Background
College of Engineering Kidangoor has signed the MoU with state Govt. for participating in TEQIP
Phase-ll
in
December, 2011. under sub component 1.1. The objective
strengthen engineering institutions
to improve the
competencies
of this component is to
of undergraduates.
Since then
through the collective efforts all the stake holders the institution have been striving to implement the
project so as to achieve targets as envisaged in the lnstitutional Development proposal (lDP) which
aims at the all round development of the institution. Board of Governors'(BoG) of the college headed
by Dr. P Ven kita naraya
na
n, Prof in Mechanical engineering, llT Kanpur and has eminent experts from
industry and academia provides inspirational leadership for the project. The college is mentored by
former Director of Technical education and eminent academician Dr. S.K. Mohan. The project in the
college is driven by the TEQIP team under the capable leadership of our Principal Dr. Roobin V
Varghese.
During the review meeting held at Trivandrum on LL/O4lt3 the principal has pointed out
as per
that
the approved IDP the project allocation is 5.52 Crore. The college as on 3L/O3/L3 has achieved
total cumulative expenditure of Rs.120.75 Lakhs and committed expenditure of 100.03 Lakhs out of
a
Rs.
200 Lakhs released as first instalment project assistance. The principal, based on the progress achieved
by the institution on implementing the project, requested the review committee
to
recommend
maximum allocation of project assistance and the committee advised the institution to prepare and
submit a revised IDP with the approval of the BoG.
TEQIP has given
the faculty of the college a large platform to interact with a large community of
academicians and thereby the possibilities of exploring a higher dimensional growth model, which are
presently envisaged by the institution. ln the revision, primary focus is given
for starting PG
programmes for each department as in the changed educational environment postgraduate education
is a must for quality education. The earlier IDP with net budget of 6.52 Crores is not sufficient for
achieving this objective. This revised proposal has been prepared based on a SWOT analysis and
Training Need Analysis conducted in the institution. ln linkage with the findings of SWOT analysis and
Training need analysis a stratdgic plan is prepared.

o
Objectives of the revlsed IDP:
Two P.G progmmmes stdrted, becoming d centre of excellence
As per the National Knowledge Commission Report, the capacity of PG education in engineering
needs
to be tripled. The institution has already started two new
PG
programs as mentioned above and
is planning to start P.G programmes in all the leading branches. Details of P.G programmes to be
started are shown in section 2.6. New laboratories have to be established to facilitate smooth running
of these courses. This necessitates additional requirement of funds and revision of lDP.
The
procurement plan in the revised IDP is formulated to facilitate setting up of Labs, seminar hall etc for
new P.G programmes.
.
.
To
support Civil Engineering progromme due to late inclusion in the project
Civil Engineering programme started in the year 2010 was not included in the institutional
development proposal submitted in 2009. With the permission of BoG, Civil Engineering programme
'was also included in the project later. The basic lab faciliiies has been set up for running the course and
up gradation labs is to be done. This necessitates additional requirement of funds and revision of IDP.
.
Nurturing the institution in to o centre of excellence
As one of
of
the main objective of the project, the aim is to develop the institution in to a centre
excellence by comprehensively improving
the various components of the system like the
infrastructure facilities, human resources and work culture and by enhancing and sustaining the
academic quality. There is a need for upgrading research facilities of the institution so as to nurture a
research culture.
.
Networking with other institutions
Netvvorking with other- institutions was intended
to provide mutual assistance and accordingly
derived as one of the major objectives of the lDP. This can be achieved by sharing infrastructure and

