Robotics Workshop 2015

 

The IEEE-RCOEM student branch conducted a Robotics workshop on the 5th and 6th of September 2015. It was a very unique workshop where various teams got an opportunity to not only understands the theoretical concepts of Robotics but could actually implement them using a kit provided to every team. The workshop started with an introduction to Robotics explaining the current trends and the research areas that are currently being explored. This helped all teams to really understand what was going to happen over the next two days. The teams then started with the actual activity wherein they learned the nuances of Robotics using the kit provided to them. Over a course of two days, all students interested in Robotics were exposed to it starting from the basics such as sensors and microcontrollers and going right up to the final assembly of a robotic kit. This was followed by a competition amongst the participants. The entire workshop was appreciated a lot by the participants for its simplicity which let students totally unaware of Robotics built a Robot all by themselves.

IEEE Xtreme Programming Competition

IEEE Xtreme Programming competition is a global challenge in which teams of student members compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. Two teams of our college have participated in the programming competition on 24th October 2015.

SKEP Sessions

SKEP sessions are typically held in the lecture-cum-demonstration format and are intended to be highly interactive. The platform provided is expected to be a perfect avenue for industry-institute-academia interactions with ideas, opinions, and visions being exchanged freely. Active participation of the audience during the sessions is highly desirable. They are usually 2 hours in duration and are held on Saturday afternoons. The venues of SKEP programmes span colleges and other institutions spread over length and breadth of this Section’s geography. Professionals are expected to benefit from continuing education and skill upgradation. In addition, this program seeks to motivate and inspire the young student community and endow them with a rare insight into what the industry has to offer and its expectations, thus helping them ease their entry into corporate life.

Guest lecture on Technical Paper writing and Patent filing

A Guest lecture on “Technical Paper writing and Patent filing” by Dr. P. R. Gandhi was Organized on 29th July 2016 at Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and Management, Nagpur by IEEE-RCOEM student branch. Around 126 UG and PG Students of various branches like Electronics, Electronics and Communication, EDT, Electrical and Civil Engineering attended the program. Some faculty members also attended the lecture. In his lecture, Dr. Gandhi described the procedure to file a patent and explained how to write a technical paper.

Guest Lecture by Thai research scholar


IEEE RCOEM Student Branch in association with IEEE Bombay Section organized a guest lecture of renowned research scholar Dr. Monai Krairiksh from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang Bangkok, Thailand on 24th August 2016. Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and Management as a part of its commitment to provide world-class technical education organized Dr. Monai Krairiksh’s guest lecture on “Remote Sensing of the Physical Qualities of Fruits.”

In his lecture, Dr. Monai said that non-destructive determination of dielectric properties of materials is essential in various applications to monitor the nature of an object. Apart from many techniques like near infrared (NIR), X-ray, ultrasonic, and so on, a microwave-based technique is of interest due to its low cost, high accuracy, and small size. In his talk, he further explained the various ways and modern techniques of ripening of fruits and their application in real time. While felicitating the guest speaker on this occasion, Dr. R.S.Pande, the Principal of the college reiterated that college leaves no stone unturned to provide the latest and contemporary technical knowledge to the students developed in any corner of the world. Dr.(Mrs.) R. R. Khandelwal introduced the speaker.
