Look Back

Look Back

Last year, we started schooling at University of Kelaniya. When we looked at the subjects, we had to get registered for a GNCT subject that was compulsory in both first year and second year. But not including any credits and mentioning that everyone has to pass the subject to obtain the degree. It was well known as Personal progress development.

We leant many things from this PPD session not only to academic and university life but also life.


It was a different subject module with comparing other subject modules. We leant many things, we enjoyed team works, we got knowledge and we collected many unforgettable memories and experience because of this session during two years. We were developed many skills for our lives.

In conclusion we should say the PPD is the most important and essential subject module for undergraduate to collect knowledge, life experience, develop life skills and enjoy the university life externally to the academic works. We should thank for our Miss Sarasi Senadeera and university authority to create such subject module and those sessions.

Out Bound Training Program

Naval and Maritime Academy ?

Naval and Maritime Academy (NMA) plays the most prominent role by imparting professional training for both Officers and Senior / Junior ratings in Sri Lanka Navy (SLN). The Academy is situated within the picturesque Naval Dockyard, Trincomalee. Trincomalee is considered as one of the best natural harbours in the world with rich history of maritime affiliation.

Out Bound Training Program

We had an unforgettable life experience from the out of university environment for as a ppd session which is coordinated by Madam Miss Sarasi and government. We had to participate leadership training programme in Naval and Maritime Academy in Trincomalee. It was a great experience during our university life.

In the evening, we had a camp fire on beach along with a talent show. The next day we had our breakfast around 7 a.m. Then we were grouped and given a task to go through the jungle with only a map and a compass. It was a thrilling experience. Then we visited the naval museum.

In the afternoon we were arranged a best lunch by the naval officers. Then our training programme was over. We has great , amaizing and unforgettable experience from there. We should thank for that naval base and offices for giving such program to us..

Table Ethics and Etiquette

Table manners

We went to Sri lanaka institute of hotel management and Tourism as a filed visit.The Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism & Hotel Management (SLITHM) is the only Government approved premier Institute in Sri Lanka, which was established by the Government in 1964 to train young men and women in the complex field of Hospitality and Travel Industry.









At informal meals, place the napkin in your lap immediately upon seating. During formal occasions, before unfolding the napkin, wait for the hostess to remove her napkin from the table and unfold it in her lap.

• Place the napkin in your lap upon seating.
• When leaving the table temporarily, put the napkin on your chair.
• At the meal's end, fold your napkin and place it to the left of your place setting
• Hold your fork in your left hand, tines downward.
• Hold your knife in your right hand, an inch or two above the plate.
• Extend your index finger along the top of the blade.
• Use your fork to spear and lift food to your mouth.

And we learnt lot of things on that session.

Latest Software Engineering Trends

Technology is rapidly changing and as Software Engineering undergraduates we must be updated about what’s happening around us. Thankfully, the mobile company “hSenid” gave us opportunity learn about the new trends in software industry. To give this opportunity hSenid HR came and he did a great lecture about this.

In early there was communication with people. Then started communication with hardware and live ware. After that there was hardware to hardware communication. It introduce called IOT(Internet Of Things). Upcoming trend is communication with pets.

Automotive
We are going to see many interesting developments in this industry due to the major disruption started by Tesla. Obviously, we will see the launch of many more self-driving cars, but we will also see the entire connected car system become “smart.” Expect your car to predict the failure of a part and suggest some convenient times for you to go the mechanic, who will have the replacement part ready for you!

Big Data
Three big trends have shaped application development over the last several years: cloud, agile, and DevOps. In 2017, we’re going to see these trends hit data in a big way. We already see the effect of cloud in architectures that separate compute and data. Cloud-based blob stores like S3 have become the new data lake for many organizations. Agile practices will increasingly influence the work of data engineers and data scientists, enabling them to benefit from fast feedback cycles and continuous delivery of value. Finally, we’ll see database administrators leverage DevOps practices to automate deployment and orchestration of their data services, assisted by offerings like Pivotal Cloud Foundry’s data services that enable developer self-service through automation.

Cloud
At Bloomberg, our position in the global capital markets pushes us to understand the unique requirements of extreme network and systems availability. However, many companies across a diverse set of industries do not yet (fully) appreciate these requirements. As more and more organizations move their mission-critical systems to the cloud, we anticipate there may be a number of large scale incidents in 2017 (e.g., service outages, DDOS attacks, etc.) that cause businesses to realize the importance of implementing a multi-cloud strategy. It is our belief that enterprises will need to spread their chips around and utilize multiple cloud providers to achieve best-of-breed availability.

