Alright, Dr. Umar, thanks for walking me through your background—from your current role at Model Institute of Engineering and Technology and your post-doc at NIT Warangal. When you’re working with new engineering students, is there a particular foundational concept you really enjoy teaching, and how do you make it accessible for those just starting out?

Alright, Dr. Umar, so your post-doc work was focused on millimeter wave antennas for 5G and IoT, and you’ve got experience teaching at two engineering institutes. When you’re introducing a foundational concept—maybe something like electromagnetic waves or signal processing—to a new batch of students, what’s your approach to making that topic click for them?

You really emphasize the real-world impact of antennas to spark student interest, especially given their role in everything from Wi-Fi to online learning. Now, focusing on your research in millimeter wave antennas and next-gen wireless, where do you see the most promising, fundable directions over the next few years? Which funding agencies or grant mechanisms would you target first?

You really try to ground the fundamentals in real-world impact, especially using examples like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to hook students’ interest. Shifting gears—given your research in millimeter wave antennas and next-gen wireless networks, where do you see the most promising, fundable research directions over the next few years? Which grants or funding sources would you target to support that work?

Alright, so you focus on showing students how antennas have replaced wires in communication, making wireless networks possible. Now, thinking about the broader impact of your research—where do you see the most promising, fundable directions in millimeter wave antennas and IoT over the next three years? Which specific grants or funding bodies would you target to support that work?

So you use the shift from wired to wireless communication—and the indispensability of antennas—to spark student interest and ground electromagnetic theory in real applications. Now, Dr. Umar, given your research in millimeter wave antennas and next-gen wireless networks, where do you see the most promising, fundable research directions over the next three years? Which grants or funding agencies would you specifically target to support these projects?

Alright, so you make the fundamentals of wireless communication tangible for students, connecting the lab designs to things like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Now, considering your expertise in millimeter wave antennas and IoT, where do you see the most promising and fundable directions for research over the next few years? Are there specific grants or industry partnerships you’d target to support that work?

So you really work to make antennas tangible

Yes, Sir.

Okay, you mentioned publishing nine SCI-indexed journal articles and securing three patents, with work on antennas for 5G and IoT. Based on your current research, where do you see the greatest opportunity to secure external funding in the next couple of years—are there specific grant agencies or industry partners you’re targeting?

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF.

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister. Has been released, that is in the area of the drones. So here also I can go for one research. Topic that is. Where I can utilize? My age of 19 hours.

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister.

Drones, so that has also been. That opportunity has also been. An RF in collaboration with. CR I. Why calibrate with some industry partner?

Switching gears, Dr. Umar—VIT University puts a lot of emphasis on industry collaboration. Suppose you’re teaching a course on embedded systems. How would you design your teaching so students actually experience the connection between academic theory and real industrial applications, rather than just learning from the textbook?

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister.

RF that was earlier called. Serb but now. Is called as an or. How many calls are given by an RF? There is one more. Call the. For that Advanced Research grant.

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister.

RF that was earlier called. Serb but now. Is called as an or. How many calls are given by an RF? There is one more. Call the. For that Advanced Research grant. So since I have some. Roughly around. Of experience.

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister. Has been released, that is in the area of the drones. So here also I can go for one research. Topic that is. Where I can utilize? My age of 19 hours. Go into the connectivity. Different application. Drones, so that has also been. That opportunity has also been. An RF in collaboration with. CR I. Why calibrate with some industry partner? Similarly, the Aurora opportunities where one. Mandatory collaborate with. UH faculty or. Outside India. For example, I have to. Someone in Japan? Japan. So that in within India. One, uh. Has to go. For the funding opportunities in ANP.

Of experience. I am also eligible. For that, but for that I have to again collaborate with some senior faculty at VIT. Just to secure because that is the advanced grant. So we. Just new. We knew faculty.

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister.

Of experience. I am also eligible. For that, but for that I have to again collaborate with some senior faculty at VIT. Just to secure because that is the advanced grant. So we. Just new. We knew faculty. The opportunity. We'll just collaborate with some senior faculty at VIT University. And I will. That. Sorry advanced.

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister.

