Innovation activities

AITS Kadapa has created an ecosystem for promoting innovation, entrepreneurship and other initiatives like creation and transfer of knowledge by collaborative action of all departments in a multidisciplinary approach,

• As part of this initiative, technical symposiums termed as “SAMSLESHANA” were conducted every year as enthusiasm towards presentation of different trending topics results in innovation and its practice.
• Different entrepreneurship activities are conducted for nurturing innovative ideas from the students. An amount of 0.4 lakhs have been sanctioned by government of India as grants towards development of entrepreneurship.
• Faculty is encouraged to enhance their research activities and make publications in reputed journals.
• Some of the faculty members have published books which serve as textbooks for syllabus of few subjects as a part of initiative for knowledge creation and transfer.
• Few of the faculty has been selected to act as research supervisors by J.N.T.U Anantapur, Ananthapuramu and have patent publications.

The main aim of AITS Kadapa is to promote creative thinking of the students and utilize their innovative ideas for the benefit of society keeping in view of the importance of technology.

• With a combined action plan of all departments, every initiative to encourage the participation of students in various technical exhibitions is taken to nurture their technical expertise.
• Every year guest lectures, workshops, seminars and industrial visits were organized for students and faculty members.
• During the Covid-19 pandemic period webinars, quizzes in online mode were conducted to provide continuation of knowledge sharing.
• The role of AITS Kadapa is to develop a new approach to explore inter-disciplinary scenarios to achieve success in the innovation process.

The models prepared by Electrical and Electronics engineering students “Smart LEDs for smart city” and “Micro grid model” were selected as a best models for university level tech fest and was selected for state level project exhibition. Department of Mechanical engineering students have fabricated ‘Solar grass cutter’ without using any additional energy sources. By using bimetallic strip as sensor, engine exhaust heat from silencer of a vehicle is used to produce electrical energy, By using pulverized coal and Aluminium metal, hydrogen gas is produced which can be replaced by petrol. Hydrogen gas produced is stored in gas tank and a small engine is made to run. Electricity is generated using speed breakers. Based on gear pinion arrangement and flywheel rotation, power is generated. Vertical windmill is designed by mechanical engineering students which find its application to be installed on train bogie. The motto behind these projects is to make a way for increased use of renewable energy sources as conventional energy sources are depleting gradually. Students of AITS Kadapa are encouraged to do hardware technical projects as practical way of approach will be more registered in their minds resulting in more innovative thoughts. Full encouragement is given to students to depict their thoughts. As a part of promotion of research and development, relevant projects are done by students which ignite their minds such that their knowledge is invested for enhanced technical contribution resulting in benefit to society.
