Our guest speaker was Ms.Debasmita Sen, an Assistant Professor from the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences. Her background in humanities provided a unique interdisciplinary perspective to the students of the Computer Science department, focusing on cognitive skill development.
Objectives of the Session
The primary goals of the event included:
1. Introducing students to the concept of "Cognitive Reframing" to view challenges as opportunities.
2. Building mental resilience to handle the rigors of technical education and future professional roles.
3. Bridging the gap between technical expertise and emotional intelligence.
Outcomes :
Based on the objectives of the session "Reframing Challenges: Cognitive Skills for Resilient Youth," the following outcomes were achieved:
1. Improved Cognitive Flexibility: Students learned to identify rigid thought patterns and apply reframing techniques to approach academic and personal problems from multiple perspectives.
2. Enhanced Stress Management: Participants gained practical cognitive tools to maintain emotional stability and focus during high-pressure situations, such as exams or technical project deadlines.
3. Shift to a Growth Mindset: The session fostered an attitude where challenges are viewed as essential components of the learning process rather than permanent failures.
4. Increased Self-Awareness: By engaging with clinical psychology concepts, students developed a better understanding of their own mental triggers and how to manage them
effectively.
5. Interdisciplinary Skill Integration: Computer Science students successfully integrated social science concepts—specifically cognitive skills—into their professional development toolkit, aligning with the goal of "Maximising Human Potential".
6. Strengthened Resilience: Students are now better equipped to persist through the long-term challenges of the tech industry, reducing the risk of burnout through improved mental resilience.
The guest session "Reframing Challenges: Cognitive Skills for Resilient Youth" concluded as a significant step toward the holistic development ofstudents within the Department ofComputer Science. By hosting Ms. Debasmita Sen from the Faculty ofHumanities & Social Sciences, the university successfully fostered an interdisciplinary dialogue that underscored the importance of mental health and cognitive agility in technical education.
The program effectively met its goal of "Maximising Human Potential" by providing participants with actionable psychological strategies to transform perceived failures into constructive learning experiences. The transition from a theoretical understanding ofresilience to the practical application ofcognitive reframing techniques ensures that the students are better prepared for the competitive demands ofthe tech industry.
Under the guidance ofDr. Kailas Patil, Dr. Pavitha Nooji, and Dr. Rajkumar Jagdale, the event emphasized that technical proficiency must be paired with emotional resilience to achieve long-term professional success.