We knew faculty. The opportunity. We'll just collaborate with some senior faculty at VIT University. And I will. That. Sorry advanced. So similarly there are the opportunities given by different Iits like IIT Roper. IIT Roper. Reduce the cost.

Right, so you mentioned the Early Career Research grant from ANRF and a new ministry initiative in drones as key opportunities. Let's shift to teaching for a moment. Suppose you're handling a large embedded systems course at VIT, but you can't rely on traditional lectures or slides. How would you keep students actively engaged and make sure they're really understanding the material?

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister.

So similarly there are the opportunities given by different Iits like IIT Roper. IIT Roper. Reduce the cost. Under the Panel of Award. Similarly, IIT Hyderabad gives the different. Project Call is under the tenure of Tihan. Similarly, other Iits they also. So I can work.

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that.

Either uh, Iits, nits or the. Ranking just like vit.

Alright, so you're looking at opportunities like the ANRF Early Career grant and new drone-related initiatives, plus possibly partnering with industry. Let's bring this back to teaching for a second—say you're assigned a large embedded systems course at VIT University with students from varied academic backgrounds. How would you structure your sessions or activities to make sure everyone, regardless of prior experience, stays engaged and actually learns the core concepts?

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister.

You mentioned collaboration with both Indian and international partners—like working with faculty in Japan—when seeking grants. Let’s pivot to your classroom for a moment. Suppose you’re teaching embedded systems to a group with very mixed backgrounds. What specific pedagogical innovations would you use so that both advanced and less-prepared students are meaningfully engaged and challenged during the same session?

Yeah. So there are so many opportunities. In collaboration with the. Initiative to send. Or reorganizations, for example. If you talk about within the India, the. Opportunity is that. Early Career research grant by ANRF. Is the one opportunity then the second opportunity that is there for the research? Like me is. For example. One minister.

One can also go.

Right, so you mentioned industry collaboration and the need to connect research with teaching. Suppose you’re assigned to teach Embedded Systems at VIT, and slides are off-limits — how would you structure a session to actively engage students from diverse backgrounds and ensure they’re really wrestling with the concepts?

Dr. Umar, earlier you described how you motivate students by connecting antenna concepts to real-world tech, like wireless networks and IoT. Suppose you're teaching Embedded Systems at VIT with students from diverse academic backgrounds, and you can't use traditional slides. How would you design your sessions to keep everyone genuinely engaged and able to grasp the material?

Okay, you highlighted the ANRF Early Career grant and drone research as funding opportunities, and your collaborations both in India and abroad. Let’s switch gears to your teaching practice, specifically for embedded systems. Imagine you’re leading a large embedded systems course at VIT, but slides aren’t allowed and you have students from a wide range of backgrounds. How would you structure a class session to actively engage everyone and make the material stick?

Right, you’ve got experience targeting grants like the Early Career Research grant, and you mentioned collaborating both in India and internationally. Let’s shift gears—suppose you’re teaching Embedded Systems at VIT, and you can’t use slides. How would you structure a session to keep a large, diverse group of students engaged and actively learning?

Alright, you’ve really mapped out the major Indian funding agencies and the value of collaborating with senior faculty at VIT. Let’s change gears for a moment—imagine you’re teaching Embedded Systems at VIT, and you’re not allowed to use slides or traditional lectures. How would you structure a session to make sure students with different backgrounds stay engaged and actually wrestle with the material?

Right, you’ve mapped out funding pathways through ANRF and highlighted the value of collaborating for more advanced grants. Let’s switch gears—imagine you’re teaching Embedded Systems at VIT, but you’re not allowed to use slides, and your students have wildly different backgrounds. How would you structure a session to keep everyone engaged and actually learning?

Alright, you mentioned hands-on research with antennas and connecting that to real-world tech for your students. Suppose you're teaching Embedded Systems at VIT, but slides aren't allowed and you've got 150 students in a large hall. How would you run a session that keeps everyone engaged and actually wrestling with the material, not just listening?

Okay, you’ve mapped out funding strategies and industry-academic collaborations, but let’s shift to teaching. Suppose you’re assigned an Embedded Systems course at VIT, and you’ve got students from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. What specific pedagogical innovations would you introduce to make sure everyone’s engaged and actually learning, not just listening?

