Reaching the goal of machine vision, making the machine see as we do, has proven to be a challeng-ing task.Human visual system is so complex, even compre-hending its functionality is hard;

let alone replicating on a computer. However, there have been sev-eral success stories, face detection,optical character recognition, and autonomous driving. These are powered by sophisti-cated but increasingly cost effective digital hardware, and smart algorithms.

Our Department, with its strong back-ground on digital hardware and algorithms is engaged in solving some of these chal-lenging and intriguing problems. This year we have chosen to feature machine vision in our cover page, a thurst area in our department’s five year plan. Several state-of-the-art vision proj-ects are in progress in the areas of feature tracking, autonomous navigation, medical image analysis, neuro navigation, vision on reconfigurable hardware and GPUs and visual behavior analysis. All these projects are associated with the machine vision research group. Department will establish a machine vision laboratory to provide vision-based solutions to the government and coporate sector.

Mentoring Program

The Mentoring Program of the Depart-ment of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering is an important part of the level 2. The mentoring program assists the second year undergraduates, who are expected to undergo industrial training in a few months, to prepare themselves for the requirements of the corporate world. Our past experience shows that the mentoring program has enabled students to realize their full potential as trainees during in-dustrial training and as professionals after graduation.

In the current program, the ratio of men-tors to students was reduced to 3.2 and therefore there are 31 high profile profes-sionals mentoring the 100 students in the level 2. The variety of the in-house training sessions was also increased this year by including interesting topics such as speed reading (by Mr. Sanjiv Jayaratnam) and meditation (by Dr. Ravindra Koggalage) among the usual themes such as leader-ship (by Mr. Dian Gomes) and project management (by Dr. Madhu Fernando).

The mentoring program entails an evalu-ation scheme which acts as a catalyst to encourage students to take part in the pro-gramme more enthusiastically and receive more benefits. The students’ engagement with the program is gauged based on

Special Events

three assessments, namely feedback from the mentor, feedback from the internal staff member assigned to groups of mentees and marks obtained for the group assign-ment. The students who have performed well are expected to receive a certificate of merit.

Alumni Support

The department of Electronic and Telecom-munication engineering has always had strong relationship with its alumni. The alumni through the Department Industry Consultative Board (DICB) has supported us in developing our curriculum to be cur-rent in relevant to the industry. The depart-ment maintains a network of connections with the alumni so that it benefits the cur-rent and future students as they move on to the industry.

For example 02 batch donated the air conditioners and the curtains you now see in the ENTC1 to ensure the future students will be able to follow lectures in comfort. The 04 batch students donated the stage to solve the problem of students at the back not being able to see the board from the back seats. The 03 batch fitted the analog and digital laboratories with curtains you see now. The 05 batch refurbished the conference room with new curtains and donated 40 chairs you are using now.

Alum

ni Support

In recent years the support received by the depart-ment form the alumni has been extended to developing infrastructure in the department as well. The past graduates have taken it upon them-selves to de-velop selected infrastructure which will directly ben-efit the future students in the department.


This highlights the policy that the university and the department adopts to foster an environment in which technically brilliant and socially responsible engineers are produced. It is apt to empha-size again that the real benefi-ciaries of these magnanimous gestures would be the current and the future under graduates of the department.

TexMed”, an invention of two past pupils of the Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering Department, started field testing on early January 2011. TexMed is a product designed to be placed in medical clinics, helping patients of those clinics to reduce the time wastage in the process of seeing a doctor. TexMed product was de-signed and deployed by Mr. Dinuka Abey-wardena and Mr. Thusitha Samarasekara, as a collaboration between themselves and University of Moratuwa.

General functionality of TexMed is to provide on demand information to mobile phone users via short message service. More specifically it is applied in providing information about currently serving patient number in medical clinics where patients have to wait their turn after reserving an appointment number. A TexMed device is to be placed at each of the clinics covered by this service and it operates by sending the current appointment number in a text message to any patient requesting that information. TexMed is aimed at aiding patients to arrive in-person at the clinic at the right time, thereby reducing both time waste and risk of appointment expiration.

TexMed is currently in field testing stage and the University Intellectual Property Committee is in the process of acquiring a patent for this invention. The inventors hope to commercialize the product with the help of the University in the near future.