SWOT Analysis:
of
SWOT Analysis, Strategic Plan and Key Activities
An intermediate internal SWOT Analysis of the institution has been conducted with an aim to
make a comprehensive analysis of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats after partial
implementation of TEQIP-ll so as
to
enhance its scope of activities and meeting the challenges of
future. Recent Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis and a strategic plan
for the development of College of Engineering Kidangoor is presented in this section. The SWOT
analysis is based on internal self-studies and a number of surveys carried out
to determine views of
various constituencies. Strategic objectives are developed into strategies and actions
to
address
weaknesses and threats by effectively leveraging the strengths and opportunities. An operational plan
is developed, which includes specific actions, a timeline for relevant activities, those responsible to
implement them, required resources as well as success metrics to determine the level of achievement.
The TEQIP committee was given with the mandate of preparing a strategic plan for the college,
which could guide the college activities duqing the project duration. The committee was also charged
to
evaluate
the
achievements
of the past five years based on the
previous strategic plan.
Simultaneously, the TEQIP Committee has been working on developing a SWOT analysis. The main
purpose of this analysis was to complement the strategic planning activities and to help in establishing
strategic objectives.
ln carrying out the SWOT analysis a balanced approach has been adopted so that the views of
all constituencies are included. The assessment of strengths and weaknesses are facilitated through
surveys, focus groups, tangible evidences provided by individual faculty and administrators.
lt
is
recognized that different perceptions may exist depending on the representative group consulted.
Therefore, considerable effort has been spent to reconfirm the identified strengths and weaknesses.
The external look
to identify opportunities and threats is considered complimentary to the internal
self-study in the SWOT analysis. National and regional influences and concerns are of paramount
importance when deciding the strategies and actions to address the weaknesses. Though no formal
survey has been conducted to identify the opportunities and threats, group brainstorming, extensive

2.6 Proposed P.G programs
2.6.1 Applied
Electr6nics and lnstrumentation (under Electronics and lnstrurhentation department)
Department of Electronics and lnstrumentation has identified its thrust areas as Automation &
Control and Nonconventional Energy Sources. Also Department committee decided to propose
PG
programme in Applied Electronics and lnstrumentation as this branch covers thrust areas. Among the
9 regular faculties seven has taken M.Tech in relevant discipline of proposed
some of these faculties are planning
to do their
P.hD Electronics
or
PG programme . Also
lnstru mentation. Two faculty
members are already registered for P.hD in Electronics. As we are having Process Control Station and
Labview software in UG level it will not be a burden to conduct a PG programme in this area.
Scope and Objective Applied Electronics and
lnstrumentation
The primary focus of applied electronics & instrumentation engineering is the development and
implementation of electrical and electronic instruments for the purpose of measuring, monitoring, and
recording physical phenomena. Among many other types of instruments, instrumentation engineers
develop seismic sensors, blood glucose sensors, fire detectors, and amperemeters.
lnstruments developed by applied electronics
& instrumentation engineers include
analog,
digital, and mixed signal electronic devices. Major users of these instruments include industries that
rely on automated processes, such as chemical and manufacturing plants. They depend on these
devices for safety, and for improving productivity and reliability. A very large field of work is also
offered in biomedical engineering, and in metrology (the discipline that provides devices for technical
measurements).
The scope of applied electronics & instrumentation engineering is vast, and appears
to
be
growing, in part due to the increased use of automatic control in manufacturing and process plants.
Growth is also tied to the development of more accurate and more robust sensors, which allow us to
detect phenomena of interest (such as the presence of minute levels of toxins in food) with much
higher precision than what we could do a generation ago.

The Applied Electronics and lnstrumentation curriculum includes courses on the design of
analog and digital electronic devices used for measurement and control of parameters such as flow,
pressure, temperature, and level, and the calibration of such instruments. Students learn
microcontrollers, and
to
design and implement communication networks composed
to program
of
sensors,
actuators, and programmable logic controllers (PLC).
The Applied Electronics and lnstru mentation, is most popular in lndia. The demand for Applied
Electronics is growing rapidly and job opportunities for graduates are multi-faceted. The graduates can
work as Manufacturing Engineers in [multi-national corporations] like Sony, LG, Samsung, and Philips,
as quality
controllers, research, design & development consultants, and entrepreneurs.
The field of Applied Electronics and lnstrumentation Engineering is growing at a very fast pace.
Over the past three decades the field of instrumentation has seen an extremely widespread application
in almost all discipline of engineering e.g., mining & metallurgy, robotics, textile, rolling mills, cranes &
hoists, arc furnaces, chemical engineering, process control, and static relays.
Objectives
The primary objective
of the post graduate programs in
Applied Electronics
and
lnstrumentation is to provide high caliber engineers and scientists who can analyze, design, test
and implement advanced control systems, intelligent instrumentation, and automation
solutions
for
industrial systems
in
areas such as petrochemical, steel, food industry,
pharmaceuticals, military, and power systems . This program emphasizes both the theoretical
aspects as well as the practical aspects to meet the challenges of fast pace of the technological
changes, and it is tailored to foster multi-disciplinary research.
To create a Department for higher technical education dedicated to the cause of developing
professional with high sense of ethic values and commitment to the society, where the student
shall realize their potential and learn to be future Torch Bearers of evolving technologies
through inculcation of proper attitude,
appropriation of tradition and heritage. To provide
quality education, research, training and practical expertise that is stimulating and responsive
to the needs of 21st Century.

