[FONT=&quot] 2) Small ideas can change the world[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Maximum of two members per team. Finalists will be selected based on the posters submitted in the prelims.[/FONT]



[FONT=&quot]4)TECHNO-ENTREPRENEUR CHALLENGE[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Do you have a business plan? We will turn you into an entrepreneur.Present your plan before an esteemed panel; The most deserving ideas will be funded to transform them into active businesses.[/FONT]

“The engineer's first problem in any design situation is to discover what the problem really is.”
This event tests the participants’ technical knowledge and their presence of mind in applying
their theoretical knowledge to find out and correct the bugs in circuits in both analog and
digital domains.

Topcoderz
Education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and
pigment can make somebody an expert painter. This event brings out the talents required for
the embedded industry from the emerging engineers of today. This singular event tests their
programming skills over a multitude of languages – HDL, MATLAB and Assembly language.

C de-bug
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the
code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. This event
tests the participants’ fundamentals in debugging, in which they are required to find out the
bugs in the given C/C++ codes, and correct them. The contest is especially for those who have
delved deep into the sea of C/C++.

Comm. Inc.
[FONT=&quot]This never-before seen event aims at educating the electronic engineer with interesting tidbits
and trivia in the fields of signals, communication and networking, which are essential to
discover and appreciate the intricacies of the technological developments that have taken
place around us.

[/FONT]Math Modeling
[FONT=&quot]The human mind has never invented a labor-saving machine equal to algebra. Even geometry
may not be true, but it is highly advantageous. Here participants from a multitude of streams
unite to exhibit their analytical skills and understanding of higher mathematical concepts, to
solve practical problems by converting them into mathematical models.

On-Stage Events




How Stuff Works

This event is designed to test the perception and interpretation of the

everyday phenomena that one may witness, but to which one may

not have given second thoughts. This on-stage event tests the

participants’ awareness of the “how” and “why” of the things around.


General Quiz

With interactive audio-visual questions, the General Quiz is designed

to make the participants beat their brains out for the ever-elusive right

answer. This signature event is sure to draw large crowds for it

comprises questions from varied realms - entertainment, sports,

history, and current affairs.

Online Events

Descrypt
This online event tests the participants’ intuitive understanding of basic electronics. Given
just the basic elements – transistors, resistors, inductors and capacitors – connected in sinister
designs, the participant will need to identify the working of the circuit or the logic function that
it may represent.

Question Paper will be uploaded in the site on Feb 28, 9 PM IST


E-Chip
It is an event that caters to the enthusiastic VLSI designers of the corporate world. It
encourages contemporary thinking as well as out-of-the-box solutions to industrial problems in
CMOS technology.

Question Paper will be uploaded in the site on Feb 21, 9 PM IST

Arithmania
It's a mathematics oriented puzzles event. Some problems to be solved are
put up in the site on a weekly basis. Solve the problems and post the
solutions in the site within the stipulated time. This week's questions are
already up. Head up to the site.

Puzzles
Do you like interesting and tough puzzles? Are you thrilled by how a puzzle
is solved by a detective in mystery books? Then solve these puzzles. This is
also a weekly edition and this week's puzzles are up for grabs at the site.
Answer them and win goodies..

Exhivision - Project Display and presentation

Welcome to the project display event in vision 2009. Projects here are classified as

• Hardware
• Software
• Robotics
• Theme based project

Send in your abstracts to out team(upload the abstract at our site). Come and present your ideas to the panel.

Some of the projects that were features last year were:

HARDWARE:
wearable sensors, sleeping nodes, zigbee technology, Automobile accident prevention, future theatre, traffic control using rfid, etc..

SOFTWARE:
sub band based OFDA system, FPGA implementation using FHT, GSM network identification based multi line tracking, roputing based online service etc..

ROBOTICS:
shortest path detection robot, automatic gas controller, IVRS based robot control, etc..

ROBOTICS


1) DEAD END:

This is a line follower event. You are required to build an autonomous line follower robot that can overcome the real time traffic situations simulated in the arena specified.

For other rules and arena specifications, head to the web site.


2) LAND STALKERS:

Build a manually controlled mechanical robot to avoid obstacles in it's path and to do combat with an opponent robot

Prelims:
Prelims is sumo wrestling. . The arena will be a ring. The robot which gets pushed out of the ring will be disqualified.

Finals:
In the finals, the bot will have to do the following jobs:

• pass through ramps
• pass through different terrains like sand, gravel, etc.
• clear obstacles in it's path
• guide a ball from the arena surface to the hole in top of a ramp.

Workshops

Introduction:

Workshops truly reflect our credo of ‘fostering innovation’. By roping in stalwarts of the industry from various fields, we provide students with a unique opportunity to interact with them and gain exposure to cutting edge, high speed technology. Highly informative sessions on burgeoning technologies like VLSI, Embedded Systems, Wireless communications & Robotics by leading academicians serve as an eye-opener to budding technologists by enabling them to identify potential areas for their specialization.
