NASA Achievement of ITS Engineering College

 

ITS Engineering College, Greater Noida affiliated to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University is one of the most advanced engineering colleges in India. With accreditations by NAAC & NBA and approved by AICTE, this institute has a bag full of achievements to boost on. And talking about achievements, what could be a bigger achievement than getting invited by NASA itself to participate in its Human Rover Challenge in 2020?

What is the challenge?

Every year NASA conducts a Human Explorer Rover challenge to engage students worldwide towards the next phase of human space exploration. The NASA Human Rover Challenge is a competition among students of selected schools and colleges worldwide to create rovers capable of traveling simulated surface of other planets. Its annual event is a more complex follow-up to NASA’s Great Moonbuggy Race.

What are the challenges for ITS Engineering College?

The NASA Human Rover Challenge is held at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. The major challenge for the students of ITS Engineering College is to design, construct, and also test the mobility devices to perform swiftly in different environments.

 

The students planned the course and strategy, and after various discussions, it is decided that a team of five students from ITS Engineering College will be responsible for designing and building their rover. And of them, two students, a male and a female will be chosen as the drivers of the human-powered rover that will have to cross a half-mile obstacle course of simulated extraterrestrial terrain of craters, boulders, ridges, inclines, crevasses and depressions.

 

This challenge will provide the students with valuable experiences in the technologies and concepts of future exploration missions.

NASA’s goal regarding this challenge

NASA’s Great Moonbuggy Race has engaged more than 10,000 students during its 20 years long run. It has brought out the talents of budding engineers and scientists greatly and has demonstrated that they are capable of carrying out complex works.

 

Now NASA’s Human Exploration Rover Challenge is taking these experiences to a higher level. They are giving authentic engineering experience by letting the student teams design, build and also test technologies that enable rovers to perform swiftly in a variety of environments. It inspires the students to become the next engineers to design NASA’s next-generation space systems.

Details about the competition

The engineering challenges that the students will face are motivated by the assignments of mission objective tasks that simulate real-time obstacles faced by different space missions like the Apollo 14 surface mission. The team of students will have to make real-time decisions about the missions they attempt or leave based on their virtual eight-minute supply of oxygen.

 

The competition requires two students, a male and a female to drive their rover through a terrain of about 0.50 miles that will include a simulated field of asteroid debris, boulders of about 5 to 15 inches, an ancient stream bed with pebbles of about 6 inches deep, and erosion ruts and crevasses of different widths and depths. The terrain and time requirements make it more challenging as the rover’s compactness, lightweight, high performance and efficiency will be thoroughly noticed.

 

Even before entering the course, the rover entries will be tested to see if they would fit into the lander equipment bay. The dimensions are clear, the rovers must be a maximum of 5 feet long, 5 feet tall and 5 feet in volume. The teams earn points by designing a lightweight rover, successfully assembling the rover in the allotted time, performing tasks throughout the mission, successfully completing obstacles and also meeting the pre- and post-challenge requirements. Each team will be permitted two chances, the better score of the two will be taken as the final team score.

NASA’s ambitions with the Human Exploration Rover Challenge

NASA’s Human Exploration Rover Challenge aligns with Artemis mission to return to the moon by 2020 and explore it. The competition emphasizes particularly designing, constructing and testing technologies in unique environments. The designs made by the students will encourage the next generation of engineers and scientists and provide them with valuable experiences as they may someday plan future space missions and explorations to other planets.

Importance of this achievement to ITS

ITS is proud to be on NASA’s website as an invitee to NASA’s Human Exploration Challenge. ITS Engineering College, Greater Noida was established in 2006, and by 2020 it has been able to be one of the 3 colleges from India which have been invited by NASA for its Human Rover Challenge in 2020.

Significance of Online education during COVID-19

Significance of Online education during COVID-19

 

We all, the most of world's population is staying at home for last few months and just passing the time in quarantine way. Every one is dealing with “pneumonia of unknown cause" started from Wuhan, and it changing itself again and again.  When WHO declared COVID-19 (known as 2019-nCoV) a pandemic, all schools, colleges, and universities were asked to shut down by the authorities. All the developed, developing and under developed countries are trying to fight with the same at their best. One unknown virus has brought the whole world to its knees.  Only available solution to this is prevention, but we need to keep it as our everyday practices. People have already stopped shaking hands, and students of various school and colleges have stopped attending to schools and colleges physically.

