Preamble

Vidya Prasarak Mandal (VPM), Thane has started an engineering college in

deeply rural area with state of art infrastructure sprawling over thirty seven acres of

land. I t i s o n the ve rge o f b ecomin g one of the best colleges in India. The

college is located at Velneshwar near Guhagar, Ratnagiri in the Konkan region. This

region is chosen in particular because of its high literacy rate of 75%-80% which is

highest as compared to Indian literacy rate of 65.4%. Contrarily, gross enrollment

ratio of this region is only 8% to 10% which is well below national average of 12.4%.

As a part of VPM we are proudly announce hosting of “SRUJAN” (creativity)

on 20th

& 21st 2013 for 11

th & 12

th level Science Students to motivate them for higher

studies in the field of Science & Technology and develop the research culture in

students of rural area. The main goal behind organizing this competition is to change

the view of our education society from the examination oriented education to

application oriented education. In achieving this SRUJAN will definitively provide a

platform to innovative and creative students from urban as well as rural area. The

competition will mainly emphasize on science and technology and its applications in

our day to day life. With publication of this manual we VPM‟s MPCOE cordially

invite you to participate in SRUJAN.

2. List of Organized Events

The goal behind inclusion of following event in this competition is to provide

innovation and creativity platform for science students:

This competition is divided in three different section. Students of junior college can

participate in any event or all

Section-I

Scientific Model Making

In model making student are requested to work on small projects in

group/team of 3 to 4 students. Student can select any topics from Physics, Chemistry,

and Computer Science. As an example we suggest you following topics. The projects

based on innovative ideas are more than welcome.

Physics:

Project 1: Title: Electricity from Lemons (Lemon battery)

Details: It is a very interesting and easy project to perform. Take one or more lemons

and pierce the electrodes and connect them in series along with ammeter. Press

thoroughly lemons for making juice presence inside as the electrodes will be coming

in contact with the electrolyte. You can see the deflection in the ammeter.

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_battery

Project 2: Title: Surface Tension Experiments

Details: Surface tension is one of water's most important properties. It is the reason

that water collects in drops, but it is also why water can travel up a plant stem, or get

to your cells through the smallest blood vessels. You can experiment with surface

tension using just a few household items.

Ref:http://www.hometrainingtools.com/experiments-with-water-science-

project/a/1272/

Project3: Title: Calcium Chloride As A Natural Dehumidifier

Details: For this project you can explain how the Calcium Chloride absorbs water.

What is the physical process taking place? And how well do other salts (such as table

salt) absorb water from the air?

Mathematics

1. Investigate the history of pi and the many ways in which it can be approximated.

- They are many methods by which we can approximate value of pi. You can

discuss any one form it.

2. The Parabolic Reflector Microphone is used at sporting events when you want to

be able to hear one person in a noisy area. Investigate this; explaining the

mathematics behind what is happening.

- A parabola has a focal point. The Parabolic Reflector gathers sound waves (lots

and lots) and directs them toward the focal point where the microphone

collects/converts the sounds waves into electrical signals. You can explain

Mathematics behind it

3. Develop a model based on Linear Programming Problem, for Ration shop. So as

to minimize wastage / loss / corruption

- Collect a data of a village. Form a objective function and constraint to give an

optimal solution.

4. Ecological survey „DEVARAI‟

- You can collect data on different parameters. Apply Mathematical / Statistical

techniques to analyses it. Explain the applicability of mathematical / statistical

techniques.

Chemistry

1. Bio Diesel:

Principle: Based on one of the principle of green chemistry, “Use of Renewable

Feedstock”.

As we have limited stock of petroleum oils we must focus on use of Renewable

Feedstock to prepare bio fuels. We can use any vegetable oil (or waste oil by

removing contaminants) or animal oil to prepare biodiesel by transesterification

process.

2. Preparation of Potash Alum:

Principle: Principle of “recycle and reuse” of material is used here.

We can prepare potash alum from waste Aluminum metal pieces. Potash alum is used

in papermaking, in fire extinguishers in food stuffs and in purification of water. It can

be prepared by treating Aluminum metal with aqueous KOH and then with aqueous

H2SO4.

Similarly you can prepare any useful chemical from waste materials/chemicals.

3. Purification of water:

Principle: Use any principle of chemistry to make your water suitable for drinking.

Processes like distillation, ion exchange, adsorption, absorption, filtration, osmosis,

electrolysis, etc. can be use and you can suggest any better one or combinations of

processes to make your water pure for drinking purpose.

Computer Science

1. Design calculator program using ‘C programming language’

With use of computer editor application how to develop instructions to operate

calculator operations for daily mathematical calculations

Editor name: turbo C

Application name: calculator in C

2. Design calculator program using ‘visual basic programming language’

With use of visualization editor application how to develop a user interface based

calculator with set of options addition, subtraction, multiplication and division &

write instructions to operate calculator operations with effective graphical user

interface based mathematical calculator.

Editor name: visual studio 2008

Application name: GUI based calculator

Section -II

Quiz Competition
