The IEEE - VESIT Student Branch has planned the following activities for the months from January 1999 till March 1999.

• Technical Talks and Technical Film Shows

Each of three technical talks and film shows are planned to be conducted in the first week of January and the second and third weeks of February.

• Technical Tours

We propose to conduct a technical tour in the last week of January, to some companies in Bombay.

• Other Contests

We also propose to conduct the following contests:

• Webpage design and T - Shirt design contest in the first two weeks of January. The winning T- Shirt design will be used for the IEEE - VESIT Student Branch T - Shirt. The winning webpage designer will be allowed to give a new look to the IEEE - VESIT Student Branch webpage.

• Software design contest in the first week of February. The software contest theme, is to design a quizzing software, that has in-built difficulty levels, and different rounds. Thus, the aim of the software is to simulate an actual quiz.

• Article Writing Contest in the third week of January.

• Hardware Design Contest in the first two weeks of January. The IEEE - VESIT Student Branch plans to participate for a Design Contest/Exhibition called Elecrama - 99, which is an all India Design contest. The IEEE -VESIT Student Branch will represent the college at this exhibition.

 

The projects proposed are on Laser Communication, and on Robotics. All student members will be actively involved with this project, and we have already commenced work on the project proposal that is to be submitted to the college management. The Branch will be totally funded for these projects by the college.

• Annual Symposium

The IEEE - VESIT Student Branch plans to conclude its activities for the year 1998 - 99 with its Annual Symposium to be held in mid March. We plan to make the event intercollegiate, where student members from all IEEE Student Branches in Bombay will be invited to participate.

The Annual Technical Symposium is proposed to be a four day event, and will have the following content.

• Student Professional Awareness Conference (S - PAC) consisting of guest speakers who will introduce student participants to career opportunities and co-curricular activities that we as engineers shouldn’t neglect.

• Technical Games, such as dumb charades, pictionaries, and treasure hunts. The aim behind this, is to make some of the events slightly informal to generate student enthusiasm and participation.

• Technical Workshops; content for the technical workshops are yet to be decided.

• Technical Lectures, conducted by well qualified and industry seasoned professionals.

• Intercollegiate Technical Quiz, where all participants can pit their wits and technical knowledge against the quizmaster.

We plan to fund this Annual Symposium with the help from the IEEE Bombay Section and by seeking sponsorship.
