Technovision Workshop ’19

  1. DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING:

The workshop was held on 27th -28th August 2019 by Prof. Sharmik Admane (EN Dept.) and Prof. Vipul Lande (ECE Dept.).  This 2 days hand-on DSP workshop gave the opportunity to explore and develop real-time DSP programs in a laboratory environment and strengthen the student’s understanding of the DSP concepts. The workshop was based on a low-cost development platform Cypress Spansion FM4 (ARM’s Cortex-M4 Processor) with on-board Audio codec. This workshop provides a complete working set of audio signal processing concepts with hand-on approach:

  • Design and execute application code embedded platform.
  • Strengthen the student’s understanding of underlying DSP concepts.
  • Gain experience in working with modern day ARM’s Cortex-M4 Microcontroller.

  1. GLACIER- TRENDS IN HEATING, VENTILATION and AIR CONDITIONING:

This workshop was held on 28th August 2019 (Wednesday) at Industrial Auditorium, Industrial Department in coordination with ISHRAE Chapter, RCOEM. This workshop aims to impart knowledge and technical skills in the field of Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) among the students. The workshop includes sessions on Indoor Air Quality, Ventilation, Air Conditioning Systems and hands on experience on the various components of the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning systems along with the tools being used to maintain the various systems. The outcome of the workshop will be that the students will be able to understand the working principle of various Refrigeration and Air Conditioning systems. The hands on experience on the tools and various components of the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning systems would make them techno savvy.

Guest and Speakers: Mr. Kedar Patki (Regional Director, West Zone, ISHRAE),  Mr. Sudhir Raje (President, ISHRAE Chapter, Nagpur), Mr. Chirag Bhayani and Mr. Malviya.

  1. MODERN SURVEYING TECHNIQUES:

Around 62 participants from various colleges and institutions like RCOEM, Wainganga, Govt. Polytechnic, G. H. Raisoni Academy and   G. H. Raisoni COE were the parts of this workshop.

First  session “introduction to advanced Surveying technique” was taken by Mr. Sandeep Shirkhedkar. Sir, briefed  about the  major modern surveying techniques used worldwide like GIS , GPS, EDM ,Echo sounder and  Total station, then, one of the case study of 9 buildings as a part of building complex in Madinah ,KSA . He described about how modern surveying techniques is used on field for large scale surveying project. Second session started taken by Mr. Sarang Paranjpe ,he elaborated on Total Station ,its components ,its merits and demerits ,Field applications , Principle of working of total station , how to draft points taken by the observations from total station using AutoCAD , type of total station available in market based on accuracy and precision of working. Third session taken by Mr. Aman Dhundhele, it was Demonstration of total station, he briefed us about how to setup total station and its working , at the end each and every participant were allowed to perform practical on total station.

  1. FAMILIARIZATION WITH SOLAR POWER SYSTEM:

The workshop was conducted by the electrical department of RCOEM. The lecture was given by, Prof. M.M Renge, Prof.  Gaurav Goyal and Prof.  Sawarkar.  Key points covered in the workshop were:

  • Materials used to manufacture silicon based solar cells.
  • Principal of operation.
  • Problems that are to be solved and the major fields of research
  • Visit to installed system and information of the components used along with the panels.
  • Brief introduction to the on-grid and off-grid systems.

  1. MACHINE LEARNING USING PYTHON:

The workshop was held on 28th-29th of August 2019 by CSE department of RCOEM.

Speaker:  Shantanu Vishwanadha – Co-founder and CEO at ProChat, Community Organizer of Google Developers group.

Basics of python were taught on the first day and Machine learning basics were covered on the second day. CSE’s HOD interacted with the students and felicitated the speaker on the first day after lunch break. The speaker taught students about basic python which was required to code in machine learning. He taught the commands, syntaxes which are used in python. The workshop has the basic idea of machine learning of what machine learning is and how does it works, what algorithms are used. Next day i.e. on 29th August students were given some codes in python to practice. The workshop gave knowledge about how to make and train own google assistant in the practical session. Also during all this practical and theory sessions, the speaker took various quizzes to make it more interesting. Overall, the workshop was a success and proved to be very helpful for students.