 

As we all know that this is a temporary but a long time situation, we need to use the time in a productive manner, and the only way available for the same is online education.

 

Online Education during COVID-19

 

With all school and colleges closures throughout the world, online learning is the only solution. So many online learning platforms recently started to provide education during the lockdown due to pandemic situations. Learning through Online platform will keep students   safe and will help them to keep up with the study.  During the pandemic situations due to coronavirus, anyone’s health is of most importance.

Being a responsible teaching organization, it automatically becomes very critical and essential to take all safety measurements to keep our students safe and healthy also to keep them updated in context of their studies.

So we are providing  all the instructions and guidance to all our students of Engineering and Management regarding online courses available on various online platforms  i.e Course era , NPTEL etc, here at ITS, engineering college, Greater Noida. This will surely enhance their subjective knowledge and also enable them to use their free time in a productive manner.

Restore that Mental Peace

As the world has turned upside down due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, many of us are desperately yearning for a respite from the uncertainty, upheaval, and anxiety brought about by it. We’re longing to calm down our stressed-soaked inner chatter and soothe our frayed nerves.

We’re craving to release our physical, emotional, and mental tension. We’re yearning for a genuine breather, a break from the gamut of responsibilities and the reality that many things have changed. Many of the things we love and have relied on for comfort, soothing, and healing are no longer an option. 

In short, every one of us can benefit from a week (or month) long vacation. But since this isn’t possible for most of us, we can focus on what is engaging in small activities and practices that help us to unwind throughout the day. You’ll find these ideas below. Set a timer for 10 minutes, and brainstorm other ways you can chill out in small windows of time. 

 

WALK BAREFOOT

Walking in the grass, sand, dirt, or soil can help you to connect to the calming and nourishing energy of the earth, since our bodies are made of similar elements of the earth—such as water, air— and walking barefoot are ways you can restore yourself mindfully.

 

RELISH EVERYDAY BEAUTY

Allow yourself to be curious about the beautiful things you see on a regular basis. For example, observe a flower’s petals or touch them to see how they feel. Watch the clouds pass, imagining yourself jumping from one to the next. Listen to the outdoor and indoor sounds of the morning. Feel the warmth of your little one’s hands. 

 

TAKE TEN DEEP BREATHS

Count each breath on the inhale. Also, keep your exhales several seconds longer than your inhales.

 

PRACTICE CO-REGULATION

This is simply holding hands with friend or partner who is calm and relaxed to help you tune into their energy. Think of someone you feel comfortable with, who has a soothing voice and gentle, calming manner.

 

MASSAGE YOUR HANDS

Washing your hands, applying hand cream, and massaging the palm of each hand and fingers for about 20 seconds each can help break up any stale, congested energy while increasing your breathing. Notice when you massage your hands, your breath tends to get deeper in the lower abdomen area (and lungs) where your calming nerves are. Massaging your feet is also a great way to ease tension. 

 

 

 

 

MASSAGE YOUR TEMPLES 

If you can afford, apply lavender essential oil to your index and middle fingers. Then moving clockwise massage your temples. To enhance your relaxation, put on some spa-like or nature sounds, classical music, or your favourite relaxing tunes. 

 

PRACTICE SAVASANA

During this corpse pose, close your eyes and picture any thoughts that arise as autumn leaves traveling down the river. You also might move from your feet to your head, tensing and relaxing different muscle groups as you make your way from bottom to top. 

 

PLAY WITH PAINT

Use any paint you have on hand, and grab a canvas or thick piece of paper. Instead of focusing on creating a specific image, simply glide your paintbrush from left to right, right to left. Or get out any art supplies you have and simply start doodling or sketching, cutting or gluing. 

 

Unwinding will look different for everyone. And the strategies that help you relax will differ depending on the day and the extent of your anxiety or stress levels. So explore and experiment. Play around with an assortment of techniques, noting what helps and what doesn’t. 

 

Ultimately, don’t judge yourself for needing rest or comfort. Don’t criticize yourself for needing to slow down and take a break. Incorporate small, soothing activities into your everyday, so they become small, soothing rituals that help you to relax and refresh.
