FOSTERING TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY

IEEE, a non-profit organization, is the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology. Through its 375,000 members, including 80,000 students, in more than 160 countries, IEEE membership brings you access to the latest technical information and research.

The IEEE name was originally an acronym for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. Today, the organization’s scope of interest has expanded into so many related fields, that it is simply referred to by the letters I-E-E-E (pronounced Eye-triple-E).

IEEE’s members help promote the technology and engineering profession by enabling affordable student membership, funding university program accreditation and introducing technology careers to young people around the world.

The official webpage of IEEE MCET SB, designed by Mr. Danith Krishna( S6 CS) was launched by Mr. Srinivasan R, Vice Chair, IEEE Kerala Section. There was a technical talk by Shri S.Gopakumar on The Ethics of Engineering and an interactive session with students by Mr. Srinivasan R. IEEE MCETSB in association with ISTE chapter MCET convened a talk on “Robotics – Stepstowards.

IEEE SB MCET conducted its first general body meeting of the year 2013 on 13th February, 2013. IEEE SB MCET PES chapter started functioning on 14th February, 2013 with Akhil I R as faculty advisor. Karthik Gopakumar, Aswathy Mohan, Sandhya Sathyan S, Parvathy Mohan and Ashish S Kumar of S5 CS attended a two day workshop on robotics at Government Engineering College, Barton Hill.On 16th & 17th of March IEEE SB MCET in association with Virscent Technologies conducted a two day workshop on Robotics named ‘TECHNOPETZ-ROBOTICS WORKSHOP 2013’ which saw a participation of around 90+ students.On 3rd & 4th of August IEEE SB MCET in association with Virscent Technologies conducted a two day workshop on Computer Vision Controlled Robotics named ‘SIXTH SENSE BOTICS’ which saw a participation of around 150 students from several colleges around the state.A 15 Member volunteer crew from IEEE SB MCET volunteered the IEEE GHTC SAS 2013 held at Technopark.

IEEE MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT DRIVE

An online ieee membership development drive was held on March 11 2022 to give students an awareness about ieee activities and its membership benefits. Mr.Madhav Sankar R Warrier, Ex- chairman of the IEEE SB MCET, presided over the session. He shared his experience in IEEE and how it transformed his life.

WEBINAR: THE NEW AGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

On April 9, 2022, a webinar with the topic “the new age of engineering and management” was conducted. Mr. Adhithya Sankar, a graduate of the MCET, spoke throughout the session. The session covered the theory and practise of engineering management, a field that has grown significantly over the past forty years to become one with a wide range of applications. The session gave the students an understanding of how the concepts of systems analysis, risk management, requirements engineering, and product and process complexity are used to distinguish the distinctive characteristics of engineering management, making it a very real discipline of research, study, and practice.

POSTER DESIGN CONTEST

As part of National Technology Day on May 9, 2022, a poster design competition was organised. “Technology for a sustainable development” was the topic. Anupama V of S6 EEE MCET was chosen as the winner from among the many students who submitted their entries.

TECH TALK: COMPUTER VISION

On May 4, 2022, a technical discussion on the subject of computer vision was held in the CGPC Hall-MCET. The speaker was Mr.Jerome S ,IEEE SB MCET Chairman. Students studied in this session how computer vision, a branch of artificial intelligence, would affect the development of edge-deployable smart apps and digital business transformation. Computer vision is altering how we digitise video feeds and utilise that data to construct “smart settings” in the real world, from enhanced fire alarms to fall detection. .The session also gave an introduction to computer vision using OPENCV.

WEBINAR: INTRODUCTION TO NANOTECHNOLOGY

On June 24, 2022, a webinar on “introduction to nanotechnology” was held. Mr. Jithin J Jose, Chairman, IEEE Photonics SB Chapter CUSAT, delivered the talk.