Data Science
In 2017, enterprises will increasingly migrate away from centralized, shared-service data science organizations in favor of embedding data scientists directly in business units and even making data scientists part of software development project teams. This will lead to better software that leverages data science to support “intelligent” features, such as personalized recommendations and intelligent automation.

Virtual Reality


For Virtual Reality (VR), 2017 is the year that content comes into focus. Hardware manufacturers will incentivize content creators and there will be increased investment in VR content led in large part by Asian-based investors. On the hardware front, manufacturers like HTC, Google, Oculus, and others will continue to iterate on their VR technology with a focus on computing efficiency and increased mobility.

Art of Living

THE ART OF LIVING 

Dr. Don Ajith Rohana Colonne is a student of Ananda College (Colombo), Thurstan College (Colombo) and Ananda Sastralaya (Kotte) in Sri Lanka. From 1974 to 1975, he attended the Loveland High School in Colorado, USA under the American Field Service (AFS) Cultural Exchange Scholarship Programme and graduated from there.

Upon his return to Sri Lanka in 1975, he entered the University of Colombo and got a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1979. Subsequently, he obtained the Master of Business Administration Degree from the Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM) of the University of Sri Jayawardenepura in 1994 and the Master of Arts in Economics Degree from the University of Colombo in 1996. In 2014 he obtained the Doctor of Philosophy degree from the International University of America.

DR. AjithE Collonne's lecture on art of living  is the most interesting lecture that i ever heard.AS he said we live in this word because of three reasons.

1)Happiness

2)Entertainment

3)Enjoyment

According to him When we Think about art of living - there is an art to everything and living well is no exception. Of any art, this would be the one to master since it encompasses all the others.  The art of living well is to make your life an expression of who you are , what you believe, and your hopes, dreams and desires. Of course, to create your life as a work of art is an ongoing, evolving, and creative endeavor. And so it should be.

Happiness

1.    Appreciate the nature

He discussed  how he enjoyed birds signing in his bunglow working in the military firm. And how beauty is his village daraniyagala and came to know it gets the highest rainfall in sri lanka

2.    You have to be a giat tree not a normal one or a vine which destroys the giant trees.

3.    He said in enjoying nature just take photographs and leave nothing behind its really heart touching.

4.    Have to enjoy the life with music and other stuff

5.    Need a time for relaxing

·       While his discussions he shared his experience in the National Intelligence services which he is currently supplying to the country. And how he came to his job

SUCCESS

1.Positive thinking

-Gave the example of half filled water glass it was quiet useful and how to think positively.

2. Self Confidence-Bill Clinton

3. Dedication with a runners example

4. Ready to face unexpected falldowns and should be careful with the people who are close to us.

5. Strategic thinking

6. Having the best Knowledge

7. Superstitions – How these things can be used to win the life and he shared his personal experience how to motivate ourself using those things and having mental relief.

We can make an art of living well by expressing ourselves, by being open and receptive to new experiences, and by living each moment to the fullest. We need only decide to do so.

So finally  we must thank a lot for Dr. Ajith Collonne for  conducting us a such a interesting amazing lecture on " Art of living" by combining his own life experiences 😌😌😌😌😌

Beauty Of University Of Kelaniya

About university of Kelaniya

The University of Kelaniya has its origin in the historic Vidyalankara Pirivena, founded in 1875 by Ratmalane Sri Dharmaloka Thera as a Centre of learning for Buddhist monks.

With the establishment of modern universities in Sri Lanka in the 1940s and 1950s, the Vidyalankara Pirivena became the Vidyalankara University in 1959, later the Vidyalankara Campus of the University of Ceylon in 1972, and, ultimately, the University of Kelaniya in 1978.

The University of Kelaniya has pioneered a number of new developments in higher education. It was one of the first universities to begin teaching science in Sinhala and the first to restructure the traditional Arts Faculty into three faculties: Humanities, Social Sciences, and Commerce and Management And also Computing faculty.

It has several departments not generally found in the Sri Lankan University system and some Kelaniya innovations have been adopted subsequently by other universities. These include the Departments of mathematics ,Physics, Chemistry and Microbiology in the Faculty of Science; Departments of Linguistics, Fine Arts, Modern Languages and Hindi in the Faculty of Humanities; and Mass Communication and Library and Information Sciences in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

The University of Kelaniya is the First State Green University and it has Beautiful Places.

I like to say I also part of University of Kelaniya..
