Past Events of 2022

In modern technology when the world is racing to move towards efficiency, affordability, and sustainability, ‘Very Large-Scale Integration’ shortly known as ‘VLSI’ is ruling the semiconductor industry. When MOS integrated circuit chips became extensively used in the 1970s, they opened the door for the development of sophisticated semiconductor and telecommunication technologies. As a result, VLSI was introduced. Today, there’s no such sector where VLSI circuits hadn’t roll over. Taking the importance of knowing about VLSI into account in an electrical engineer’s life, the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, RUET in association with IEEE RUET Student Branch organized a two-days-long workshop on ‘From Sand to VLSI Chip: Hands on using open source EDA’ on 27th & 28th October 2022. The motive was to provide basic information about VLSI, a proper guide to create the pathway of study on the related matters, and satisfy the obscure queries. In this two-days-long workshop, our esteemed speaker Nazmul Ahasan shared his valuable insights and expertise in VLSI.

IEEE RUET Industry Applications Society Student Branch Chapter organized a workshop on 'Power Plants and Power System in Bangladesh' on 20th & 21st October, 2022.

A power station is a facility that generates electricity. The use of transformers has enabled power to be created in isolation and distributed over greater distances, allowing society to obtain electricity from a single major power station rather than several. And Peaking power plants, commonly known as peaker plants or merely "peakers," are power plants that typically operate only when there is peak demand for electricity

Artificial Intelligence has become one of the most prevalent topics in recent years. The applications of AI we see today is a tip of the iceberg. The AI revolution has just begun. It is becoming an integral part of all modern electronic devices. Application in automation areas like automotive, security and surveillance, augmented reality, smart home, retail automation and healthcare are few of them. But, Artificial Intelligence wouldn’t be that popular if it hadn’t found so many applications across so many sectors, mostly in the software sector. However, we are betting on hardware, since AI is becoming an integral part of almost all modern automated devices. And it is impossible to discuss the future of automation without talking about robots. New generation Robotics will play a major role in this automated world. The future generation robotics would get a relutionary change due to advancement of Artificial Intelligence and meachine learning in recent times.
