The campus at Chandigarh University boasts of an
unprecedented industry patronage and exclusive infrastructure facilities
provided by multinationals like Microsoft, IBM, Wipro, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank,
Videocon and many more to make widespread use of technology-enhanced learning
to maintain excellence and continue to improve the learning process of the
students. University’s State-of-the-Art infrastructure and technology is
integrated into every area ensuring smooth connectivity in every corner of the
campus.
Moving further, no one is oblivious of the effect the
Pandemic COVID-19 has laid onto the world and daily life of every individual.
The pandemic’s outbreak also raised temporary barriers on education by making
it hard or next to impossible for an institution to undertake academics or
events at their respective campus. However, even in these times Chandigarh
University has been thriving and ascending to greater avenues.
To begin with, when the academic sessions were temporarily
called off, Chandigarh University was one of the pioneers in the country to
introduce world’s high end learning management system called, Blackboard. After
having kicked off the session 2020-21 virtually, CU has been ensuring that the
students do not miss out on their industry patronage or any opportunity to
learn.
Undertaking another
international endeavor, Chandigarh University has signed Software License
Agreement with Petroleum Engineering Software Company, Kappa. Primarily a
Petroleum Engineering Software Company, Kappa trains and consults in Dynamic
Data Analysis; namely, transient and production analysis, production log
analysis, data management, modeling and history matching. Public courses are
delivered worldwide. Also, the organization trains hundreds of engineers every
year in client specific in-house courses and workshops.
The Software License Agreement with Kappa is the educational
type network license, which avails the use of six software. The software for 25
users from Chandigarh University are Saphir, Topaze, Rubis, Azurite, Emeraude
and Citrine. The total value of the six software stands at €4,500,000. The
varsity will be making the utilization of the valued software in the
engineering programs, especially in the courses of Reservoir and Production
Engineering. Having benefitted from the donation, Chandigarh University will
also be undertaking relevant research activities and to support the teaching
receiving first-hand experience of industry-standard software.
The Software Agreement License with Kappa is another major
higher educational collaboration for Chandigarh University within a very short
span of time. Mr. Olivier Houze, Managing Director of KAPPA, and Prof. (Dr.)
Satbir Singh Sehgal, Registrar of Chandigarh University signed the agreement as
Chandigarh University appreciated KAPPA for this generous donation while also
expressing hopes to collaborate together in other domains in the future.
