Department of Applied Sciences-My Experience

Department of Applied Sciences at the NorthCap University offers B.Sc. (Mathematics (H), Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics with specialization in Data Science) and M.Sc. (Mathematics). Each and every faculty working in NCU has very rich experience and help students in every possible way. They help them find their weakness, strengths, interests and talents.

The concepts of mathematics can be made easier and enjoyable by taking real life examples and situations. Mathematics is not about number, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding. It provides us the power of thinking, the power of creativity, abstract or spatial thinking, critical thinking, and problem-solving ability.

Normally all the Technical education like Engineering, Commerce and Management has some part of mathematics in syllabus. So that student enhances their logical reasoning skills, aptitude skills. All the programs offered by the department are focused on the spectrum where brilliants are given scope and the average students are encouraged. Students also gets Scholarships based on merit cum means.

A person gets to understand his role, dreams and identity during college years to succeed in his life. One must not only focus on formal education but also real life experience and opportunities for overall development. A good atmosphere is one in which student feels the sense of belongingness, feel encouraged to tackle challenges, ask questions, trust others and take risks. A good and positive atmosphere is the most important factors affecting student learning. That environment is extremely important for students and for teachers for creating positive learning and a sense of success in and out of walls. It is also a connection between learning based on overall development.

We try to give a vision to promote and facilitate the knowledge and applicability of Mathematics in various fields. We also organize events, seminars and workshops every year to extend the scope of the mathematics and provide the students an opportunity to learn new things. That’s why the knowledge and education provided at NCU is beyond academics.

Our course structure is designed like that so that our students can become entrepreneurs, scientist, and academician in their fields. They are also able to clear the most competition exams easily. Most of our final year students get admission in IITs, IISERs, IISC etc. and premier Universities outside India.  Apart from the research jobs, students can also work or get jobs in Marketing, Business & other technical fields. The top jobs for mathematics graduate are actuary, data analyst, data scientist, statistician, game mathematician, programmer, cryptographer, aerospace mathematician, financial analyst and investment analyst.

At The NorthCap University students are recruited directly by big companies at good salary package. The job opportunities available for the students are not only great in terms of salary package, but also a satisfying job experience.

Industrial Internship: A Comprehensive Learning Platform

Industrial internship is a period when theoretical knowledge transforms into its practical applications. A good internship can shape the mindset of an individual about the upcoming technology as well as real world applications. Six months/six weeks training provide opportunities for both technical and non-technical profiles like working on live projects as well as working on company’s assignments related to learner’s ability. This further helps in polishing knowledge and overcoming self-limits that can divert them in an efficient way by adding skills required in industries for their career benefits and creative learning experiences. EECE Department  at The NorthCap University, Gurgaon provides us lot of Industrial Internships opportunities for us to explore and work with industry, thereby providing us the platform to shape our future.

Career path  

a.) Experience in industrial live projects can make students versatile and efficient for an extensive job hunt. 

b.) Industrial internship can make fresh learners more efficient in terms of manufacturing innovations with the help of experts of their field and make them industry ready.

c.) Sometimes industries give live projects with stipend to students on a trial basis for a particular period, turning them further in recruitments.   

Opportunities

There are large number of universities that have collaborations with various companies which hire students to work on their projects and assignments, thereby giving them a chance to provide a unique solution of a defined problem. It includes:

a.) Professionalism- An attitude of a person towards his/her work and towards people who are working with. Insight organisational working make freshers more disciplined and helps to understand work culture of professional environment. 

b.) Soft skills- To improvise their character and get a better personality, soft skill is very important for a learner. Presentation skills, report writing skills and workspace adaptability can explore career path and help them in gaining confidence.

c.) Learning- Hands on experience on projects can conclude the theoretical as well practical knowledge that helps in creative thinking for tackling real world challenges and discovering new applications. Students can test their own calibre and creativity.    

Internship is not only a comprehensive learning platform for freshers(learners), it also plays a vital role for companies as well. It teaches them to employ management and uncover young talent to their brand to expand their work ethics.

INFLUENCE OF INDUSTRY BASED PROJECT ON TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS

Having theoretical knowledge of any topic is the 50% part of any subject. Another 50% part of it can be gained through practical knowledge. This combination of technical knowledge is important for any engineering applications or implementation of problem-solving techniques. 

As a technical student, our University-The NorthCap University, Gurugram provides us the basic and advance theoretical and some practical knowledge of our subjects. However, with the help of industry based live project, we get an opportunity to apply our theoretical knowledge in real world problem. During practical applications we get to know about many factors which we have not learnt during our classes and which will have large impact on our project outcomes. The NorthCap University has number of collaborations with various industries and hence provides us support in getting live project opportunities in these industries. 

For a student with a technical background, the major takeover from an Industry based live project is “Experiential learning” or “Discovery learning”. Industry based project not only influence our technical development but also help in developing research experience for undergraduate.

• It motivates us to face challenges and find solutions of any problem, to research and resolve the issues for a fruitful output.
• Most important it uses 21st century 4C skill viz a viz Critical thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity skill.

Industry based live project provide us the opportunity to interact with the experts, mirroring what professional do, the way professionals execute their project and many more. Some basic skills that are enhanced by doing industry project are: - 

Thinking and Understanding skill: Understanding the basics of the project and data which needs to be worked on for further improvement. 

a) Try to figure out problem and their solution. 

b) Get to know about new technologies in the market and how market is influenced with the advancement in technology. 

Project Management skill: Working with the industry professional help us to learn: 

a) How to handle our project, manage our tasks and resources with time. 

b) How to identify whether moving in right direction or not, is there any more efficient way to solve any problem or what is the best way to solve a problem. 

Presentation skill: Presenting our project provides us an opportunity to polish our presentation skill. It: 

a) Improves our mind set regarding the ways to communicate with industry professional and outside world. 

b) Improve our communication skill, confidence level, leadership quality and ability to influence the people or group. 

c) The most important is that it helps in coordination, cooperation, and sense of responsibility. 

For most of us we learn best by explaining, examining, and experimenting with our project. As we know “we don’t learn to walk by following rules. we learn by doing …and by falling over”. 

Industry based live projects influence our technical development in such a way that it inspires and develop a lifelong learner in us and prepare us for the “real world” since that is naturally where our learning occurs.
