Aditya college of engineering, [ACE] Chittoor - Hostels and Facilities

Library

The main aim of library is to provide right documents to right users at right time. The collections of library includes Books, Journals, Magazines, Project reports, Question Bank, Back volumes of Journals, Magazines and News papers in the field of Management studies, Science , Engineering and Technologies. Library is situated in the ground floor, spread over around 600 Sq.M in the Main administrative block. Designed in such a way it has natural light over entire day and provides a friendly environment to gain knowledge in an effective manner.

Library has well trained professionals to support the user community. Around 150 users can sit and read at any point of time. Our Library System consists of a Central Library and 6 departmental libraries which collectively support the teaching and research programmes of the Institute and provides facilities for general reading and disseminates information according to the requirement of the users. The Library has a Computerised Library Information System and Internet Browing Centre. It has around 62,846 books, reports, standards and back volumes of journals.

The functioning of the Library is monitored by a committee comprising of the Principal, one faculty from each Engineering Department, one faculty from Non Engineering Department, Librarian and the Chief Accountant.

Canteen

provide good canteen facility awith healthy and hygienic food with accomadating around 200 students. Canteen has the necessary infrastructure and modern kitchen.

Hostel

provide good hostel facility and hospitality with healthy and hygienic food for our hostel students. The calm and beautiful environment is conducive for studies, suitable for walkers to have a pleasant walk on the well laid pavements under the natural avenues and lawns.

There are two separate hostels for boys and girls students accommodating about 200 students. All the hostels have necessary infrastructure and modern kitchen. The inmates are provided with a cot, a chair and a table. There is a cooperative store available in the hostel, to serve the day-to-day needs of the inmates. Hostel admission form is available in the hostel office for sale on payment.

Computer Center

Our college is fully equipped with round the clock internet facility with a speed of 32 Mbps, in collaboration with BSNL networks. The node facility is available for the entire campus including the hostels.

Round the Clock OFC internet connectivity is available for the entire campus including hostels.

All the Computer Laboratories are connected to the internet through Managable Switches(VLAN).

Laboratories

From the very beginning of engineering education, laboratories have had a central role in the education of engineers. While there has been a lot of discussion in the perceived importance of laboratory study versus more theoretical classroom work, it has never been suggested that laboratories can be foregone completely. At times, however, they have been taken for granted to a considerable extent. With the advent of the Internet, the development of powerful simulation programs enabled by enormous, cheap computing power, and the growing number of online undergraduate engineering programs have combined to refocus attention on laboratories. The fundamental objectives developed have helped to prompt discussion about why laboratories are important and what are the characteristics of a good laboratory exercise.

Engineering is a hands-on profession where doing is key. Despite the important role of laboratories in engineering education, several engineering educators have reported that the expected benefits of laboratories on students' learning are not achieved in most of the cases. Labs should be considered as platforms for facilitating conceptual understanding, and many engineering educators considered that laboratories should also facilitate the design skills. However, constructing knowledge is a complex process which is often out of the timeframe of the planned laboratory sessions.

The high end computing nodes are in the network of ACE through which simultaneously many users can access any of the servers in additions to other users from their department through campus network. About 1000 users can simultaneously access the facilities of ACE from the respective departments.

Since all the computer systems in ACE are connected in a switched fiber optic campus network, one can access any resource from any node in the campus. A variety of software is also available for the students and the users.
