Embryo is a project to foster strong collaboration of BITS students and BITS faculty with the alumni and friends of BITS Pilani.
Through lecture series and collaborative projects, the students can get exposure to the cutting edge research areas. They also get an opportunity to network with Alumni and friends of BITS, who are reputed academicians and industry leaders.
We aim to leverage BITSConnect to bring the alumni closer to the students and faculty. Each and every alumnus can contribute his most valuable resources to BITS Pilani - knowledge and experience.
The approach is three-fold:
Complement BITS courses through video lecture series
Facilitate collaborative research projects between alumni and BITS
Expose students to current research trends and provide guidance for pursuing research projects
On Jan 9, 2013, BITSConnect 2.0 was inaugurated. A multi-million dollar project which brings state of the art telepresence and interconnectivity to the campuses of BITS; it provides Embryo the platform to conduct high-quality cross campus talks, and to further enhance the remote learning experience that it has been providing across all the campuses for some time now.
Embryo aims to help BITS Pilani students become Leaders, Innovators and Entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
You can also contribute to Project Embryo. Register with us and we shall get in touch shortly.
Embryo is a forum for on-line, live and interactive lectures, run by students and faculties of BITS-Pilani. It was conceived and initiated by a group of 6 BITS Pilani Alumni in the Silicon Valley in 2006 with an aim to transform classroom education.
Since February, 2006, more than 200 lectures have been successfully conducted in areas as wide ranging as Entrepreneurship, Black Holes, Solar Cells, Science of Smell, Naxalism, Rain water harvesting,Storage Networks, PSOCs, Process Control.
In August 2010, Embryo 2.0 was launched. Since then we have conducted a series of lectures. The lecturer works closely with the course faculty and in a few cases, the lecture content is subject to evaluative components. The knowledge of the alumni has thus become an integral part of the BITS curriculum.
Enrich the learning experience at BITS Pilani.
To make the academic and industrial experience of the BITS alumni accessible to on-campus students through lectures, collaborative research projects, and exposure to current research trends around the world.
Although there is no alternative to 'in person' classroom teaching, any University in the world is limited by its on-campus human resources and available expertise. Often, a lecture or two in the right area by the right person can change the course of one's career. Embryo proposes to free education from the barriers of distance, time and human resources. Leveraging web-based technologies, Embryo acts as a bridge between the knowledge seekers (students), and the potential speakers. Such a powerful method truly realizes the dream of border less classrooms and bottomless learning resources.
With the advent of BITS Connect2.0 , we now have state of the art telepresence solutions across all campuses thus making the experience even richer.
