A meeting was held in the Office of the Dean IP, at 10.20 am, Monday, 22nd July 2024, for discussions on possibilities for collaborating with NMSU on Hydroinformatics Course.
Members Present
Dr. Mahalakshmi, Dean of Sciences
Dr. Tabitha Durai, Dean, R & D
Dr. Samuel Rufus, Dean, International Programmes
Prof. Arun Kumar, Associate Dean of International Programmes
Dr. E. Rajkumar, Assistant Professor, Dept of Chemistry
Dr. Yasodharan Suresh, Assistant Professor, Dept of Geography
Dr. S.J. Samuel Justin, MMIP
Dr. M. Beutline, MMIP
Mr. Sabarinathan Murugan, Student Ambassador
The meeting began with a word of prayer.
Two verticals were presented in the meeting.
Vertical I – Students of any UG Programme get to do a Semester-Abroad in Water Science Management with NMSU, regardless of their Major.
Vertical II – Programme-wise selection, based on course mapping and credit transfer. However, a few members felt that, as regards hydroinformatics or water science management, only elective courses can be mapped.
Hence it was recommended that, Vertical I be pitched.
It was also suggested that students from NMSU can be invited for a Short-term International Interdisciplinary Internship (III) and/or for a Semester-Abroad Programme.
For both programmes, it was suggested that, one hour of spoken Tamil/ Culture / Cultural Immersion would be given to them each day of the duration of their course. The Departments of Tourism, History and Tamil could also be roped in for such an “III Course”, which would facilitate cultural immersion for the visitors, as well.
It was suggested that, based on Principal’s inputs, it
can be formally communicated to officials of NMSU resulting in MoUs between the
two institutions.
