AICTE IDEA LAB

The AICTE IDEA Lab at PACE Institute of Technology and Sciences(PACE ITS) is a cutting-edge facility designed to promote creativity, innovation, and experiential learning among students. As part of the AICTE initiative, the IDEA Lab at PACE ITS provides students with access to advanced tools, technologies, and collaborative spaces to turn their ideas into practical solutions.

AICTE-IDEA (Idea Development, Evaluation & Application) Labs are being established across the country for encouraging students for application of science, technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) fundamentals towards enhanced hands-on experience, learning by doing and even product visualization. As a common facility embedded in the institution, the IDEA Lab will make engineering graduates more imaginative and creative, besides getting basic training in the 21st century skills like- critical thinking, problem solving, design thinking, collaboration, communication, lifelong learning etc. IDEA Lab can empower the students and faculty to “engage, explore, experience, express and excel”, addressing the need of new age learning. IDEA Lab would serve as an infrastructure for faculty to take up and promote multidisciplinary education and research. Accordingly, faculty would be encouraged to get trained in these Labs and strive for creating problems/ projects/ internships in their own subjects/ disciplines and mentor the students.

Vision for the IDEA Lab
  • Creating an environment where creativity and innovation thrive through collaboration and access to cutting-edge technologies, including advances in artificial intelligence.
  • Providing a platform for individuals to transform ideas into tangible products, encouraging entrepreneurs and fostering a robust startup ecosystem.
  • Engaging with local communities to identify and address pressing challenges in agriculture, aquaculture, and manufacturing through innovative approaches and AI-driven solutions, thus contributing to regional development and sustainability.
  • Promoting the development of indigenous technologies and products towards the development of the nation's economy and promoting the "Make in India" initiative and "Atmanirbhar Bharat" (Self-Reliant India).

Integration of IDEA Lab with existing facilities
  • Center for Excellence in Internet of Things (IoT): Facility available with ECE Department and the COE is well equipped with IOT devices and related software’s to build IOT based technology solutions.
  • Center for Excellence in DRONE: The Facility is available with Electronics and Communication department for providing solution to Agriculture, Transportation and surveillance etc.
  • Center for Excellence in Artificial Intelligence (AI): A facility available in CSE department with high-end servers for AI related application across diversity domain
Alignment with national initiatives/Technology vision 2035/SDGs/MSME/specific cross – section of society/any specialization:
  • Technology Vision 2035: The IDEA lab Transforming agriculture through technology to ensure food safety and sustainability (precision forming and drone technology).
  • SDGs: The IDEA Lab focused on developing AI-driven sustainable manufacturing solutions.
  • MSME: To provide mentorship and training on cutting-edge technologies and facilitate access to machines and tools available 24/7 in the IDEA Lab.
  • Specific cross-section of society: IDEA Lab provides a platform for skill development to underprivileged students in the nearby community.
  • IDEA Lab provides a platform for startups and MSMEs to contribute towards “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
Plan for sustenance of IDEA Lab beyond two years:
  • To develop income by providing consultancy services and conducting workshops for MSMEs, educational institutions, etc.
  • To develop intellectual property, including patents and copyrights, to protect innovation and generate revenue through commercializing innovative projects.
  • To strengthen collaboration between industry, academic institutions, and MSMEs for sharing resources for revenue generation.
  • To engage the IDEA Lab in addressing societal needs by involving NGOs, thereby reaching a larger community.
