Department of Metallurgy is hosting a 5-day seminar on Materials and Metallurgy to introduce the concepts to teachers of Mechanical Department who have to teach this as a new subject to their students under the new curriculum. I believe the system of introducing new subjects every semester is rather good, because teachers are learnign more and more everyday. Updation of knowledge becomes a necessary part of one's career and such training programmes come in handy. Teachers from the Salem Zone are participating in it. The seminar is being held at the swanky new seminar hall of the ECE Block. It is a self-contained hall and makes one feel proud of the facilities available there.

chitra I am curious. My random thoughts as follows. Why ur blogs are tinged with sarcasm(eg princi bed rest)? Why bashful about mentioning name of chief guest? Strange that metallurgy dept conducting courses for mech dept. why not EEE(or any other dept) conduct for mech faculty? At college level class room/lab coaching of English is not useful(unless the schools did not teach properly). Use of the language alone will improve the command. Informing parents- is it only for 1st year students? why not other classes? U have adroitly wriggled out of coaching the vocational student. Following online dictionaries may be helpful to students as it pronunciation also (and perhaps staff too)

Hi Karan a.ka.Nick, there is surely no attempt at sarcasm.Did not mention the Chief guest's name as one programme followed another and my poor old memory didn't really keep pace with it. Mmmm...yes...these programmes are inter-disciplinary. I'm sure you agree that some knowledge of everything is better than no knowledge at all. And yes, I shall pass on the web addresses to students. I use teachenglish.com and the Britich Council website for some info on language.
