantly strives to explore new frontiers and develop innovative solutions to current and future problems. The efforts of R&D are supported by funding from various agencies which sum up to 15.49Crore. Because of technological advancements and subsequent cultural changes, now days, bringing and retaining the engineering students in the conventional classrooms is a big challenge prevailed internationally. The solution, pronounced by the learning scientists, is Teaching-learning should be transformed as Learning by facilitation which happens in a space wherein students will learn actively with peers. Veltech University established seven such active learning spaces and faculty members have been facilitating students towards various methods of it. Teaching Developers Initiative (TDI) is a forum which has been functioning in our university to create an encompassing movement towards enhancing the teaching skills through faculty peer learning to fit themselves for Z-Gen students of 21st Century. Students stepping into our University would feel themselves as Student Engineers rather than Engineering Students from day one of their programme of study. The CDIO (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) initiative is an innovative educational framework founded by the world’s premier institutions with an aim of producing the next generation engineers. Veltech University has the privilege to be the First Member from India in Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) worldwide initiative with an aim to produce the next generation engineers by adopting CDIO Syllabus/Outcome Based Education/Flexible Choice Based Credit System. The CDIO engineering workspaces, established in the University as first of its kind in India, provide the real industry atmosphere to the students to support and encourage hands-on learning of product, process, and system building, disciplinary knowledge, and social learning and to perform all the duties of Professional Engineers during the entire programme of their study.
