Mangaluru, Dec 15: Faculty members from the School of Engineering (SOE), led by Dr S Ruban, Dean–SOE, participated in a series of academic and skill-oriented engagements on December 12, focusing on value-based education, faculty mentoring, and community health preparedness.

The faculty first visited the AIMIT campus of St Aloysius (Deemed to be University), where they interacted with Dr Kiran Cotha SJ, director, AIMIT. During the interaction, Dr Cotha spoke on Jesuit values and highlighted the pivotal role of teachers in shaping socially responsible and future-ready leaders.

The session concluded with a question-and-answer interaction. This was followed by a session by Dr Rowena Wright, associate professor, Department of MBA, who addressed the theme of mentoring Gen Z. She shared 12 key pointers aimed at helping faculty better understand student perspectives and respond effectively to emerging academic and personal challenges. The visit concluded with a guided tour of the AIMIT campus.

Later in the day, the SOE faculty visited Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) for a hands-on training programme on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). The session was conducted by Dr. Rohan S Monis, chief administrative officer, KIMS, along with his team. The training covered assessment of emergency situations, activation of emergency medical services, and correct CPR techniques. Faculty members also participated in practical demonstrations under expert guidance.

The engagements reflect the School of Engineering’s emphasis on holistic faculty development and societal responsibility. While the sessions at AIMIT align with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 Quality Education, by strengthening mentorship and value-based teaching, the CPR training at KIMS contributes to SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being, by equipping faculty with essential life-saving skills.
