Workshop on Invention Cycle

Posted on by achs

Invention Life Cycle Workshop, was held in IIMS college on 6th of September 2017. There were participants from two colleges, IIMS college and Kathford International College and as the instructor for the day we had Mr. Bibek Chaudhary, technical evangelist at BrainWorks Solution & Services.

After introduction, to begin with the session, we had been shuffled and divided into teams. Since there, were participants from two different colleges this shuffling became an opportunity for participants to meet new people.

To be very dejsive about the day, I would say our first task was deciding a name for our newly formed team and introducing ourselves with a word or a phrase. And then several other tasks followed, such as, pitching an innovation/solution, building a prototype through available resources, quickly drawing sketches of whatever comes to mind relating to a common topic, and building a spaghetti tower etc.

Overall, the workshop was focused on developing an entrepreneurial mindset among the participants and unlock opportunities. We learned several things such as problem-solving skills, time management, quick thinking, team work, resource utilization and most of all we learned to take advantage of factors both inside oneself and in the external environment to unlock one’s pathway to invention.

The workshop was unexpectedly fun as well. Our instructor as well as new friends from another college were so frank and coordinating. To me, it became a session which changed my thought and unclear meaning of entrepreneurship as well.

Now, let’s see what our friends have, to say about the day.

“After this workshop, I had effectively learned many things that I would usually learn in a long run. The learning atmosphere was very easy going with the sweet drop of instructor’s voice was very helpful and tuned me and all the students. After this workshop, I am looking entrepreneurs in a whole new view. The way the class was conducted where we ourselves became a simple example to an entrepreneur’s thinking technique. The best thing I had liked best was instructor’s ability to give different ways of doing a task while in the other hand we were learning teamwork and time management. I was very excited how the instructor pointed out each persons and groups potentiality in less time.”

  • Manjit Shakya , B.Sc.(hons)Computing , IIMS

“It was really fun and new experience, learned a lot about entrepreneurship and it was a good experience meeting new people.”

  • Saurav Maharjan, B.Sc(hons) Computing, IIMS

“The program was really exciting and fun to be in. I got to make new friends during the ream formation. And every task that I was assigned to do with my team I did it with full enthusiasm and team spirit. I learned a lot about efficient task management in a short period of time. I felt motivated and happy throughout the entire program.”

  • Rakshya KC, B.sc(hons) Computing, IIMS

In the end, we all really appreciated the effort put by the mentors in teaching us new ways and ideas in finding opportunities through the workshop.

UCSI University Is Malaysia’s Best Private University In The QS World University Rankings 2019

Posted on by achs

UCSI University is ranked as Malaysia’s best private university in the QS World University Rankings 2019, placing it in the top 2% of all universities in the world.

Ranked 481, UCSI is the only Malaysian private university in the top 500. This is the first time UCSI is featured in the QS World University Rankings – an annual exercise that ranks the world’s best universities.

Apart from UCSI and the nation’s five research universities, no other Malaysian institution made it to the top 500.

The latest milestone caps a memorable year for UCSI – one that also distinguished it as Asia’s fastest rising university (QS University Rankings: Asia 2018) and a global top 100 university for performing arts (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2018).

UCSI Vice-Chancellor and President Senior Professor Dato’ Dr Khalid Yusoff said that the University’s continued rise in global stature was a culmination of university-wide push for excellence and performance with specific strategies to reach-out and to reach-in, a commitment to synergise with the future for its students and staff, and the dedication and hard work of its staff and students in pursuing these ideals and aspirations.

“We welcome this development as it shows we are moving in the right direction,” he said. “All of us at UCSI have been working consistently to improve ourselves and I’d like to thank all UCSI staff and students for their efforts. Alhamdulillah.

“Our focus is to push UCSI further and higher. We are building the strengths of the University. Quality education is our priority and we want to be a standard bearer of thought leadership.”

Senior Professor Khalid also mused that UCSI’s position in the rankings showed that Malaysian universities could achieve marked improvement.

“The rankings prove that we can do it if we want to,” he added. “We can’t do it if we’ve already decided not to.

“UCSI shares the aspiration and takes up the challenge and responsibility of making Malaysia the regional hub of higher education.”

Over the years, UCSI has focused extensively on improving its research output, curriculum development and delivery, as well as industry partnerships. UCSI also works closely with the great universities around the world while working together with newer universities in the region.

It has elevated its engagement with the world’s best universities. UCSI students are annually selected by Harvard, Imperial College London, Chicago and Tsinghua and the University of Queensland for involvement in various research programmes in those universities.

Additionally, the University of Melbourne has arrangements for UCSI’s third year medical students to work for the Bachelor of Medical Sciences (Melb.) after one year of studies in Melbourne, indicating that Melbourne University recognises the three years of UCSI’s MD programme.

The students will then return to UCSI to complete their MD programme, graduating with two degrees from two universities.

The 21st century is undoubtedly a technology-dominated century. Everything happens with a click. The way we look, the way we act, the way we are, technology has infiltrated our lives in every possible way.  From basic to splendid, we have come a long way in efficiency. We have almost conquered the undoable, and we’re now looking forward to doing the unthinkable.

In fact, it is on a seemingly endless rise. There is a cut-throat competition of the Best IT colleges in Nepal, as well as  IT companies. It’s no wonder that thousands of students have gone into an IT enrollment spree. There is already an existing crowd of great minds with impressive tech-related degrees on hand. Who takes the brunt of this? All the IT engineers, a show of hands, please. It becomes a chain of chaotic supply-demand between Engineers and Opportunities. Striking a balance between qualification and satisfaction becomes a Herculean task, and even more so when pay is involved.

These are unique languages used for web development.

    Why?

This is a platform where one can combine technical capabilities with various other skills and can flourish brilliantly. There aren’t many IT colleges in Nepal which offer special courses for digital marketing, however there are quite a number os webinars, classes, and seminars on it. 

    Why?

    Digital Marketing is the current buzz in Nepal, and globally as well. On a daily basis, we come across hundreds of campaigns knowingly or unknowingly.

    Why?

    Nepal has become an extensive pool of Start-ups, and its scope is no longer understated. It’s an excellent opportunity for someone who has a unique idea, and wants to make a change. There have been many success stories of young entrepreneurs who have become global change-makers and leaders from their start-ups. The reason it ranks low on the list is due to the high risk factors involved.However, with right knowledge and research, this can be a huge triumph.

    Princi Koirala, CMO, Sr. Product Manager at Tootle, says, “There are challenges on every aspect. I would say don’t just get into it solely for the sake of all the hype around startups. There is so much more that is coming with it. “

Overall, the opportunities in Nepal are huge, and definitely increasing. IT is a field with tremendous potential, but there are a lot of factors that come into play when we talk about “Good Jobs”.
