| DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY : FIELD VISITS |
- Field trip to United Breweries
|
| A field trip was organized for the TYBSc students to United Breweries, Taloja on 05.01.2013. The students were able to observe and learn the manufacture of beer right from the processing of raw material to the packaging process. United Breweries has its own effluent treatment plan and hence the students were also able to understand the steps involved in the effluent treatments. It was interesting to observe that the United Breweries laboratory has a well maintained garden which is irrigated by the treated water. |

- Field trip to Laboratory Nuclear Medicine Centre, BARC (T. M. H Annexe)
|
| The TYBSc students are expected to know the functioning and importance of certain instruments like Thermal Cycler, ELISA and ELISA Reader, RIA and maintenance of an animal tissue culture laboratory. Since these facilities were available at Laboratory Nuclear Medicine Centre, the students were taken on a visit there on 01.02.2013. Here the students received ?hands on? training and use of the above instruments. |

- Field trip to Bhide?s Laboratory, Marine Lines
|
| The MSc-I students are required to learn and understand the functioning of the Flow cytometer, Thermal Cycler and HPLC as a part of their curriculum. As all these facilities were available at Bhide?s laboratory, the students were taken on a visit to the Bhide?s laboratory. Due to the space constraints, students were accommodated in four batches. The students were given ?hands on training? on the use of above equipments. They were also exposed to the fully automated methods of collection, processing of samples and reporting of results |

| DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY : INDUSTRIAL VISIT |
| Students from the IT and Computer Science branches of M.Sc. and B.Sc. IT of the college went on an Industrial Visit to Chandigarh and Shimla from 29-Aug-12 to 4-Sep-12. The main purpose of this Industrial Visit was to learn more about the Information Technology Industry from Centre for Development for Advance Computing or C-DAC. |
| We visited C-DAC on 31-Aug after a short trip to the Rock Garden in Chandigarh. The Students attended a seminar on the history and operations of the company. C-DAC specializes in Electronics and Information technology. The company also offers advanced computer training to students and professionals. We toured the facilities of the company. |
| The first laboratory gave us helpful information about the Linux Operating System. The company has created its own distribution of Linux called Bharat Operating System Solutions (BOSS). An education oriented version of the distribution called EduBOSS has been deployed to many government schools across North India, which has resulted in significant cost savings for the schools. |
| C-DAC also elaborated on various features to make the operating system user friendly, including those that are not present in the Windows Operating System. Some of them include adding support for native Indian languages, to make it easier to use for Indian audiences. |
| Next, we were introduced to the Bioinformatics lab, where we were shown medical appliances and embedded systems designed and deployed by the company. Cyber security was the third lab we visited. Here we learned about how complex systems are built so that they can detect and prevent data theft and security breaches. |
| The visit was highly beneficial to us and we now have a much clearer idea of how to approach our projects. We also learned more about the professional environment that we will enter in the near future. |
| Once we completed our visit of C-DAC, we headed towards Shimla, which was the last leg of our tour. We enjoyed the local sights and shopping for two days. An excursion to Kufri was the highlight of the trip. Overall, we had a very enjoyable and educative experience. |
