A two day workshop on ARDUINO was conducted by the core team of EFY KCG Tech center exclusively for students of ECE department on Friday 04 Aug 2017 and Saturday 05 Aug 2017.The program commenced at 9.00 am at the EFY LAB, Aero Block. The Chief Resource Person was Dr.V.Subbaroyan, Professor, ECE Department and he was well supported by the core team members of EFY KCG Tech Center, Ms.B.Thyla, Mr.T.Thomas Leonid and Mr.K.Sivachandar. 20 students of the ECE Department attended the Program.
First session was introduction to the Arduino and how to start up with the tools. Arduino is and inexpensive, cross platform, simple and clear programming environment. After the Tea break at 10.40 am the next sessions on few sketches like LED blink and sequence of LED blink was outlined. Participants found few programs like LCD display, seven segment display and Bluetooth module very interesting and got involved in doing further programs. Many other fun filled projects were done by the participants in the afternoon session.
This workshop was organized to facilitate the student to effectively use ARDUINO software to undertake projects and research work. The sessions were completely hands on, increasing the confidence of the participants in using the tools and the trainers were adept at clarifying the questions that arose during the session relating theory concepts studied to practical issues.

Project e-Yantra is an initiative to spread education in embedded systems and Robotics by IIT Bombay sponsored by Ministry of Human Resource Development through the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT). The objective of e-Yantra is to provide hands-on learning to engineering students, creating the next generation of engineers in India with a practical outlook to take on challenging problems and provide solutions.
KCG College of Technology is a member of e-Yantra and has set up a state of the art laboratory under the e-Yantra Lab Set-up Initiative (eLSI).The KCG e-Yantra Robotics Lab trains students in embedded systems and micro-controller programming by engaging them through the Project Based Learning (PBL) mode.
The KCG e-Yantra Robotics Lab is offering a Certificate Course in Robotics & Embedded Systems. The course is of 14 hours duration (2 days). The registration fee is Rs 1650 per person.
The course for a batch of 24 students (ECE 3A) was conducted on 4 and 5August 2017. The 2 day course was conducted by Aida Jones (Asst. Professor, ECE), Renganayaki G (Assoc. Professor, ECE), S. Subash Chandra Bharathi (Asst. Professor, EEE), Feba Sosa Abraham (Asst. Professor, ECE) and Bhavani Bharathi G (Asst. Professor, EIE). The students were introduced to Embedded Systems and Robotics using the Firebird V robot which uses the Atmega 2560 as the master microcontroller and Atmel 8 as the slave. Programming the robot using Embedded C via the Atmel Studio 4 programming environment, compiling the program using WinAVR and downloading the program using AVR Bootloader were taught to the students.
Activity based learning was used to give the students a good grasp of theoretical aspects through practical work. Motion Control using I/O ports, robot velocity control using PWM, LCD and buzzer interfacing, Analog sensor interfacing using ADC, White line following robot, Interrupt Programming, Closed loop position control using position encoder were the various tasks undertaken by the students. The students used a variety of sensors and actuators for the tasks. The skill set targeted included Embedded C Programming skills, practical implementation skills, problem solving skills and team work.
The students were evaluated through a project assigned to teams of 4 students each on the last day. The project incorporated all the tasks they had undertaken.
Report on Quiz Contest for second year ECE Students on 17.08.2017
The department of ECE and IETE organized technical quiz contest for the welfare of students second year students on 17 August 2017 at Optical lab, between 10.20 a.m. and 11.10 a.m. Dr. V. Subbaroyan, Professor & Head/ECE, inaugurated the contest. Eleven students participated in the event. Arun Kumar S. secured the first prize, Ramya D. S. secured the second prize and third prize is shared by Kothaai R. & Nivedha V. V. Dr. Jose Anand, Associate Professor/ECE, & IETE Student Forum (ISF) Co-ordinator, co-ordinated the event.
The department of Mechanical Engineering organized a one day workshop on “Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0)” at Mirza Seminar Theatre on 19.08.17. The workshop was presented by Mr C.V. Gowri Shankar who is a well known figure among the quality control circles of various industries. Students from various departments attended the workshop and got to see a glimpse of what “Industry 4.0” exactly is.
The workshop discussed about the future of the global industrial scenario where “automation” and “artificial Intelligence” will soon replace many “mundane” and repetitive tasks in industries which were once done by human labor. The workshop predicted that as industries become more and more automated, the future engineer must be equipped with new skill sets to cope up with these developments. Students and future engineers must now realize that merely graduating with a degree is no longer enough to achieve a successful career in engineering, rather they must take the initiative to learn new things and develop intellectually in order to make themselves employable in the future.
The workshop depicted that the new role of human beings in this age of automation is to develop, analyze and apply various concepts like artificial intelligence, IOT, CAPP, Cloud computing, data analysis, condition based monitoring and maintenance etc. to the industrial fields. Mr. Shankar encouraged the students to broaden their horizons and equip themselves with new and trending skill sets to adapt to this new “Industrial Revolution”.
The workshop was indeed an eye-opener for all and helped the students to be aware of the future trends in the global industrial field.

Around 15 students from EWB-KCG students chapter have volunteered in the RTE awareness program conducted by Bhumi on 26/08/2017 at 8:00 am in ambedhkar nagar ,Adampakkam. Mr.Hitesh ,member of Bhumi and his colleagues guided us and gave information regarding Right To Education scheme.
The Right to Education Act mandates that all private aided schools have to reserve 25% seats for the children from disadvantaged or economically weaker sections from neighborhood. Their complete education is free and the admission happens only at class LKG, unfortunately the people who can benefit from this are unaware of this or the procedure. Through RTE Act 42 children have already secured admission during the first two phases.
We created awareness among parents and local people around the area, by discussing the importance and procedure for applying admission under RTE Act. We collected few personal details of the family members who were willing to join their children. We know that Education is the process of facilitating learning, skills, values, beliefs and habits, which enthusiast us for participating as volunteer in creating awareness for RTE Act and we are pleased to be a volunteer.
