The pride
of an engineer as a professional lies in the technological expertise
they possess. In the mission of creating skilled engineers rather
than mere engineering graduates, we train our students in the latest
technologies.
Being
specific to my department (CSE), I am very proud to tell that we
train our students in latest technologies related to Computer
Science. Apart from training, we also provide practical exposure to
the students by empowering them to implement industry relevant
projects. This helps to bridge the gap between the academia and the
industry.
All are
aware that Big-data is one of the latest technologies in Computer
Science. Now we are in information era and the growth of the
information is high. There should be a efficient way to analyze the
information available. This leads to the requirement of Bigdata
related technologies in the software industry.
When
most of the student community is not aware of the Bigdata we have
trained our final year students in Bigdata. Our students are familer
with Hadoop, Mapreduce, HDFS and Elasticsearch . They have done
their project in these latest technologies and are confident enough to do
any such project and learn latest technologies. Our staff members
Ms. V. Vidhya, AP/CSE and Mrs. R. Hema, AP/CSE learnt these technologies
and guided our students to complete the projects.
At this
moment, I would also like to thank Mr. Praveen Jesudhas, Big data
engineer, Tiger Analytics who guided us in learning these
technologies. He made us feel free to clarify any doubts through
phone and mail. Without his support it would have been a very tedious
task. This
type of training and student development pro-gramme are initiated,
guided and supported by the management of our college.
I am
very proud to tell that our students have presented their project in
an International Conference on Computer Science and Information
Technology (ICCIT'16). Now their project is under process to be
published in a journal named International Journal of Information
Research and Review.

Each day the mankind is
generating quintillions of data. These data arrive from sensors, social media
posts, digital cameras, mobile phones etc. These huge amount of data is highly
varied and complex in structure and therefore hard to analyze using traditional
computing methods. We call this as big data. Industries have understood that
analyzing this big data will give them valuable insights to develop their
businesses in various ways. Today Big Data has become the hottest topic among
industries. Data engineers are being offered most attractive salaries
now-a-days.
Having understood the
importance of Big Data concept the IEEE Student Branch of Annai Vailankanni
College of Engineering, Kanyakumari, decided to organize a one day hands on
workshop on Big Data technologies to the students. The workshop was conducted
on 28th August 2017. Eighty two students from various colleges
participated in this workshop. Praveen Jesudhas, Senior Data Engineer from Tiger
Analytics, Chennai provided hands on training to the attendees. The workshop
was convened by Mr. G. Gaswin Kastro, HOD/ECE & IEEE SB Counselor and Mr.
Pearlson David, Assistant Professor, Mechanical Department.
