From the Desk of the Principal
Dear Readers,
I am happy to place on record today that SDMCET planned to
introduce quarterly e-News Letter, to bring the activities of the
Institution to the notice of all Faculty, Staff and Students in the
campus in particular and also to general public. This news letter
will be simultaneously put up in our website www.sdmcet.ac.in. It is also planned to inaugurate the 1st
Edition of the e-News Letter by our beloved Revered President, SDME Society, Dr. D. Veerendra Heggadeji
at our SDMCET Technical Exhibition Stall during SDM UTSAV’12 Inauguration at SDM College of Dental
Sciences & Hospital, Dharwad on 30th November 2012.
I feel, in practice, we normally take much care while planning and executing the Events and we will not give
much importance for recording the Events in chronological order.
I hope, the introduction of e-News
Letter will overcome this lapse and our e-News Letter will update all the activities of the SDMCET and will
reach all the Readers every quarter. This news letter will also provide a platform of inspiring and motivating
all the Students. Students, Faculty and Staff of the College to get involved in all academic and co curricular
pursuits and provide an awareness forum. It is also activates all of us to putforth and plan many innovative
and creative campus development activities.
At this juncture, I congratulate the Editorial Team consisting of Faculty & Staff for composing the first
edition of e-News Letter at the very shortest time and made it ready for Inauguration by our beloved
Revered President, today the Friday, 30th November 2012 at 11.00 AM. I Strongly Feel That This Quarterly
news letter will facilitate the easy composition/ compilation of huge data/happenings in the campus and
contributes to the site of centralized data. Also some of the highlights of events happened during my
takeover of SDMCET is briefed.
Wishing all the Best for the Efforts made and for perennial News Letter around SDMCET Campus to reach

Orthodontics department presented two papers
entitled 1. “Bioengineering for Customized
Orthodontic Applications – Implant, Bracket and
Dental Vibrator”, and 2.“Scope and Application of
Collaborative Tools and Digital Manufacturing in
Dentistry”. These two papers are original research
works aimed mainly to bridge the technological gap
between Engineering and Medical Sciences carried out as a part of collaborative and rapid manufacturing
strategy which could bring revolutionary approaches for reducing considerable amount of time of treatment
bringing smiles in patients as well as treating doctors.
These two paper presentations were performed in Session - II, at Hall A, chaired by Dr Marina Polyakova,

AROUND CAMPUS ACTIVITIES
A well-thought-out teaching evaluation leads key to good educational quality and
standard of efficiency- Dr. Sonde.
Whatever our judgment is about educational
evaluation, it is an important and integral part of the
total educational process. A well-thought-out
evaluation programme will certainly contribute to the
improvement of educational quality and standard of
efficiency, if it is effectively implemented, and
adequately and efficiently monitored by qualified
evaluators, said Dr. B S Sonde, former V C, Goa
University.
evaluation devices/instruments should be valid and
reliable. They are valid when they measure what they
aim to measure, and they are reliable when they
produce consistent results over time. The teacher as
an evaluator should be impartial as much as possible.
He should try to avoid personal prejudices.
Other various related topics like, panel
discussion
internal
assessment/
formative
assessment; end semester assessment/ summative
assessment and question paper quality; were
delivered by Dr. K Vasudeva Banninthaya, controller
of examination, RVCE, Bangalure, Dr. C G Puttappa,
controller of examination of MSRIT, Bangalore and Dr.
A. V Nandi, Controller of examination of BVBCET,

robots' plays an important role in the society is in a
capacity to assist humans by taking on the jobs that

robots have been instrumental in space exploration
and performing other tasks that would be impossible
for humans to accomplish the tasks.
Dr. S. Mohan Kumar also added that robotics is
already playing a very pivotal and cutting edge role in
diverse sectors such as manufacturing, avionics,
medicine, defense, automobile and entertainment
fields. As technology becomes increasingly important
in today's world, it is invaluable to not only learn how
to use technology, but also to understand how to
create it. Technology is the future and today's
students are tomorrow's technologists. He also added
various advanced concepts in robotics.
According to coordinator of the workshop Prof.
Rajashekhar patil, this kind of event is only one
among a series of programme to be organized in
connection with the creation and innovations of
development of self operating robot models which

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Road to success is never ending. It is always under construction.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Education has for its objective the formation of character.
It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to.
Reach for the stars, even if you have to stand on a cactus.
The power of the mind is your power, use it. Don't let it use you.
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
God cannot go everywhere. So he created mothers .
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Winner never quits, Quitter never wins.
Every person has a ability to improve the life of some one else.
Leadership is not about being nice it’s about being right and being strong.
Where there is no risk there can be no pride in achievement and consequently no happiness.
Think many ways, but go on one way.
