Message from Chairman

Dr. N. R. ALAMELU

Esteemed Members,

Greetings,

I feel very happy that the student branches in all the institutions are becoming more active and

dynamic. The number of proposals requesting for the technical and financial support of IEEE for

conducting National and International conferences are also on the increase. IEEE as an

international professional body would be very happy to support all such focused initiatives.

However I only would like to submit the request to the organizers of such conferences to be quite

sure about the quality of the papers in terms of the originality of the contents. This I am writing

with a heavy heart that we do come across a few occasional instances of plagiarism.

I would request all the organizers to meticulously scrutinize to ensure quality of the papers

accepted and presented in such conferences to have technical conferences in its true spirit. This

intern will definitely improve the research culture with all the stakeholders and IEEE as a

professional body will always strive towards excellence in all these activities.

I congratulate the organizers of such conferences and request good number of members to attend

these conferences as delegates and as authors for better learning and exposure.

BEST WISHES

Your Affectionate Office Bearer

I am happy to write editorial for the October issue. I have received some complaints about the

publication of activities. The probelm with the publication of activities is the limited space.

The file contains photographs and it occupies more memory. Some branches are sending

activities conducted from the beginning of the year. It is very difficult to include all the activities

in a single issue. However I taking all efforts to publish all the actvities reported. I have

decided to publish the activities conducted in the month of the issue. If the activities are

reported after the current month, the activities will be published depending on the space

available. I request all the members to report the actibity conduced within the month of

conduction. Any complaint regarding the publication will be entertained and the individual reply

will be given to the sender within a reasonale time. This month issue is divided into two parts

and published.

at”. The technical talk was given by Ms.Sheena.A of II-EEE who gave a talk about Solar

Tracker. She told that Solar Tracker is a device that orient a payload towards the sun.

Payload can be photovoltaic panels, reflectors, lenses or other optical devices. The meeting

ended with the vote of thanks by Ms.Annlin Shebi.S.L of final ECE.

Technical Gathering on 30th Sep 2014

The meeting was initiated with the Code of Ethics by Ms.Aditya of II EEE. Blessie Jannat

of III CSE welcomed the gathering. The meeting was presided over by Ms.Sujila of IV ECE. She

expressed her views on communication skills and its importance while facing an Interview. IEEE

SB Vice-chairperson Ms.I.Agnes Miriam informed the members about STEP’14 and IEEE Online

Communities. After which, a Technical quiz was conducted by Ms.Geethu Sree and Ms.Rudolf

Malar Sowmiya. Finally, the vote of thanks was given by Ms.Darshini Darwin.

IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members

belonging to an IEEE Student Branch, advised and proctored by an IEEE member, compete

in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. We are

fortunate to have our IEEE Student Branch Counselor Prof .J. Bright Jose, WIE Faculty

Advisor Prof. A. Subitha and Coordinator Prof. A. Darwin Jose Raju, who motivated and

guided us to join IEEE Xtreme 8.0. The Cycle started weeks ago in an Office Bearers

meeting in which Mr. Vijeeth. V J, an Executive member of our Student Branch was given

in charge for the program. Asthe first part of the plan, he informed all the IEEE members

about IEEEXtreme Program along with its rules. He gave a clear view of the program in a

weekly meeting. Circulars were sent to every class about this competition, so that the IEEE

members who missed to attend the weekly meeting will be aware of it.11 teams from

various departments registered their names. Prof. A. Darwin Jose Raju and Prof. P. Lovelin

Auguskani proctored the teams. Prof. A. Subitha, the Faculty Advisor of IEEE WIE guided

us for organizing the program. Instructions were given to every team about the

arrangements. The ITLab of our college was arranged as the venue and every team was

asked to report at 5.00 am. Theprogram started on 18th October 2014 at 5.30 am when each

team logged in with their customized team name and password. Each team started

programming with great enthusiasm. When the first set of questions were unlocked, each

team was running high and low with their programming knowledge to find answers for the

problem given. The questions given were like a customer problem and we have to give

code for it just like how a professional may do. To give a clear view of the problem sample

inputs as well as outputs were given. 10 test cases were given for each problem to improve

the efficiency of the coding. Marks were allocated based on how the code satisfies each test

case.The Coordinator of the program Mr. Vijeeth V J arranged a video talk with Mr.

Prasanth Mohan, Public Lead, IEEEXtreme. He was happy to see our student members

working enthusiastically. He gave a key description of how he managed to join IEEE and

now how he has merged his career along with it. He also shared how he was able to get the

prestigious Richard E Merwin Scholarship while studying his second year. He gave an

account of the scholarships available in IEEE along with its benefits. He also added how an

IEEE member can use the opportunities available for them.After the video talk the

Correspondent of Our College, Rev. Fr.A.Jesu Marian gave us a surprise visit and

motivated us. We were eager to take a Group photo with him and with our IEEE SB

Coordinator, Prof. A. Darwin Jose Raju. Our IEEE Student Branch arranged dinner

for all participants. At around 12:00 in mid-night to increase the energy of all

participants our IEEE Student Branch planned to cut a cake named “We love IEEE”.

It was really surprising since nobody guessed a celebration at midnight. Each of us

enjoyed a lot. Finally the program ended around 5.30am on 19th October 2014. Reported by:DARSHINI DARWIN