You’ve clearly mapped out a lot of current funding opportunities and the value of collaboration—especially with agencies like ANRF and through industry partnerships. Let’s pivot to your teaching: suppose you’re assigned an Embedded Systems course at VIT, but you’re not allowed to use slides and you’ve got 200 students from a wide range of academic backgrounds. How would you run a session that keeps everyone actively engaged and learning?

Dr. Umar, you’ve clearly put effort into identifying funding streams and building collaborations, and your experience spans both teaching and research. Pivoting to pedagogy for a moment—imagine you’re teaching Embedded Systems at VIT, but you’ve got a class with students from a wide range of academic backgrounds and learning styles. What’s one concrete pedagogical innovation you’d introduce to make the material accessible and engaging for everyone, beyond traditional lectures?

You’ve clearly mapped out a lot of current funding opportunities and the value of collaboration—especially with agencies like ANRF and through industry partnerships. Let’s pivot to your teaching: suppose you’re assigned an Embedded Systems course at VIT, and you’ve got students from a range of backgrounds and academic strengths. If you couldn’t use slides and had to keep a class of 200 engaged, how would you run a session that’s genuinely interactive and reaches both advanced and struggling students?

Right, you’ve mapped out funding pathways through ANRF and highlighted the value of collaborating for more advanced grants. Let’s switch gears—imagine you’re teaching Embedded Systems at VIT, but you can’t use slides and you’ve got 200 students in the room. How would you run a session that actually gets everyone involved, instead of just lecturing from the front?

Alright, you’ve outlined a pretty detailed strategy for navigating Indian research funding, especially by leveraging collaborations and institutional ranking—sounds like you’re proactive about that landscape. Let’s talk about your teaching for a moment. Suppose you’re assigned to teach Embedded Systems at VIT, but you have a classroom with students from very different academic backgrounds and some are struggling. What’s one concrete pedagogical innovation you’d introduce to help everyone engage and actually learn the material—not just the top performers?

Alright, so you’ve clearly spent time strategizing about funding agencies and collaborative grants, and I appreciate how closely you tie your research to practical applications. Let’s switch gears for a moment—suppose you’re asked to teach an Embedded Systems course at VIT, with students from a wide range of backgrounds and learning styles. What specific pedagogical innovations would you introduce to make sure every student, regardless of prior experience, can engage with and master the material?

Right, you’ve mapped out funding pathways through ANRF and highlighted the value of collaborating for more advanced grants. Let’s switch gears—imagine you’re teaching Embedded Systems at VIT, but you have a class with a wide range of student backgrounds and academic strengths. What pedagogical innovations would you introduce to make sure every student, from advanced to struggling, stays engaged and learns effectively?

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor.

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor. Iots. So right now we are facing the student's. They are. He called them as Gen. Z. Generation Z.

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor. Iots. So right now we are facing the student's. They are. He called them as Gen. Z. Generation Z. So now. As a teacher, As a faculty.

Alright, you were starting to say that whether it's embedded systems or microcontrollers, your approach would be similar. Could you walk me through one specific classroom activity or strategy you'd use to help students with very different backgrounds grasp the basics of embedded systems?

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor. Iots. So right now we are facing the student's. They are. He called them as Gen. Z. Generation Z. So now. As a teacher, As a faculty. Because it is not that traditional kind of teaching that. Used to be the student right now. We have to follow. Different. As different. These are to be. Like the activities that. We also practice at might. College also.

Alright, you mentioned how Gen Z students have different expectations and approaches to learning. Accreditation cycles can be pretty demanding—if you joined our department and found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses, how would you approach fixing that?

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor. Iots. So right now we are facing the student's. They are. He called them as Gen. Z. Generation Z. So now. As a teacher, As a faculty. Because it is not that traditional kind of teaching that. Used to be the student right now. We have to follow. Different. As different. These are to be. Like the activities that. We also practice at might. College also. Activities include. Like, uh. Summarization visible. They are the things that Newt will introduce. And some there are hands on sessions that allow the student. More interested? For the virtual lab session is to make it. Dentist is The thing is more clearly. And also. Go for the activities like Think peer and share where. We just discussed a little bit about some topic, then we asked the students to. Think about something, then pair with each other, then share what they have. Concluded.