SCOPE
Almost all process and manufacturing industry such as steel, oil, petrochemical, power and
defence producti6n will have a separate instrumentation department, which is manned and managed
by instrumentation engineers. "Automation is the buzz word in process industry, and automation is the
core job of instrumentation engineers. Hence, the demand for instrumentation will always be there,".
The growth in the avionics, aeronautical and space science sectors has also increased the scope
for instrumentation engineers. lnstrumentation engineers can also fit in both software and hardware
sectors.
Apart from covering core subjects such as system dynamics, industrial instrumentation and
process control, analytical and bio-medical instrumentation and robotics, the students deal with
software and hardware topics such as microprocessor and micro controller based instru mentation,
VLSI and embedded system designs,
computer architecture and organisation and computer control of
processes. Computer packages such as Matlab, Lab view and Pspice part of the curriculum. This makes
an instrumentation engineer
fit for both the hardware and the software industry. The demand is so
high that every student finds at least two jobs waiting in the wings, by the time he or she complet€s
her course.
Nature of work of an instrumentation engineer ranges from designing, developing, installing,
to monitor and control machinery and processes. The shift
sector is not only due to the opportunity to showcase ones creative talent and
managing equipments that are used
towards core
knowledge, but also because of the long term stability and quick growth. Bio-medical is another area
that
is
fast catching up and there is huge requirement for instrumentation professionals.

technologies and lndia being the hub in this sphere, the present situation has created much larger
avenues of education and training. To meet the existing demand, a large number

financing institutions were established in the country in the last ten years, mostly catering
to
lT
industry which has now reached a saturation point and creating the problem of sustenance of these
institutions. The management of private institutions lacked vision and expertise to adjust their
curriculum to suit the changing needs efficiently and effectively an hence are unable to maintain world
standards in education. The Government institutions on the other hand, have so far survived due to
public support. The institutions can no longer survive with obsolete knowledge among teachers, old
curricula, obsolescence in the Iaboratories and workshops and wide spread indifference to the need of
the industry.
One of the other major off shoots of globalization is the rising prosperity and reach of world
media even in middle class homes creating awareness and demand for the latest technology among
the consumers in every field and consequently forcing he industry to provide the latest. The need for
skilled manpower to cater to the changing technological needs is attracting multinational companies
to
invest in the country. Along with sound technological skills, today's technocrats need sound
to survive. The ability to take tough decisions, be motivating team leader,
understanding the market behaviour and orienting it to his/her advantage are some of the key
attributes of successful ,.n.U"*.
management skills
Earlier the attraction for technical graduates was to join the industry at a premium salary but
now due to voluminous growth of lnstitutions in private sector, the private sector itself is attracting
teachers on lucrative salaries. The shortage and lack of training and attention to overall growth of
teachers
is exerting enormous pressure on the educational delivery system to meet
quality
benchmarks, largely because the majority of teachers themselves are not familiar with the latest. This
factor is adversely affecting knowledge and skill acquisition by students thereby lowering their
employability (only 25%
at present). The performance and accountability of teachers should be
enforced. The learning is focused towards mere passing examinations. Significant efforts are not
made to develop, either self-learning skills or industry needed "soft skills". With a good undergraduate
education only, one can concqive the production of high quality postgraduates and researchers.
ln spite of above factors technical education system in the country is growing and many new
teachers are joining the system. Efforts are required to be made to attract better quality of teachers to

