Being an alumni of Reva University of Bangalore, I wanted to introduce IBM's Academic Initiative to our college. I spoke to the principal of Reva University and he was very interested in pursing this further.
He then got a professor contact with whom I could coordinate the things. Mr Akram Pasha, then enrolled to the IBM academic initiative and showed interest in introducing IBM Bluemix as a course subject for Reva University along with lab sessions.
Following up, Myself and my colleague Mr. Sathish Subramanyam delivered a session on IBM Bluemix on 23/9/2015, which was attended by 90 students of the CS branch.
We introduced the students to Cloud Foundry & IBM Bluemix. We also showed them a quick demo to start of with IBM Bluemix.
Students were very impressed as they understood they would save time to setup the environment, which they can get easily at IBM Bluemix.
Many students even interacted with us post the session and showed interest in doing some projects in IBM Bluemix.It was a successful session.
The future steps are for the college to check with the management and decide how they would like to carry forward this relationship with IBM.
At what point in Engineering, they would like to introduce IBM Bluemix and how the faculties would be trained on IBM Bluemix is yet to be decided by the Management.