You were starting to say that Gen Z students have different expectations and approaches to learning. Can you walk me through one specific classroom activity or strategy you'd use in Embedded Systems to help students at all levels stay engaged and really master the material?

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor. Iots. So right now we are facing the student's. They are.

Think about something, then pair with each other, then share what they have. Concluded. Uh, different kind of activities that. We can introduce. Yeah, style. To make the pseudo dentist more interested. And also. Go for uh uh. We can say. Weekly feedback. From the student. From from different areas.

The importance of. And topic. That we are actually teaching. So that, uh. Discuss. Only then the student dentist will be interested. For example, we are teaching the embedded systems.

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor. Iots. So right now we are facing the student's. They are. He called them as Gen. Z. Generation Z. So now. As a teacher, As a faculty. Because it is not that traditional kind of teaching that. Used to be the student right now. We have to follow. Different. As different. These are to be. Like the activities that. We also practice at might. College also. Activities include. Like, uh. Summarization visible. They are the things that Newt will introduce. And some there are hands on sessions that allow the student. More interested? For the virtual lab session is to make it. Dentist is The thing is more clearly. And also. Go for the activities like Think peer and share where. We just discussed a little bit about some topic, then we asked the students to. Think about something, then pair with each other, then share what they have. Concluded. Uh, different kind of activities that. We can introduce. Yeah, style. To make the pseudo dentist more interested. And also. Go for uh uh. We can say. Weekly feedback. From the student. From from different areas. And also. So we just need to. We can say. The importance of. And topic. That we are actually teaching. So that, uh. Discuss. Only then the student dentist will be interested. For example, we are teaching the embedded systems. We have. Due to students that how important the embankment system is up.

Do you think we are and share activity tomorrow I will go.

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor. Iots. So right now we are facing the student's. They are.

Do you think we are and share activity tomorrow I will go. Another day I will go. The hands on session. Another day I will just introduce a virtual lab.

Alright, so you’ve started to adapt your teaching for Gen Z students and you try to make activities interactive. Let’s talk about something that comes up a lot in academic departments: accreditation cycles can be pretty demanding. If you joined our department and found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses, how would you approach fixing that?

Whatever the course. Is uh, whether it is embedded system or uh, we can call it as microcontroller this. Record a censor. Iots. So right now we are facing the student's. They are. He called them as Gen. Z. Generation Z. So now. As a teacher, As a faculty. Because it is not that traditional kind of teaching that. Used to be the student right now. We have to follow. Different.

Do you think we are and share activity tomorrow I will go. Another day I will go. The hands on session. Another day I will just introduce a virtual lab. Uh, another day I will just, uh, go for that, Philip. Another thing that. Filipid classroom is another uh. Duty, which is right now.

Alright, so you’re already using things like hands-on labs and think-pair-share to actively engage students at different levels. Now, accreditation cycles can get pretty demanding—say you joined our department and discovered that the outcome assessment data for student learning was inconsistent across Embedded Systems courses. How would you go about fixing that?

You brought up activities like think-pair-share and regular feedback to keep Gen Z students engaged, especially in technical courses. Now, let’s talk about accreditation—if you joined our department and noticed that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across embedded systems lab sections, how would you approach fixing that?

You’re already running hands-on labs and using activities like think-pair-share for Gen Z engagement. Now, let’s talk institutional responsibilities—what role do you see yourself playing in department-level governance, like curriculum committees or program reviews, beyond teaching and research?

So you’re already using hands-on sessions, think-pair-share, and regular feedback to address the learning needs of Gen Z students in technical courses like Embedded Systems. Accreditation cycles can be demanding—if you joined our department and found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses, how would you approach fixing that?

You talked about hands-on and peer activities for Gen Z students, and making the relevance of embedded systems clear to keep them engaged. Accreditation requirements mean you’ll also need to design fair, rigorous evaluation methods. How do you approach assessment so that you’re not just testing theoretical knowledge, but also practical competencies in both theory and lab courses?

