Past Events of 2016

IEEE RUET Student Branch organized the 'Seminar on Chip Design Prospects in Bangladesh' on 28th December 2016. With the progress in the technology sector, our life is being blessed with various attractive electronics devices. The size of devices with the same features is getting smaller than the previous one. Integrated circuit (IC) is the reason behind this task which was considered impossible in ancient times. So, designing of IC or chip is becoming the topic of interest for engineers. Hence, IEEE RUET Student Branch organized this seminar.

IEEE RUET Student Branch arranged a seminar on "Effective Communication for Higher Education and Science & Engineering Outreach" on 3rd December 2016 (Saturday) at RUET Auditorium.

In this current world of professionalism, the experience of international education is an exquisite criterion to be added up to someone's resume. That is why 'Higher Study Abroad' is nowadays among the thoughts of most undergraduate students. But, it is unfortunate that many of them often fail to grab the opportunity of Higher Education due to their inefficiency in communicating with the proper authority. Considering this issue, IEEE RUET Student Branch has come up with the topic "Effective Communication for Higher Education". In this part of the seminar, participants got a chance to receive a proper guideline about important facts that will help them in communicating with the proper authority for higher education effectively. As our honorable speaker was from Canada, there was also an opportunity to have a fair idea about the Higher Education system in Canada.  

IEEE RUET WIE Student Branch Affinity Group organized a workshop on Web Designing on 2nd November 2016 at RUET ECE Building.

Web design means collecting ideas, that are arranged and implemented aesthetically on an electronic web page and guided by certain principles for a specific purpose. It is a process of conceptualizing, planning, and building a collection of electronic files that determine the layout, colors, text styles, structure, graphics, images, and use of interactive features that end users can access using the internet with help of a web browser. It encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardized code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization.  

IEEE RUET WIE Student Branch Affinity Group organized an Intra IEEE Bangladesh Section Writing Competition on Topic "IEEE for Humanity" on 4th October 2016. IEEE, ‘The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ combines all the members to work with one motivation to make a better understanding of engineering and its purpose of serving humanity. With the technical advancement, IEEE aims to work for benefit of humanity. IEEE, the world's largest professional organization celebrated the 7th edition of IEEE Day this year. IEEE Day’s theme is: “Leveraging Technology for a Better Tomorrow”. While the world benefits from what’s new, IEEE focuses on what’s next. As a part of the IEEE Day celebration of 2016, IEEE RUET WIE Student Branch Affinity Group in association with IEEE RUET Student Branch called for a writing competition on the topic “IEEE for Humanity”.

IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization has been celebrating IEEE Day since 1884. Adhering to the tradition, the organization arranged a massive celebration this year on 4th October 2016 which is the 7th edition of the fiesta.

"Leveraging Technology for a Better Tomorrow" - the theme of IEEE Day says a lot about this day. Worldwide celebrations of this day demonstrate the ways thousands of IEEE members in local communities join together to collaborate on ideas that leverage technology for a better tomorrow. The IEEE Day team made up of student volunteers, young professionals and staff are working hard to fulfill its purpose that is to initiate, motivate, and coordinate events and efforts to celebrate this day worldwide.  

A seminar on the "IEEE Membership Development Campaign And Women In Engineering" was organized by the IEEE RUET WIE Student Branch Affinity Group. Till now IEEE RUET Student Branch has facilitated its members by providing lots of opportunities. It has been able to help the members to discover themselves and their potentials and use them for good cause. With an intention to inspire more students to be a part of the IEEE, the IEEE RUET WIE Student Branch Affinity group has come up with the idea of this seminar. WIE (Women in Engineering) is a global community that convenes notable leaders to empower and inspire women. It aims at inspiring, engaging, encouraging and empowering women engineers, scientists, and young professionals. Following the same goal IEEE, RUET WIE Student Branch Affinity group which is one of the very first IEEE WIE Student Branch Affinity Groups of Bangladesh has started its journey on January 12th, 2016. The participation of women in the technology-related sector is increasing day by day. This affinity group has been formed aiming at arranging programs, seminars to benefit the female students and providing proper opportunities for networking at a professional level. We hope that this seminar will bring more enthusiastic women technologists together and fulfill the purpose of WIE(Women in Engineering).  

IEEE RUET Student Branch organized a workshop on 'Presentation facts and strategies'.

"Presentation skill" Is there any sector where it is not necessary? The answer will surely be negative. It is a must at interviews, at meetings, speaking to colleagues and staff, presenting at conferences, presenting training, attending training and so on. For the students, the value of this skill is beyond description. It's not only a skill but also an art nowadays. But, it is so much unfortunate for us that most people don't know anything about a smart presentation. They don't know well how to present themselves, their ideas, their inventions etc. Even some of them cannot conduct well with others. But, the primary goal is for one's presentation skills to be better than his/her competitors, whoever and whatever they are. The secondary goal is for your presentations to get better with every speech that you deliver. So, to be the best in one's business, having the presentation skill will help him a lot.

Technology is changing very fast and the people with the help of this technology are being upgraded dynamically. University can become the platform by organizing innovative events to update not only the students but their surroundings.

From the very beginning IEEE RUET Student Branch has been hosting innumerable technical events in order to encourage the students to come forward with innovative ideas and prove themselves. To continue this flow, IEEE RUET Student Branch organized a national level competition titled "Robo-Droid Championship-2016" supported by EMK Centre, Dhaka. Robo-Droid Championship-2016, an interuniversity competition, basically consisted of three contests. At the same time, recognized professionals in these sectors will attend as the speaker for a technical seminar which was arranged during the program. The competitions, which was organized, are the following:  

KEY FEATURES OF SIMULINK

Graphical editor for building and managing hierarchical block diagrams, Libraries of predefined blocks for modeling, Continuous-time and discrete-time systems, Simulation engine with fixed-step and variable-step ODE solvers, Scopes and data displays for viewing simulation results, Project and data management tools for managing model files and data, Model analysis tools for refining model architecture and increasing simulation speed, MATLAB Function block for importing MATLAB algorithms into models  

From the very beginning, IEEE RUET Student Branch has focused on enhancing students' knowledge of the various fields of technology.

To take another step towards this goal, IEEE RUET Student Branch hosted an intro RUET competition that took place on 7th April 2016. The competition involves the Line Follower Robot Competition, Maze Solving Robot Competition, and App Development Competition. This competition had been designed for preparing students of RUET for an upcoming national event titled "Robo-Droid Championship-2016". This competition created to create an opportunity for enhancing the skills of young talents.  

IEEE RUET Student Branch arranged this four days' workshop for members.

Technological Development is based on acquiring knowledge in the different technical sectors and their implementation. IEEE RUET Student Branch has a goal to inspire students for involving themselves in the implementation of their acquired knowledge through every program. Now IEEE RUET Student Branch has taken a project to improve its members' technical skills. In this regard, IEEE RUET Student Branch arranged this workshop for members. The members needed to form a team of up to 5 members to take part in this workshop.

IEEE RUET Student Branch successfully organized a Seminar on Solar Irrigation and Solar Vehicle Projects in Bangladesh on 21 January 2016 at RUET Auditorium. In an agricultural country like Bangladesh, our social and economical conditions depend on agriculture. So, irrigation is an important factor here. As a developing country, it's not always possible to meet up with the demand for electricity. The situation becomes worse during the period of irrigation. Solar energy can be a solution to this crisis. On the other hand, the necessity and uses of solar vehicles are increasing. But, the progress in this sector is not so admirable. IEEE RUET Student Branch arranged this seminar to share its importance and possibilities with students. The seminar is open to all the students of RUET.
