The plan of action chalked out by the IQAC in the beginning of the year
towards quality enhancement and the outcome achieved by the end of the
year
Sathyabama University has been constantly striving for the all round development of
the personalities of its scholars by passing on faithfully the cultural, scientific, and
technological experience of mankind accumulated over the centuries, and thereby ensuring
the continuity and advancement of human civilization. Further it is striving to set itself in line
with the institutions of excellence of parallel stature through appropriate linkage with a few
centers of higher education and research in the national and international arenas.
Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of Sathyabama University has made a
significant progress, in internalizing and institutionalizing the quality enhancement policies
with a conferment of autonomy in the last year. Encouraged by its efforts in creating quality
consciousness among the faculty, it devised a plan for 2008-09.
The following were the main programs planned by IQAC in its meeting held on
25th June, 2008. The primary task of the IQAC is to monitor the progress made on the
suggestions given by the IQAC members appointed by the university and to prepare status
reports on various issues. The recommendations of these members are thoroughly discussed
in the IQAC meetings and action plan based on the suggestion is prepared. The suggestions
of IQAC are put before the academic/administrative bodies of the University for initiating
further action. The decisions taken are being implemented for the sustenance and
enhancement of quality. All the activities of the University are conducted with its vision,
mission and objectives in mind: to form men and women who are intellectually alert, morally
upright, religiously oriented, socially conscious, culturally distinct, and nationally integrated.
Sathyabama University continued to focus on the innovative and unique practices that
add to its academic ambience stressing on the parameters underlined for the cause-
Educational innovations, Working with specific mission and goals, Plan for University
growth and Feedback for improvement of institutional functions.

FEMFEST ‘ 09
The Best Talented Person was awarded Scooty Teenz which was won by Ms. Shabnam
Sheik of St. Joseph’s College of Engg. FILM ACTOR Ms. Ramya Krishnan showed her
presence during the GRAND FINALE & THE PRIZE DISTRIBUTION CEREMONY. Our
host university performances added beauty to the grand finale. There were so many
accessories and clothing botiques, eatery stalls provided for the crowd.The overall winner
was given the winner trophy won by St. Joseph’s college of engineering. The other colleges,
participants and winners have won the rest of the prizes worth Rs.5 lakhs.Thus the festival
ended up giving an immense pleasure for the girls and great satisfaction for the management
itself.
The inauguration of Aero Hangar was held on 25th June, 2009 at 1630 hrs. by
Dr.JEPPIAAR Chancellor, Sathyabama University, and the aircrafts CESSNA-152 &
Dr. Jeppiaar has an immeasurable zeal with unflagging enthusiasm to meet the
requirement of our country’s need in aviation and aerospace activities. He has a deep passion
for “aero” and has taken the initiative to construct a unique aero hangar in aircraft
maintenance. The total cost of the aero hangar with its infrastructures has exceeded more
than 2 (two) crores. His inspiring guidance with fostering care and uniform encouragement
has a great impact in strengthening the developmental activities in aviation. His source of
inspiration would enable the department of aeronautical engineering to make a rapid progress
in achieving the most skilful aeronautical excellence to commensurate with the present day
requirements.
Our Sathyabama University has bought Cessna-152 and Piper PA-28-151 aircrafts
along with two jet engines, one Lycoming Piston Engine, one Auxiliary Power Unit and three
bladed constant speed propeller unit. The aircrafts were bought from “FALCON FLYING
SERVICES” LTD at United Kingdom. They were dismantled and sent to the university in a
container by sea..
After receipt, they were assembled and ensured serviceable after ground run by
aeronautical engineering students under the guidance of experienced faculty. The total
Besides, the aero students are being taught to give “ground runs” in monitoring all the
engine parameters for ensuring the serviceability of the aircraft.
In addition, the aero students are given a practical exposure in evaluating Aircraft Flight
Control system, Wing Dihedral check, Fin neutrality, bleeding of brake system, Wing
incidence angle check, Aircraft symmetry check and under carriage system.
The World’s Largest Solar Steam Cooking System was inaugurated on 1st of July,
2009 at Sathyabama University. Solar steam cooking systems works on the indirect solar
steam cooking method based on the Solar Energy Concentration Technology and they can be
effectively used for large-scale cooking in community kitchens. 110 concentrator dishes have
a total reflecting area of about 1100 m2 (World’s largest installation in terms of square
metres). This Solar Steam Cooking System can cook for 15,000 persons (30,000 meals per
day). The solar concentrator dishes can tap solar energy to generate steam and they are
capable of supplying 2.2 MW thermal power to the kitchen. This cooking system mainly
comprises of Central Sun-tracking system, steam header pipe, solar energy receivers, system
piping for supply of water and steam, Mild Steel and Civil supporting structures, valves &
pressure gauges, temperature gauges, cooking vessels, etc. A solar-powered kitchen
consumes lesser power and time than a conventional kitchen and ensures that a meal is
cooked in less time than for a LPG model. Thus, it is expected to generate a lot of savings.
Unlike the LPG model, solar steam cooking system helps to keep the kitchen smoke-free,
clean and hygienic. Surplus power generated from these solar dishes can be used for heating
water.
Solar Schaeffer Parabolic Concentrator dishes are arranged in pairs facing north and
south to form an array. These pairs concentrate heat from solar energy on receivers from both
sides. The water in the receiver between the pairs of concentrator dishes gets converted into
steam with a pressure of about 10 kgf/cm2 and accumulates in the steam header. By means of
pressure-reducing station, steam pressure is reduced to a safe approved limit of about 4
kgf/cm2. This reduced pressure steam is then sent to steam cooking vessels of adequate
capacity. Rice is cooked within 8 to 9 minutes and dhal within 9 to 12 min. The Solar
parabolic concentrators raise the water temperature to 550°C to 650°C and convert it into
steam for cooking purposes. This system is integrated with the existing LPG-fired boiler to
ensure continued cooking irrespective of the weather, day or night. It employs the latest state-
of-the-art-technology from Germany and it is the first of its kind in Tamilnadu. The cost of
