Industry Mentorship Program
The Industry Mentorship Program was organised by the Department of Computer Science in association with the ICT Academy on the 5th of November 2022. The event was aimed at the skill development of Computer Science Under Graduate students. It was hosted in the A1 auditorium of the Admin Block in the college. The resource persons were Mr. Vishnu Setty- Senior Product Marketing Manager, Mr. Ramesh Kumar M- Robotic Solution Architect, and Mr. Shashi Kumar P- Senior Tainer Honeywell India Team.

The session began with a briefing on skill development and how our skills help us to stand out by Prof Sevuga Pandian, Head Department of Computer Science. The topic was well explained and gave a detailed guide to enhancing and developing skills in various fields.

The speakers broke the stereotype of needing only degrees for attaining jobs and threw light on the importance of having skills.

It's not about what you have It's about how you use what you have.

Secondly, the topic of the session was Interview Skills and Resume writing which gave insights into how one can present oneself on the professional front. This topic was mostly like a to-do list that was laid out clearly cut to the students. Pros and cons, do’s and don’ts in an interview were established.  The concluding topic was Priorities and Goals- it helped to get a clear understanding of priorities when set right helping us work effectively to accomplish the goals.

All the speakers did an excellent job of teaching young mouldable minds to prioritize things in life, best learned earlier. Prioritising things is like the beam balance that helps the students to take decisions based on necessity and urgency.

So therefore it’s a tool that should be used shrewdly cause making the wrong things important can hit back in reverse mode.

As the students are on the brink of starting a professional journey this program was like a starter pack that had all the necessary information and tools that would be vital in the future.

In a fast-growing world where the only constant changes, we need first-hand experienced learning and this seminar did a great job at that.

Overall it was a much-needed, timely seminar that will eventually play major roles not just in the present but in the greater journey ahead in the future of the young lives of today.

Session II: Matrix, Dataframe, Importing data sets, Dr. Vennila J and Ms. Keerthi Vijayan
The second session of the workshop had begun with the topic “Matrices”, where we learned to create 2x2,3x3...etc. matrices in R, even though it was confusing at first the teachers present there helped us understand the concept. Then the topic “Formation of Data Set” was taken in which we learned to create a data set in R and it is one of my favorite topics as when we finish writing the code and press enter the satisfaction that comes after when the table is formed is something else. This concluded for the first day of R Programming Workshop. Then at last we had “Importing Data Sets” where we learned to import data sets from excel it sounds easier as it sounded but I had trouble in the importing part but soon I figured it out through our teacher's guidance and that was a relief with that we concluded with the second day of R programming workshop.

Session III: Descriptive statistics and Graphs, Ms. Keerthi Vijayan and Dr. Vinoth B
The third session of the workshop had begun with the topic “Bar Chart" where we learned to create a bar chart in R it was a nut to crack but it's when I remembered an important thing from first day is that R is variable sensitive when the given variable is not the same as the variable you have named then it won't process it, using that knowledge I learned this topic. After 2 attempts I was able to create the bar graph. Then we moved on to the topic “Pie Chart” where we learned to create a pie chart in R, I was able to get it in my 3rd try but the exciting thing I got to know last minute was that you apply any color you wanted, with that we concluded the third day of R programming workshop.

Session IV: Scatter Plot, Correlation and Regression, Ms. Liji Geroge and Dr. Vennila J The fourth session of the workshop had begun with the topic
“Multiple Line Chart” where we learned to plot multiple line chart in R, it was one of the hardest topics in R and still troubles me a bit but all the concepts are all understood. Then we moved on to” Scatter Plot” where we learned to plot a scatter diagram in R, Correlation and regression analysis with that we concluded the fourth day of R programming workshop.
