Basaveshwar Engineering College Industry Institute Partnership Cell (BEC-IIPC)

Preamble:

In the post WTO regime. Both industries and institute are striving hard to increase their competitiveness with many hard to increase their competitiveness with many objectives in common. Despite this, it is surprising to see both the systems exhibiting a very little dependence on each other except between the large scale industries and the institute of Higher Technical Education like IISc. IITs etc. The interaction between the majorities of medium/small-scale industries and the Engineering college/polytechnics is virtually non- existent resulting in the delay of exploitation of our national resources to the fullest extent.

Today, it is globally acclaimed that scientific and technological capability of Human Resource is the major source of strength in nation building. Consequently, the success of any industry depends very much on the quality of the people who work for them. Particularly, in the context of medium/ small-scale industries, the needs are primarily oriented towards problem solving, with the support required in the areas of Design, Process improvement and plant and machinery performance etc., which can be fulfilled by the existing huge network of technical industries across the country. These institutes can be also intervene in solving specific industry related problems, carry out minor Technological Innovations/ Modifications aimed at Technology Absorption/Implementation etc, and organize Continuing education program for industry personnel. Industries in turn can contribute to academia in orienting its curriculum to produce Graduate Engineers/ Technicians suitable for their work places and support the basic research for creation of new knowledge.

The Basaveshwar Engineering College has setup an industry institute partnership Cell (BEC-IIPC) supported by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to promote the interaction between industries and the institute. This institute with more than four decades of expertise in imparting engineering education, has established many state of the art laboratories, testing equipment, library and information center, internet facility etc. Recently, World Bank took cognizance of this institute and recognized it as a Lead institute under Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP) for further excellence. Faculty members are actively involved in research activities cal University. Belgaum and various research projects are undertaken in these departments are supported by DST, CSIR, DRDO, AICTE etc.

Objectives:

1. Establish linkage between industry and the institute.
2. Identify industry problems and provide solutions
3. Joint research projects
4. Industrial consultancy
5. Dissemination of knowledge
6. Continuing education programs
7. Greater utilization of resources
8. Access to library and other infrastructure
9. Access to laboratory testing
10. Promoting industrial training for students
11. Faculty training in industry
12. Assistance incampus selections

Activities:

• Arranging industrial visits/ Training to students
• Mediating for laboratory testing facilities
• Providing professional consultancy
• Exchange of personnel
• Organizing industrial exhibitions
• Conducting seminars, workshops, continuing education programs etc.
• Technology appreciation programs
• Promoting participation of industry in building academic curricula
• Coalition group for mutual benefits
• Undertaking joint/long/short term R & D projects.

Basaveshwar Engineering College - Science and Technology Entrepreneurs Park(BEC-STEP)

Bagalkot district is located in northern part of Karnataka. The district has a strong agricultural base as three rivers pass through the region. The major crops grown are Jowar, Wheat, Turdal, Sugarcane, Cotton. Ground nut and Chillies. Fruits like Grapes, Pomegranate, Lemon, Sapota are also grown in considerable quantities. Recently, Government of Karnataka has identified Bagalkot as "Industrial Growth Centre" for Agro-based products. The region has a high concentration of handlooms and power looms. The products of these sectors are very popular. But due to the obsolete techniques and changing customer needs, the industry requires more reorientation The Bagalkot city and surrounding hundreds of villages are coming under submergence due to Upper Krishna Project. The city is being shifted to new planned township and rehabilitation centres are coming up for accomodating villagers. This has led to a large scale construction activities. Shortage of cost effective building materials and skilled labour is felt in this region.

BEC-STEP started its activities in 1998 and based on the local needs the following thrust areas have been identified:

THRUST AREAS

2. Preparation of fashion articles.
3. Technology ungradation in spinning mills.
4. Improvement in dyeing technique.
5. Development of new blends in fabrics.
6. Testing for yarn count, yarn strength and fabric strength to maintain the quality.
