Revista 2017-2018From the Editor’s DeskRevista 2017-18 is yet another milestone which showcases the giant leap taken by Rajalakshmi EngineeringCollege from the academic year 2016-17 to 2017-18. The march of this institution towards progress and glory isbrought out in a nutshell in the Annual College Magazine Revista 2017-18.Students were offered a host of opportunities which enabled them to hone their skills in co-curricular activities.The achievements of Faculty members who have made a difference, comes alive in this magazine. Thecontributions of many students and faculty have transformed the life as well as the quality of educationimparted in Rajalakshmi Engineering College. The end of this academic year is the opening to yet another yearof dreams and fulfillment We look with gratitude towards God Almighty with whose blessing we travelledon the road to success. Our special gratitude goes to the ever supportive and dynamic Chairperson ofRajalakshmi Engineering College, Dr.(Mrs.) Thangam Meganathan, without whom all this would not havehappened. Our thanks to the Principal, Deans, Heads of all Departments and to all the faculty members fortheir support and cooperation.Mrs. LathaViswanathAssociate ProfessorDepartment of English viii

ARTICLES CONTRIBUTIONS BY FACULTY MEMBERS USAGE OF SMART PHONES - A BOON OR BANE Invasion of technology in society has changed the human life to a great extent.Especially, rate of advancement in communication has reduced the distance and paved theway for globalization and connectivity. Telephones have taken different forms starting fromlandline phones to wireless device like walkie-talkie, pagers, mobile phone and today we arewith smart phone. The technology embedded in this device makes it smart such that it is ableto perform multitask in less time and more accurately. It is no more a device but a minicomputer makes our life comfortable like performing business while travelling, keeping trackof vehicle movement through GPS, making reading material available for students etc.However its smartness attracts many people to involve for much longer time creating bighazard to the society and to their own health. Especially youngsters have forgotten physicalexercise and adhere to this type of electronic gadgets which leads to increase in obesity, theirinterpersonal relationship is affected in the sense they become more intolerant to criticism.Young parents spend more time in social network than with their children and so the nextgeneration is affected. Above all, the electromagnetic radiation coming out of this phoneand its tower is slowly takeing away our health. The spectrum of sun light is spread overentire visible range (400 to 700 nm), human eye is designed only for this range. However thespectrum of light from smart phone is more intense near blue light. Long term exposure tothis high energy light would definitely affect the vision. Presently phones are becomingsmarter than man. So technology is boon or bane depends on the right usage for the rightapplication. No doubt change is inevitable, “has existed and always will”, adaptation is oneimportant thing to be practised for the betterment of our society.Dr. R. KalpanaDeanDept. of Biomedical Engineering 1
