We are proud to share that Sona Centre for Advanced Learning & Entrepreneurship (SCALE) has successfully organized and concluded a high-impact, 2-day Faculty Development Program (April 20th–21st).
At Sona SCALE, our mission is to bridge the industry-academia gap. This workshop brought that mission to life, equipping the faculty of Thiagarajar Polytechnic College with the exact tools needed to upgrade the quality of learning through an "Industry-by-Industry-to-Industry" approach.
The Power of Partnership:
The program opened with a powerful keynote by Mr. Thyagu Valliappa, whose 3T vision—Tomorrow’s Technology Today—served as the foundation for the entire event. The sessions delivered deep technical and pedagogical value:
Day 1: Prashanth Raghu (CEO of Sudarshana Semiconductor & Deep Tech Expert) provided a masterclass in emerging technical frontiers.
Day 2: Mr. Sailesh Chandra (AI, Analytics & Research Expert) led the faculty through the practical integration of AI in teaching and research.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Director and Principal of Thiagarajar Polytechnic College for their immense support. Successfully executed under the guidance of Dr. Venugopal. Together, we are ensuring that the faculty is ready for the AI era.
