Having established as a leader in the field of information systems, e-learning and knowledge management systems areas, the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala (IIITM-K) is now a research Moving in embedded systems and micro-electronics.

As a first step in this direction, the Institute is the establishment of a system board and Laboratory would soon begin an online course for interested students, professionals KR Srivathsan, director. The laboratory was officially launched here in the technology park and today. The departure is carried out in close collaboration with Tata Elxi and Ushus Tech, Techno Park two companies have their headquarters here.

Once the laboratory is fully implemented IIITM-K is also the implementation of courses for industry and teachers Engineering College, in the line.

Embedded software development is growing increasingly attractive economic hub, according to Professor Srivathsan This led to a strong demand Embedded System developers. Unfortunately, there are very few institutions, the quality of education and skills training on key technologies such as embedded systems and VLSI.

IIITM-K will soon launch a full-credit courses on integrated systems and advanced networks for the name of its final batch of post-Graduate Diploma in Information Technology (PGDIT) students. An improved version of the same class, it is intended for working professionals in the industry, R & D and academic institutions of learning.

The programs have two objectives, the participants with a solid base of on-board technologies, systems and applications, industry-oriented “hands-on” Pra-ctical training. To achieve these objectives, the Institute has created a “progressive” facility “for education and industrial training and training in the field of embedded systems laboratory.

A concentrated on policy towards the marine engineering training in India is the need of the hour to strengthen the country’s position in the global maritime industry, after consulting experts.

The presence of people of Eastern Europe on the world market for seafarers and the increased availability of skilled labour from China and the Philippines are a threat to Inde’s dominant position in World Trade Maritime, Mr K. Saxena Brijendra of Tolani Maritime Institute, New Delhi, said in a document submitted to a recent seminar.

In addition, Myanmar has been a considerable number of young officers, and many companies in the Far region are very satisfied with their level of performance, “he said.

All of the increase in Chinese sailors in the last hour is 7.24 percent, while India is a modest increase of 3.21 percent. The number of the Russian crew in the category of officers has also shown an upward trend in the recent past.

Given all these things, Mr. Saxena pointed out that there should be a proper assessment of the activity of all our competitors in neighbouring countries likely to make changes to the current system.

A look closer on the vessels of technology education and training with the clear understanding of what’s happening in other countries, will certainly benefit from the maritime training in the country over the long term, he added .

According to him, the contribution of the Indian Navy engineers in the development of maritime industry in the world is commendable.

However, it is essential that this situation will probably continue and improve. A study by Wu Bin Seafarers International Research Centre, Cardiff University, says that 55 percent of Chinese sailors to work on foreign ships, he said.

Mr. Saxena also proposed a number of proposals to strengthen maritime training, given the excellent career prospects in the sector.

Sailors Engineering Institute should be compatible with the network of educational institutions in other disciplines, for necessary inputs.

Improved information should be considered in the market regarding the maritime industry and the real offer on board.

A selection method to ensure that students are selected. More industry of the Institute of interaction is necessary to understand the needs of each other.

Marine Engineering Training is an integral part of the maritime industry in India. Indian sailors, including engineers from the sea, is welcome to have the ship and ship management companies in the world and are regarded as efficient, reliable and ably and effectively.

Government policy allows private sector participation has resulted in the development of the supply of many institutes dedicated to 4 years of the Vessel fields of study.

India has a place among countries to provide labour, especially in the category of officers exhibitions. In order to maintain market share, said he should have a closer look on the training of seafarers.

Approva (R) Corporation, a leader in continuous monitoring of audit and control automation software, today announced that Usha Srikanth has Approva as Vice President of Product Engineering. Usha will focus on global companies in the areas of product development in Puna, India.
