Workshop on Robotics and Aeromodelling

The IEEE KSIT SPS Chapter in association with Garut Aeromodelling Club and the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, organized a two-day workshop on Robotics and Aeromodelling on 26th and 27th December 2022. The event featured external trainers who instructed students on the principles of  aeromodelling and robotics. Approximately 20 teams, each comprising 40 members, took part in the workshop. On the first day of the workshop, the attendees were introduced to the basics of aerodynamics and were guided in the construction of Hydro Rocket Models. The students then had the opportunity to launch their completed rockets. On the second day, further computer vision projects were demonstrated, and the students were trained on the use of the Intel Galileo Board to build robotics-related mini-projects. The resource person was Nishanth K from Keysight Technologies. 

Induction and Membership Drive

On 04th, 05th , and 08th September 2023, IEEE EXECOM of KSIT SB conducted the Induction program for   the First Year Students  who joined KSIT.

Project Exhibition

Project exhibition for final year students was conducted on April 30th, 2023. The students exhibited and demonstrated their working models along with the posters. There were 28 teams, with around 3-4 students in a team. The students explained their projects, their implementation methodology, and their applications to the  judge. Students presented the project in the areas of Embedded Systems, Communication Systems, Image Processing, Signal Processing, and Renewable energy. The projects were judged based on the Depth of knowledge, Technology and Modern Tool Usage, Impact on Society and environment, Communication Skills Innovation, and demonstration. The event provided a great platform for the students to exhibit the work done, showcase their technical talents, and improve communication skills which help in lifelong learning.
