MOU SIGNED for IEEE _EPICS with INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Trichy, May 25, 2018: IEEE, EPICS Purdue inks a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Trichy, for building upon their shared interests and experience, to work together to encourage students to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of technology and its uses in improving their local communities by way of establishing a curriculum. Specific goals for the collaboration are:

· To develop a 3-5 year plan to include the EPICS framework into their curriculum.

· To review submitted proposals for the EPICS in IEEE collaboration and promote the project by providing needed resources and guidance.

The MoU signing was conducted in the presence of Prof Mini Shaji Thomas, Director, NIT Trichy and Prof.S.K.Ramesh, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, College of Engineering and Computer Science, California State University, Northridge in his capacity as Vice President, IEEE Educational Activities and President, IEEE-HKN(the Electrical Engineering Honor Society).

MOU SIGNED for IEEE _EPICS with INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Speaking on the occasion, Prof.Ramesh, who also happens to be an alumnus of NIT Trichy, said “EPICS in IEEE is an IEEE Foundation Signature Program that helps advance science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) learning by providing real-world learning experiences that attract young people to the engineering profession. This new collaboration with India is part of a pilot program spearheaded by EPICS in IEEE and Purdue University. As part of the EPICS in IEEE curricula, students from partner institutions will team up with local non-profit organizations and apply technical knowledge to solve engineering-based problems that will improve the lives of their communities in India. EPICS in IEEE leaders will provide oversight for the implementation of the new curricula and ultimately provide guidance for the development of new pedagogies to enhance student learning in engineering”.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Mini Thomas said, “EPICS is a classic case of empowering students and impacting communities. It is twin occasion of MoU with EPICS and also inauguration of the activities of the IEEE student branch for 2018. It is a proud moment that both these activities are happening in the presence of our alumnus who is representing IEEE, EPICS. Students and staff are already engaged in community service in many ways. This MoU with IEEE, EPICS will give a great push to these activities in terms of engaging students in developing grass root level technology to cater to the community needs. Unlike metro cities, the community around this Institute is quite rural and backward and hence lot of scope for intervention. Across the road, there is whole lot of SME community that could be impacted” she said

NIT Trichy is ranked the best among NITs (NIRF 11 among technical Institutions) and runs 10 under graduate and 28 post graduate and Ph D programs.

About IEEE: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Incorporated (“IEEE”), was founded in 1884 with Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison among its charter members. IEEE, a not-for-profit corporation with its corporate headquarters at New York, is the world’s largest engineering organization, with over 420,000 members in more than 160 countries, focusing on advancing the theory and practice of electrical technologies, electronics, power engineering, robotics and automation, computer engineering, computer science, and other related technologies, and advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.

About IEEE, Student Branch: At present, IEEE SB of NIT-T has about 50 active student members from both Engineering and Science disciplines. Starting from its inception, the SB of NIT-T is very active in organizing various technical activities like seminars, short-term courses, workshops, etc., for the benefit of students to stay abreast of current technology and networking.

About Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS): EPICS Program was initiated at Purdue University in 1995 to fulfill the complementary needs of engineering undergraduates and the community. Under this program undergraduate students earn academic credit for their contributions to long-term team-based design projects that deliver technology-based solutions to problems identified by non-profit organizations in the community. Key features of the EPICS model include the following attributes: community partners, long term student participation, variable credit hours, multidisciplinary teams, start-to-finish design experience.

RAJESWARI CHATTERJEE – THE FIRST WOMAN SCIENTIST TO PIONEER THE FIELD OF MICROWAVE ENGINEERING IN INDIA

Rajeswari Chatterjee – The first Woman Scientist to pioneer the Field of Microwave Engineering in India Professor Rajeswari Chatterjee lived a fulfilled life as reflected in her own words “Lucky to be where I am” in her biography. Brilliant in studies, professionally accomplished, sharp in intellect and memory, courageous and forthright in expressing views coupled with a kind personality having deep concern for societal issues such as caste discrimination and women’s education, her life spanning Jan.1922 to Sept. 2010, stands tall to inspire, particularly young women scientists and engineers. Rajeswari had her early education in a “Special English School” set up by her grandmother, Kamalamma Dasappa, in the ‘Mahila Seva Samaj’ in Basavanagudi, Bangalore. Kamalamma was one of the very first women graduates in the erstwhile Mysore State and had played a pioneering role in social reform and for the emancipation of women. Growing up in a well-educated, bro

SMITH CHART DESIGNED ON A CAKE WITH TECHNICAL MEASUREMENS for the first time in the WORLD

SMITH CHART DESIGNED ON A CAKE WITH TECHNICAL MEASUREMENS for the first time in the WORLD Smith Chart design on a Cake Smith Chart is a pictorial chart through which one can calculate complicated Transmission line (HIGH FREQUENCY MICROWAVE CIRCUIT THEORY) computations. In a second numerical answers can be found. This will be useful in WIRLESS COMMUNICATIONS and other microwave communications. Microwave Integrated Circuit components can be designed. Matching can be done.Amplifiers and Oscillators design can be made easy. The chart was found by Ph.Smith during 1938. The M.Tech first year ECE students under the guidance of Dr S Raghavan, Professor, ECE dept., N I T Trichy came out for the first time with the novel idea of DESIGNING the same through the cake.

FATHER OF RADIO WHO MADE INDIA PROUD

JC BOSE PEN SKETCH JC BOSE is the FATHER OF RADIO (and NOT MARCONI) of the world. Marconi himself had lots of regard for JC BOSE. He played with 65 GHz so many years before, he has done work on METAMATERIAL as well as FSS. This is the pen sketch drawn in an hour by Ms. K arri Sri Siddhi , III year ECE, NIT T.

HELEN KELLER Helen Keller HELEN KELLER- an international celebrity who has shown the light of the day to disabled and a prodigy is to be remembered on this ‘WORLD DISABLED DAY’. Helen Keller would not have been known to the world had she not lost both her sight and hearing at nineteen months of age due to scarlet fever. “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart”; this is what she has proved to the universe by her life. She practiced and wrote,” Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it”. Yes! Helen Keller overcame disabilities and worked to help others who were blind and deaf. she has shown millions of people that disability need not be the end of the world. Helen Keller was born on June27, 10 in Tuscumbia, Alabama... Through Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone and a teacher for the deaf a young teacher, Annie Sullivan of Perkins Institut

VALENTINE DIAGRAM and MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY

TECHNOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES ARE DERIVED FROM NATURE: VALENTINE DIAGRAM and MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY VALENTINE DIAGRAM and MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY Life will be colourful when the MATCHING between Life partners is PERFECT. Similarly the Microwave Technology which is the back bone of modern communication, space applications, and digital diagnostics of health care, Defence applications is said to work perfect if the MATCHING is good. In Microwave technology, MATCHING is referred by the term ‘Reflection coefficient’. For perfect Matching ‘Reflection coefficient’ should be ‘zero’ and ‘Transmission coefficient should be ‘one’. In general they are all called Scattering coefficients. A curve of scattering coefficients drawn on Smith Chart (tool to ease the parameter calculation) resembles the ‘Valentine diagram’. The commonality between Life and ‘Microwave technology’ as depicted by the enclosed chart (thanks to ‘Microwave 101’) is ‘MATCHING’ DR.S.RAGHAVAN SENIORMOST FACULTY IN ELECTRO