the system and retain them by providing motivational inputs such as better working conditions, growth
opportunities, acquiring higher qualifications, cultivation of research culture and linking them with
industries. A scenario is to be created such that the institutionalfaculty own technology development
not merely remain as teachers of borrowed technology.
lnnovdtion, lntellectudl Competition ond Entrepreneurship:
lnnovation, intellectual competition and entrepreneurship are almost totally absent even in
many good institutions, as these are not considered integral part of the curriculum and training of
young graduates and postgraduates. lnnovation demands intellectual challenge that is rarely put
before the students. Even conversion of a research result to a useful product needs specialized skills
that require not only nurturing and fostering but also training and repeated exposures to "learning
from failures". While the graduates and postgraduate students are transient and disappear from the
scene after receiving their respective degrees, there
is no institutional mechanism to convert
innovative ideas generated by outgoing students into useful products. Most of the institutions are
seasonably equipped
to handle UG programs. The focus of the project is to promote PG and
education, faculty quality and faculty research culture. Teachers need
to
PhD
be given flexibility to
apportion their time between teaching and research. The main objectives of the TEQIP are to bring
about lnstitutional development through academic excellence, organisational
development,
networking with other institutions and service to Community and lndustry. lt therefore provides a
unique and welcome opportunity
to
help
it
move in these directions and provide the necessary
structural reforms and policy climate to allow it to do so.
ln a world of increasing interdependence, individual excellence must be replaced by collective
excellence and leadership becomes an act of service by which the talents and potentials resident in the
network of institutions are encouraged and stimulated to find their expression in coherent collective
action. This is the role that College of Engineering Kidangoor sees for itself, which this project will help
it to fully embrace, in full awareness of the responsibilities and challenges that such leadership entails.
This lnstitutional Development plan will help it make the transition from individual excellence
to collective excellence by fostering in it the special leadership qualities that this entails.

Participation of Departments/Faculty in the IDP Preparation
College management promoted
the participation of academic communities in the preparation
of IDO since they recognized the value of the experience'and knowledge of academics in the various
aspects of the institutional dynamic and that as a result of their participation, the concrete products
planning may have a greater conceptual wealth. As well,
it
of
is assurned that the participation of
teachers in these processes can promote other, added values, such as the generation of a sense of coresponsibility for the actions outlined in the lDP, an increase in the institution's ability to promote an
academic leadership distributed throughout the institution, a greater possibility for implementing the
actions contained in a IDP in an effective manner and a greater commitment and identity with
institution, its mission and its developmental perspective.
For better integration
of plans of individual departments in support of the
lnstitutional
Development Plan, a one-day Strategic Planning Workshop chaired by the Principal and led by the
TEQIP coordinator
was held in the college. At the workshop, all the Department Heads and
Administrative Unit Heads participated and presented their strategic plans
for
discussions and
feedback. Views on the strategic objectives of the lnstitution were also exchanged. Subsequent to the
Workshop, participants also initiated similar workshop sessions within their own faculty, department
or administrative unit as a follow-up.
Strategic planning will be an ongoing, open and participatory process involving BoG, faculty and
staff of the College. The Strategic Planning Committee, under leadership of the Principal, will review
the plan at least annually, ensuring consistency between the Departments and the lnstitution. ln
conjunction with this, the Committee also will review annual progress reports from the College,
departments and research units. ln addition, the Committee will propose modifications to the College
plan, including annual priority tasks and will carry such proposals through appropriate faculty approval
stages.

lnstitutional Project lmplementation Arrangements with Participation of Faculty and Staff
Primary responsibility for overall implementation of the College Strategic Plan lies with the
'Principal. The Principal will, in consultation with the BoG, College Council and appropriate faculty
members or representatives, make resource decisions that are consistent with the
plan.
Strategic
planning will be an ongoing, open and participatory process involving faculty and staff of the College.
The Strategic Planning Committee, under leadership of the Principal, will review the plan at last
annually, ensuring consistency between the Departments and the College. ln conjunction with this, the
Committee also will review annual progress reports from the College, departments and other units. ln
addition, the Committee will propose modifications to the College plan, including annual priority tasks
and will carry such proposals through appropriate faculty approval stages.
The Principal will prepare an annual progress report for the faculty and staff that includes
a
comparative summary to prescribed plan metrics. Within the institution, action groups were formed
for carrying out various action plans and for monitoring purposes, to divide the responsibility and to
ensure proper implementaiion of the programme. Regular discussions may be worked out for all
groups to meet and evaluate the progress on monthly basis.