Alright, so you’re using things like peer activities, hands-on labs, and regular feedback to reach students at all levels in embedded systems courses. Now, accreditation cycles can be pretty demanding—if you joined our department and found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses, how would you approach fixing that?

You gave concrete examples like think-pair-share, hands-on labs, and regular feedback to accommodate different learning styles. Now, beyond teaching and research, what role do you see yourself playing in department-level governance—things like curriculum committees or program reviews?

Alright,

Introducing these kind of things. Yeah.

Introducing these kind of things. Yeah. Yes, Sir.

You’ve put a lot of thought into using varied activities and adapting your teaching for different student needs—virtual labs, peer feedback, and mixing up classroom formats. Since we’re talking about departmental responsibilities, beyond teaching and research, what role do you see yourself playing in things like curriculum committees or program reviews?

Mm-hmm.

Continue.

You talked about how traditional approaches aren’t enough for Gen Z students and outlined some active learning strategies, like think-pair-share and virtual labs. Accreditation standards mean you’ll also need to design fair and rigorous student assessments. If you joined our department and discovered that different faculty were using inconsistent methods to evaluate lab and theory courses, how would you approach fixing that?

So talk about the lab, evaluating the labs. And the lab we have to right now. A continuous evaluation. That is. I personally feel and I have worked with different.

So talk about the lab, evaluating the labs. And the lab we have to right now. A continuous evaluation. That is. I personally feel and I have worked with different. So I have learned a lot. From SO and I have personally, uh. That going through the continuous evaluation. The best thing that actually. Helps the. Faculty to evaluate. Perfectly uh. The Revolution. And also it helped with the sudo dentist to. Just you can say improve. And it helps with the students to know why they are actually. For example in the lab. If today I just. Say some experiment in. We can see computer networks.

You mentioned continuous evaluation and experience working with different formats—can you give me a concrete example of how you’d bring faculty together to standardize assessment for both lab and theory courses, especially when people have strong preferences for their own methods?

We can see computer networks. Configuration of. So I will just, uh. See performance of the student is. While performing this experiment. I will just evaluate them based on their. Current you can say. Execution. How they maintain the record of. Current expert. For the Viva. Of this experiment. This experiment in the next lab and that way I will continue.

Continuous evaluation. Will help both the faculty as well as. That they will see why they are lagging and they will also try to. By the air. Grades and. 2 for the traditional views. Evolve with them students at the end at the end of.

You're left with no time to improve. But if you go for continuous. So we just need. Uh, we build. Field work is also. It is not only for example, if I am taking up the lab of computer network just. The thing this is within the layer that will not. We have to take them out of the lab. Show them the network that are in the campus. Show them the network to that orbit in other city. Helps the students to show their interest. This helps the faculty also.

Helps the students to show their interest. This helps the faculty also. Go to Greatest. Are actually casting the fingers. More practically.

So you value continuous evaluation and have learned from different institutions, especially in lab settings. Can you give me a concrete example of how you’d bring faculty together to standardize assessment for both lab and theory courses, so that accreditation data is reliable?

Okay, so you focus on continuous assessment and tracking student performance in labs by observation and regular feedback. Beyond the classroom, what role do you see yourself playing in department-level governance—things like curriculum committees or program reviews?

Okay, so you emphasized continuous evaluation and tracking student progress throughout the semester rather than just relying on end-of-term exams. If some faculty are hesitant to change their current assessment methods, how would you help bring everyone on board and ensure a consistent approach across the department?

So you’ve seen firsthand that continuous evaluation helps students improve and gives faculty more touch points for feedback. But day-to-day, accreditation also means documenting and aligning those assessments across the department. How would you coordinate with colleagues to make sure theory and lab evaluations actually meet those external standards?

You’ve clearly thought about assessment beyond just grading, and you’re comfortable stepping up to improve department practices. Now, let me put you in a real-world situation. Imagine a student files a formal complaint that your grading is biased, but at the same time, your department head is urging you to improve pass rates in your course. How do you handle that tension between academic integrity and institutional pressure?

