This was the next level of line follower. The students are required to build fully autonomous bots that can solve a line maze. More than 6 teams participated in this event.
 
The Circuit Art
This competition was based on the skill of solving electrical circuits. The first round was a quiz where all the participants were tested on their basic skillset of solving simple electrical circuits. The second round was held in the DECO Lab where students had to solve a real life problem by developing a digital logic for it. More than 100 students participated in the event.
 
Open Micro Challenge
The students were tested on their programming skills. The competition was based on the microcontroller programming. The event was held in the IPC lab with more than 70 students participating in the event.
 
Paper Presentations
Paper Presentations were invited from all students in the fields of electrical, electronics and communications. More than 500 students applied for the preliminary round, out of which only 300 were selected. The further rounds were reviewed by the faculty. 
 
Workshop on Sixth Sense Technology
A workshop on the revolutionary Sixth Sense Technology was conducted by the association with the help of the Students Union. This two day workshop kick started with good response and lots of excitement among the participants, the first day of the workshop took the participants through the basics of using ARDUINO and coding in MATLAB, the dynamics of robots and a lot more.
TechniQ on 23rd November 2012

A general quiz on electrical, electronics and communications was conducted to test the awareness of the students. 

PHoEnix Talks by Mr.Chetan Kumar.V on 13th February 2013

The second session of PHoEnix Talks was given by Mr. Chetan Kumar V. The event had an amazing response from the students. Mr. Chetan guided us through a variety of important issues which include placements, higher studies and a thorough approach to optimum utilization of four years studying electronics.

PHoEnix Talks by Mr. M. K. Kaushik on 25th March 2013

The third session of PHoEnix Talks was given by Mr. Kaushik, one of the Ph.D. scholars on campus working on communications. The talk was focused on the basics of communications which included LTE, Cognitive Radio, Ad Hoc Radio, etc. All the students got direction to work in the field of communications. This talk was one of those which was held to bridge the gap between first degree and higher degree students.

Home Automation Workshop (15 Sept 2017)

Home Automation workshop (pictures) was conducted by the PHoEnix association on 14th and 15th of September as a part of “Engineer’s Day”. The workshop was taken by the R Ganesh Varma and PV Nikhilanj, accompanied by the tech-team members, C Satcheel reddy, C Vineel and B Akhil Raj. There was a participation of about 120 students from all batches and streams, grouped into 60 teams. A kit was distributed to every team that consisted of : 

 

  1. NodeMCU
  2. Relay
  3. Ultrasonic Sensor
  4. LED
  5. Resistance Box
  6. Breadboard
  7. Male and female jumper wires

The workshop was intended to give a detailed introduction to microcontrollers, networking, NodeMCU and data transfer between a phone and the board. Further, switching on a relay using one’s phone, interfacing with a ultrasonic sensor, connecting the NodeMCU with the internet using Facebook messenger and MQTT protocol to send data to the board was planned to be dealt in the workshop. With this knowledge, we expect the students to play around with the kit to make their own home automation systems incorporating different sensors. One such example of a system that was given by the tech-team is an ‘Anti-Theft System’ incorporating the ultrasonic sensor. This gives a huge push to the students who are getting started in circuit design and IOT.

Due to a huge turnout, longer than expected Q/A and debugging sessions, couple of topics from the aforementioned list weren’t covered in the given time frame. An additional session can be expected in the next couple of days that will wrap the workshop and give some more time for additional queries.
