NOBEL PRIZE of COMPUTING

The A.M. Turing Award sometimes referred to as the "Nobel Prize" of Computing, was named in honor of Alan Mathison Turing (1912–1954), a British mathematician logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist. Alan Turing made many advances in computer architecture, algorithms, formalization of computing, and artificial intelligence. He is also known as The Father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence

The ACM A.M. Turing Award is an annual prize given by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) to the one who is selected for contributions in a technical community of computing.  With this award a prize of $250,000 is given, with financial support provided by Intel and Google. Raj Reddy is the first person of Asian origin to receive the ACM Turing Award, in 1994 for his work in the field of artificial intelligence.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF ALAN TURING:

• During World War II, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Britain's code breaking center. He used a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers (encrypted text), including the method of the bomb.
• He created one of the first designs for a stored-program computer.
•  He also joined Max Newman's Computing Laboratory at Manchester University and developed the Manchester computers.

On 23^rd June 2012, 100^th birthday of Alan Turing was celebrated. 

CLOUD COMPUTING: MAKE IT EASIER TO SHARE

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources such as hardware and software that are delivered as a service over a network. 

Cloud Computing has emerged as a big solution for real world environment which involved with traditional web hosting and computing solutions . Cloud Computing across the globe describes delivery of hosted services through internet. People are shifting their business applications from traditional software models to the mighty clouds.

Cloud Computing prove to be cheaper and advantageous for the college and school authorities. Colleges and schools can  go with cloud computing to enhance the class’s learning experience by providing virtual classrooms with the audio-visual aids. This will help the students to retain the knowledge for longer. Cloud Computing is also beneficial for teachers as they can upload their class notes, assessments etc  on cloud  and the students can directly download them.

Cloud Computing makes it easier for students to manage and share their data on web. Students can  put their  files in the cloud and  can work on them whenever and wherever they want. Team work can also get easier through Cloud computing as they  can share  updated  document in team. Students can use cloud computing to complete the group projects assigned to them without being physically together.

“Cloud is about how you do computing, not where you do computing”

 Cloud Computing offers exciting technology solutions and this will surely enhance student’s productivity in an appealing way.

Leading Career with PSU

Today youth are more focused and selective in seeking a good job that leads to a successful and a satisfying career. One that not only give you a busy and rich life but also fun and relax. There are so many career options one of them is PSU (Public Sector Undertakings). It can give an opportunity to meet the ambitions of coming generation.

Students must first decide their aim whether they want to opt a public sector job or a private sector job. For those students who have a keen interest in public sector jobs can go for this best choice.

Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) is termed as a government-owned organization. On the other hand it refers to economic and social activities undertaken by public authorities. The enterprises in public sector are set up with the main aim of protecting public interest. There are so many organizations that are under PSU’s. It depends upon your interest in which field you want to go. One of the greatest advantage is that final year student can also go for this.

For this you have to appear in three stages:

a)      Written Examination

b)      Interview and GD

c)       Medical Examination

Apart from this each organization is having its own different selection Criteria’s like from GATE score card, B.Tech % or depends on the experience skills also.

The syllabus of these exams is subset of GATE examination so all students should study well their core subjects and keep checking the sites of PSU for latest updates.  

Industrial Training: A way to Explore

Industrial Training is an integral part of engineering curriculum. In the race of globalization, It is essential for engineering students to get industrial exposure so that they can mould themselves according to real business environment. Industrial Training provides them a platform where they can explore and learn new trends and technologies and can also testify their skills and caliber.

In today’s competitive world it has become very much important for learners to execute their learning in specifically modeled training program. Training not only covers technical aspects but also combine team building, communications, motivation and planning. The industry can also provide career opportunities to students who excels in their training program.  Industrial training gives ample opportunity for interaction between technical institutions, industry and academics.

How to choose?

To choose a Industry, Is the most difficult step of Industrial Training Program.  Students should consider their area of interest and their course curriculum before going for an industry. A student should visit company’s website thoroughly and get details about company’s services. Feedback about industries can also help him in choosing the right  place.

Training provides the students an appropriate path that leads them to a successful and satisfying carrier.

“You are your greatest asset. Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming, and encouraging your greatest asset.”  So all the best and wish you a great carrier ahead.

Industry- Institute Partnership

Better interaction between technical institutions and industries is the need of global economy. This provides exposure of industrial atmosphere to students and also subsequent placement in industries across the country. This Interaction also enhances Knowledge sharing of latest Technology.  With the advent of globalization and opening up the Indian economy to outside world, competitions among industries have become stiff. To solve their problems they took up now to technical institutions. Industries also try to increase the employability of the students and to prepare the students to meet the expectation of the industries. To achieve these objectives, Apex Group of Institutions has made meaningful efforts in bridging this gap between industry and academic institutes.

Apex Group of Institutions is proud to be member of MICROSOFT IT ACADEMY, MSDN AA and TECHNET.APEX group also feels proud with its new collaboration to HP EDUCATION SERVICES.

To promote industry- Institute Interaction, Apex Group of Institutions have undertaken the following steps.

·         Establishment of industry- Institute partnership/Interaction Cells.

·         Organizing workshops, conferencing and symposia with joint participation of faculty and industries.

·      Joint Research Programme and Field Studies by Faculty and People from Industries.

·    Visit of Faculty to Industry for study and discussion or delivering lecture on subjects of mutual      interest.

·         Human Resource Management   by Faculty and People from Industries.

·         Practical Training of Students In Industry.

·       Memoranda of Understanding between the Institute and industry to bring the two sides emotionally and strategically closer.

·         Strong Alumni Association which helps in exploring new job opportunities.

·   Training programs are organized by inviting eminent speakers from the industries.
