Smart and Automated Campus

SSGMCE`s smart campus offers a variety of smart, technological solutions that add value to students' learning and their time on and off the campus. There are the cloud applications, complete infrastructure, network infrastructure behind, so that can make the e-learning operating smoothly. We have been using biometric devices, office 365, SIS, 3-tire data center for the use of engineering education and paperless office, online monitoring of solar power plant, use of fire and electrical Safety measures, movement sensor for on/off lights, use of dust less chock etc.

Project information

Biometric Devices
SSGMCE is the residential campus. As stated above it has 4 – boy’s hostels and 3 – girl’s hostels. The student’s safety is at most for the college. Therefore while entering or exit the college student hast to make entry in in/out register kept at the gates. College has two gates for entry and exit. If a student exits from one gate and enters from another gate there was an issue of getting proper information due to manual entry system as well as real-time information. To solve this problem we introduce the biometric solution. We have collected fingerprint and face information of all the hostellers. Two biometric machines installed on each of the gate (one for entry and one for exit)
We have Biomax’s N-BM200 Machine installed which has storage Capacity

Face Capacity

3000

Finger Capacity

10,000

Card Capacity

3000

Log Capacity

2,00,000

Features

  • High-Speed and Accurate Face Identification
  • Face, Good adaptation for dry, moist and rough fingerprints.
  • Fingerprint, Card, Password authentication
  • Supremely low Electric energy consumption.
  • Highly reliable and durable.
  • Comprehensive SDK is available for development and integration.

Currently, 300 girls' hostellers are using this system. They have to make an entry in the system by finger print scanner or face recognition, once they make an entry the text messages are sent to their parents’ registered mobile number, giving the information about their wards mobility.
Office 365 Education
Schools and colleges across the globe have closed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the biggest concerns for teachers is maintaining continuity in student engagement and tracking progress. To overcome this problem, online teaching methods are being used to ensure that students are receiving quality education. There are so many platforms available for online education, we choose Microsoft’s Office 365. It is one of the best platforms for online education because of the more number of apps available other than video conferencing. It is equipped with applications like-
  • Word
  • Excel
  • PowerPoint
  • OneNote
  • OneDrive
  • Outlook
  • Teams
  • SharePoint etc

Microsoft Office 365 is a complete package with ample cloud space. It gives us about 14 PB cloud space for free. Besides Word, Excel, PowerPoint, there are other apps like-
Microsoft Team
Microsoft Teams is a digital hub that brings conversations, content, assignments, and apps together in one place, letting teachers create vibrant learning environments. Build collaborative classrooms, connect in professional learning communities, and connect with colleagues—all from a single experience, and free to educators and students.

SIS (Student Information System)
Student Information System (SIS) is an in-house developed web-application, as per the requirement of SSGMCE. It is developed using PHP, Apache2, Mysql (All are open source software).
The stakeholders of the system are
  • Students
  • Teachers
  • Principal
  • Registrar
  • Dean Academics
  • Dean Examination

The processes in SIS are-

Admission Process

It is being used for online admissions for higher classes such as 2nd, 3rd and 4th year Engineering students as well as for ME and MBA students. The students are getting their required documents for their admission process in their own login. Also, the students are getting their fees payment receipt in their mail account. Students can view their status in their SIS login after the completion of admission process.

Attendance

The app is used for the recording of daily attendance. The text message for the absent students is sent to the Student and his parent’s registered mobile number. This makes aware the parent of their ward’s attendance in a class. The tabular information, subject wise, regarding attendance is also available in individual student’s login. It drastically reduces the use of paper.

Class Test Marks

The information about Class Test Marks is also available on individual student’s login. Also, the collective information of every Class Test is sent in form of a text message on the parents’ registered mobile number.

Leave Application for Students

The leave applicant is done by the student. This process is automated process done in following steps

  • Application submitted by student
  • Verified and forwarded by the respective teachers
  • Verified and forwarded by the Class-Counselor
  • Verified and forwarded by the HOD
  • Processed by Dean Academic

The track of complete process can be seen by the student. It drastically reduce the use of paper.

Internal Marks Processing

At end of every semester, the data collected during the semester get processed as per the rule provided by Dean Academics and Dean Examination.

Fees

Every student can get the detailed information regarding fees payment like how much to pay and how much he paid as well as he can get the information about any fees if outstanding.
