Govt. of India supports its
Electronics and ICT Academies to organize Faculty Development Programme on
Introduction to Data Structure and Programming in C during July 1 – 10, 2017 at
IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, IIITDM Jabalpur, MNIT Jaipur, NIT Patna and NIT Warangal
Preamble: “Electronics & ICT Academy” is an initiative of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Govt of India, set up at some selected institutes in India. Such academies at IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, IIIT Jabalpur, MNIT Jaipur, NIT Patna and NIT Warangal are jointly organizing a Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on Introduction to Data Structures and Programming in C during July 1 – 10, 2017. Experts from IITs, NITs, IIITs and other premier institutes will deliver lectures through National Knowledge Network (NKN) and participants registered at any of the above stated institutes will interactively learn from these lectures. In addition, local course coordinators at respective institutes will take care of practical and practice sessions. Each E&ICT Academy is given with some jurisdiction states in India. Academies are established with the major objectives of offering faculty development programmes in fundamental and emerging areas of Computer Science, Electronics, Information & Communication Technologies and IT based Product Design; training & consultancy services for Industry; Curriculum development for Industry; CEP for working professionals; Advice and support for technical incubation and entrepreneurial activities.
About the Faculty Development Programme (FDP) in Introduction to Data Structures and Programming in C:This course provides a fast-paced introduction to Data Structures and programming in C language. The objective of the course is to train participants design, write, and analyze the performance of C programs that handle structured data and perform more complex tasks, typical of larger software projects including use of templates for modularity and reusability of codes. Though Data Structure course is widely offered through various modes, this FDP through NKN is organized with the objective of developing skills and pedagogy with deeper understanding and practical exposure to concepts in data structures and C programming language. Rich experience of the speakers at premier institutes will make the participants feel the difference.
Participants are encouraged to list their expectations in their e-mail to the Global Coordinator.