If my department had insist. The evolution at the end. I will do that. But what I will do, I will. Continuous evaluation. Keep that record at. And then? I will just. For the continuous watch. Patient from my end. That is what I will do. I will show the student that I am just evaluating you on the continuous. And at the end, if the head wants me, the final. Should be trained. And they will be trained. The duration of the lab uh, uh. Throughout the semester. At the end I.

If my department had insist. The evolution at the end.

If my department had insist. The evolution at the end. I will do that. But what I will do, I will. Continuous evaluation. Keep that record at. And then? I will just. For the continuous watch. Patient from my end. That is what I will do. I will show the student that I am just evaluating you on the continuous. And at the end, if the head wants me, the final. Should be trained.

So if your department head insists on end-of-semester assessments only, even though you've seen the benefits of continuous evaluation, how would you approach that disagreement professionally?

If my department had insist. The evolution at the end. I will do that. But what I will do, I will. Continuous evaluation. Keep that record at. And then? I will just. For the continuous watch. Patient from my end. That is what I will do. I will show the student that I am just evaluating you on the continuous. And at the end, if the head wants me, the final. Should be trained. And they will be trained. The duration of the lab uh, uh. Throughout the semester. At the end I. For the final evaluation. That has been. Suggested by the department. That will be the department requirement, but. I going on continuous. And get. Sure, that that kind of. Uh, flexibility is almost at every play that you can go. For continuous work, although that will not be counted. That the department had warned Smith. Finally, but. That will help me to train the students, that will help. Students to know why they are actually. Or why they need to prove to?

Alright, Dr., you’ve clearly spent a lot of time thinking about assessment and fairness. Now, shifting to industry alignment—given your research background in sensors, IoT, and antennas, do you have any connections with industry or companies that could lead to internships or placement opportunities for students at VIT?

You're saying you'd keep detailed records of your ongoing assessments even if the department required traditional end-term grading, and use your own data to help students improve during the semester. Now, given your background in sensors and IoT, do you have any industry connections or collaborations that could help VIT students with internships or exposure to real-world projects?

Alright, Dr. Umar, I want to shift focus now and touch on a few specific skill areas relevant for this role. For image processing, suppose you’re asked to guide a student project where they need to design a low-cost system to detect surface defects on manufactured parts using a standard webcam. What practical steps would you have them follow, and how would you ensure the solution is robust enough for real-world deployment?

The problem? Mentioned here is to. Detective some crack. Some material. Hi. And then I have to you. Webcam to take the pictures and then I have to. Different image. Accessing techniques. The text. They may be discrete cosine donors form. Discrete wave electronic form techniques. Get the information. Based on. Cracks that are mentioned in the. Major and then. The other technique is that. So far we may go for the. To analytics, uh uh. That based on the crack. We will predict the. Picture of that the material. For example, if the cracks are within. But so. Some other equipment. Some fly over. We need for image processing. We need to edit the image. With the machine learning and. Machine learning techniques. What was the result we can say product to? Resent. They predict an analytics. Or real-time result Yeah, yeah. I just want to. The IT is mentioned is the assistant Prof. So what is the care? For example. In the area of. In the role of assistant for. Assistant Assistant. Then associate professor and professor, what is the career growth in?

Alright, so you'd have students apply transforms like DCT or DWT to extract features from the webcam images. What about when the lighting in the factory changes or parts get dirty—how would you make sure the detection still works reliably in those real-world conditions?

Alright, so you’d guide them to use transforms like DCT and DWT to extract features and look for cracks in the images, which shows you know your way around image processing. Dr. Umar, that brings us to the end of our technical questions for today. Thank you for your time and thoughtful answers.

Alright, we're wrapping up. Is there anything you'd like to ask about the role or the team?

Yeah, yeah. I just want to. The IT is mentioned is the assistant Prof. So what is the care? For example. In the area of. In the role of assistant for. Assistant Assistant. Then associate professor and professor, what is the career growth in? That I just want. That is a sermon.

Thanks for asking about career growth. In this department, the typical path starts at Assistant Professor, then moves up to Associate Professor, and eventually Professor, based on teaching, research, publications, and service contributions. Advancement depends on your research impact, student mentorship, grants, and involvement in academic activities—so there are clear steps for progression as you build your portfolio. Anything else you'd like to know before we finish? You can ask one more question if you have it.
