Lecture Capturing System
REC has procured licenses for Google Workspace for Education: Teaching and Learning Upgrade to conduct classes / courses in online mode. REC has always been a TECHNOLOGY FIRST INSTITUTION, for the first time in CHENNAI, introduced the Lecture Capturing System (LCS) in 2019, as a part of digital transformation to enhance the learning experience of the students and to revamp the teaching style of the faculty to offer better contextual and relevant content.
REC-LCS is an amazing way to extend material beyond the walls of the classroom. Students can access their education content anytime, anywhere and can learn at their own pace by simply logging in to the REC-LCS. Some students need to hear information more than once for it to sink in. Others get new information that recontextualizes earlier material, and need to go back and get everything to fit. REC-LCS makes it easy for the students to watch as many times as they need to. They can even watch the video at a slower/faster pace if they want. Giving them control over how fast they can watch makes for more efficient study habits.
Impartus web application is a video-based learning platform that enables educators to capture, edit, and distribute content. It provides students the deeper understanding of their topics as they review classroom content at any time, from anywhere. The platform of impartus web application is designed around real users and real learning needs, with robust security features to protect your identity. Few unique features of the impartus web application include automated lecture capture, remote access, live streaming, attachments, notes, video editing, bookmarks, search, playlist, and so on.

An alternative Energy source offers the opportunities for student’s community to engage in initiatives for contributing to environmental protection.
Solar Energy
Ours is an Energy shortfall solar PV system.
Solar PV system is designed for automatic operation with no need for user interaction. In the case of main grid supply failure, the inverter will be automatically and immediately disabled. This is known as anti-islanding. Once the power has been restored, the inverter will be automatically re-enabled.
Use of LED Bulb
Led Bulbs are used to save energy upto 90% of electrical power and highly illuminated and efficient when compared to radiant light bulbs. They are highly efficient. LED bulbs are used in various places in the college for achieving proper lightings. The CFL fittings with higher rating wattage are replaced with LED fittings with lower wattage with the same luminous level .They are used in large numbers in Admin office, reception, seminar halls and corridors. LED lights are fitted on the roof walls in all the places.
Water Conservation
Our college has very good water management plan to support all our water needs including both ladies and gent’s hostel. The water management is well supported with rain water harvesting and sump. The ground water is circulated to all overhead tanks using borewells. The college also has a sewage treatment plant to do water recycling and use it for watering plants and to support green energy.
The rainwater is harvested to charge the rain water into the soil for ground water recharging. The storage of rainwater on surface is a traditional techniques and structures used were underground tanks, ponds, check dams, weirs etc. Due to certain difficulties on going ahead with traditional techniques the campus has installed 16 to 18 numbers of ground water recharging pits to recharge storm water/rainwater to maximum extent.
The borewells are constructed in water abundant points inside and outside college. The ground water was pumped to sump using borewell. There are totally 8 sumps inside the college to support water necessities to cover all blocks of the college including hostel. The sump and borewell are periodically monitored and maintained by plumbers and civil maintenance people to take immediate actions. The sump water is loaded to overhead tanks.
From the sump water is collected in overhead tank constructed at the top of each block. All blocks have overhead tanks to support water necessities. The water from overhead tank is separately treated by RO plant for drinking purpose. The drinking water is supplied in all blocks. A well-arranged pipe network connecting sumps and overhead tank to the water distributing point is established to support all water needs of the college.
The institution always has a motto in saving water for future. In this regard a Wastewater treatment plant of capacity 300KLD is available at the campus with present utilization value of about 2,10,000 litres per day. The technology that has been adopted this WWTP is FMBR (Floating Media Bioreactor) technology for the treatment of domestic sewage and other waste waters. This technology ensures that the quality of the treated water confirms to the standards and requirements as laid out by Central/State pollution control board and the same has been reviewed and approved by NABL authorized laboratory on periodic basis to ensure on the quality.

The Alternative Energy Sources of Rajalakshmi Engineering College is made for proper implementation and efficient utilization of renewable energy sources in such a systematic way so as to minimize its impact on the environment. An alternative Energy source offers the opportunities for student’s community to engage in initiatives for contributing to environmental protection.
Solar Energy
Ours is an Energy shortfall solar PV system.
Solar PV system is designed for automatic operation with no need for user interaction. In the case of main grid supply failure, the inverter will be automatically and immediately disabled. This is known as anti-islanding. Once the power has been restored, the inverter will be automatically re-enabled.
Use of LED Bulb
Led Bulbs are used to save energy upto 90% of electrical power and highly illuminated and efficient when compared to radiant light bulbs. They are highly efficient. LED bulbs are used in various places in the college for achieving proper lightings. The CFL fittings with higher rating wattage are replaced with LED fittings with lower wattage with the same luminous level .They are used in large numbers in Admin office, reception, seminar halls and corridors. LED lights are fitted on the roof walls in all the places.
Water Conservation
Our college has very good water management plan to support all our water needs including both ladies and gent’s hostel. The water management is well supported with rain water harvesting and sump. The ground water is circulated to all overhead tanks using borewells. The college also has a sewage treatment plant to do water recycling and use it for watering plants and to support green energy.
The rainwater is harvested to charge the rain water into the soil for ground water recharging. The storage of rainwater on surface is a traditional techniques and structures used were underground tanks, ponds, check dams, weirs etc. Due to certain difficulties on going ahead with traditional techniques the campus has installed 16 to 18 numbers of ground water recharging pits to recharge storm water/rainwater to maximum extent.
The borewells are constructed in water abundant points inside and outside college. The ground water was pumped to sump using borewell. There are totally 8 sumps inside the college to support water necessities to cover all blocks of the college including hostel. The sump and borewell are periodically monitored and maintained by plumbers and civil maintenance people to take immediate actions. The sump water is loaded to overhead tanks.
From the sump water is collected in overhead tank constructed at the top of each block. All blocks have overhead tanks to support water necessities. The water from overhead tank is separately treated by RO plant for drinking purpose. The drinking water is supplied in all blocks. A well-arranged pipe network connecting sumps and overhead tank to the water distributing point is established to support all water needs of the college.
The institution always has a motto in saving water for future. In this regard a Wastewater treatment plant of capacity 300KLD is available at the campus with present utilization value of about 2,10,000 litres per day. The technology that has been adopted this WWTP is FMBR (Floating Media Bioreactor) technology for the treatment of domestic sewage and other waste waters. This technology ensures that the quality of the treated water confirms to the standards and requirements as laid out by Central/State pollution control board and the same has been reviewed and approved by NABL authorized laboratory on periodic basis to ensure on the quality. The water recycled was used to gardening (70%), flushing toilets in Academic block (10%) and other custodial purposes like hardscape cleaning, washing etc. (30%).
