The team presented a Module for Pothole detection and Mapping it on GMaps using IoT. Indian roads have many potholes which causes lots of accidents. This particular hardware kit helps the public to detect the pothole, noise and illuminance level of the road and label it on the Google map in all seasons even in night time. It uses IoT approach, which is an efficient method in storing and retrieving data for quick use.
The Hackathon at Christ University began with a short presentation by the experts from TATA Group. There were two rounds of evaluation and the judges had several suggestions to improvise the module. The team was shortlisted for the top four, which was to pitch the product to the Jury and the audience and won 3rd prize from among the 25 teamswho qualified for the finals.
Guest Lecture by Mr. Reginald Lourd Raj R, Doctoral Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IISc- Bangalore

Mr. Reginald started his lecture be introducing Newton’s laws, which form the foundations of Jet and Rocket propulsion. This was followed by a clear classification of chemical rockets, based on the propellants, size, applications, etc. The construction and working principles of Solid propellant, Liquid Propellant and Hybrid Rocket engines were covered in detailed. The performance of various solid and liquid fuels was compared and studied. The final part of the lecture dealt with Thrust generation and performance of rocket motors. Concepts of Thrust, Specific impulse, propulsive efficiency, thermal efficiency, thrust coefficient, weight flow coefficient, characteristic velocity was derived from fundamentals. Several problems that appeared in the past Anna university papers were solved. The students were provided with his lecture slides, a Problem sheet and a Summary Sheet.