foreseeable future, regardless of any project implementation. The TEQIP project provides
a
significant boost in these strategic directions and introduces of reinforces several streams of activity
which include:
An educational program
A networking program
An outreach program
An organisational development program
College
of Engineering Kidangoor is confident that each one of these streams of activity will
be
sustained and even expanded beyond the life of the project. However, the sustainability of each one
of them activity depends on different parameters and strategies, as briefly discussed below.
a)
Educational Program
The sustainability of educational excellence implies the continuation of effective teaching and
learning practices that will have been acquired during this project. lt requires, specifically that faculty
continue
to adopt improved educational
practices and instituting a pe?manent system of quality
control and improvement in teaching. Here again, attention has been paid to systematic educational
training, the establishment of a performance evaluation system that takes teaching performance into
account and systematic processes of teaching improvement. Thus, continuous attention to teaching
improvement is likely to become part of the culture of the institution.
b)
Networking Program
While CEK has had and continues to have, many collaborative relationships, the idea of a formal
partnership with a network institution for quality improvement has been introduced to CEK by TEQIP.
c)
Outreach Program
The outreach program_.is dear to the hearts of many CEK faculty and is already sustained by
their personal volunteer initiaiives. The net effect of this projact will be to create the necessary
structure to formalise, channel and support the high level of energy and commitment

communities and the non-formal sector and can only permanently increase the level of activity in this
area. The project will have been instrumental in creating new capacities, networks and relationships to
make CEK's action more coherent and effective.
lt
is also expected that the project will have given CEK'
the capacity to source private and government funds to sustain such activities.
d)
Organisational Development Program
The organisational development program is, by its very nature, a temporary activity, helping
to
shape a new organisational culture. Once established, systems and procedures will become part of the
organisational culture and will continue operating. Most system development efforts will occur during
the first two years of the project. CEK will therefore have three years to stabilise newly introduced
behaviours, until the next set of organisational challenges come along. But by then CEK will have
leaned a new skill of managed organisational change and become a dynamic learning organisation.
Commitment
to
change and comfort with change are more important than the systems being
introduced. lt
is
for this reason that the project design pays great attention to changing attitudes and
creating the right climate and dynamics for change in the first year of the prol'ect.
2.L3.2
Ensuring Adequate Fund Ftow
The prospects for financial sustainability, with adequate core funding from the government and
the right policy environment are good.
CEK
already has demonstrated its ability to generate funds
through student fees and other projects. The project will have improve CEK'S networking and public
relations capacity to generate funds. As mentioned above, CEK's capacity to generate project and
consultancy revenue also hinges on the quality the faculty that can be inducted during the period of
the project and its proper orientation and training.

lnformation related to special academic achievements of the institution
The college demonstrates excellence in providing quality education every academic
year. lt
is
rather a proud boast that our institution is giabbing university ranks in different streams of academid.
The number is getting higher and higher every year and it shows a posltive sign and motivates the
team
to
pursue
more. Though we do not
possess state-of-the-art infrastructure and ease in
accessibility to industries, we display a wide range of students with scholarship and articulation skill
every year.
ln 2010, there were 3 university ranks in Electronics & lnstrumentation Engineering, Electrical and
Electronics Engineering and lnformation Technology.

Engineering and lnformation Technology. MITR, an artificial intelligence enabled robot designed and
developed by our student Mr. Monu Cherian with the support of the faculty snatched special attention
of the country. He could win many awards and appreciations from many pioneering technology
institutes in the nation like llT and NlTs. The transition rate from first year to second year improved
from
3Oo/o
at the time of commencement of project to 52/o at present. ln terms of results of first and
second semester results published
in
Cochin University
of
Science and Technology(CusAT) in
December 2013, college is ranked fourth among the 22nd Colleges under CUSAT.
Most of the faculties are products of top class engineering colleges of the states and they are
still counting their achievements in the academic paraphernalia through developing their carrer and
enhancing their knowledge set. This proves our throb, vigor and desire to conquer heights.
