The workshop on “Basic Circuit Simulation using PSpice” was organized by Vemana IEEE Photonics Society and Vemana Circuits and Systems Society in association with Vemana IEEE Student Branch Chapter, on 27th September 2024 at Vemana IT. The program was hosted by Dr. Harshadha J Patel . Shaik Raheema student of ECE department welcomed and introduced the guest. Prathima A and Suma B V assistant professors of ECE department addressed the gathering of the event.

Dr. Meena Deshpande completed her B.E Degree from Pune University , M.E Degree from Mumbai University and PhD from BMS College of Engineering(VTU) University. She has worked with Government of Maharashtra, Info Institute of Engineering Coimbatore and currently she is working in AMC Engineering College. She is having total of 17 years of experience. Her research area includes image processing and bio-medical Engineering.

This workshop was organised for 3rdsem students from the Department of electronics and communication.35 students joined for the workshop with their own intrest. As they were new to the core subjects the students have no much idea about the circuits. So Dr.Meena Deshpande started the session with the explanation of basic components used in the circuits like what is resistors , capacitors and transistors,also how the trasistors act like a switch and amplifiers.

In the next session she explained how to download the PSpice and use it. She also explained how to debug the simple circuit using PSpice and simulation of simple circuit.Finally by the end of the session the students were able to design and simulate the simple circuits.

The workshop on “AI Tool for Research” was organized by Vemana IEEE Photonics Society and Vemana Circuits and Systems Society in association with Vemana IEEE Student Branch Chapter, on 28th September 2024 at Vemana IT. The program was hosted by Dr. Harshadha J Patel. ShaikRaheema student of ECE department welcomed and introduced the guest.Deepika J Pi assistant professors of ECE department addressed the gathering of the event.

Dr.Meena Deshpande completed her B.E Degree from Pune University, M.E Degree from Mumbai University and PhD from BMS College of Engineering(VTU) University. She has worked with Government of Maharashtra, Info Institute of Engineering Coimbatore and currently she is working in AMC Engineering College. She is having total of 17 years of experience. Her research area includes image processing and bio-medical Engineering.

The Resource Person Dr. Meena Deshpande taught us about a very useful tool called Mendeley, Zotero, and Research Rabbit are reference management and research tools, each offering unique ways to organize and discover academic literature. Mendeley provides reference management, PDF annotation, and collaboration features. Zotero is a flexible, open-source tool for organizing research, offering automatic citation generation and web browser integration.

Connecting Papers helps visualize and explore related academic papers through citation networks.

Gecko focuses on helping researchers create summaries of research papers with AI. Research Rabbit enhances literature exploration by visualizing connections between papers and researchers, offering discovery tools for academic works.

These tools streamline research, discovery, and citation processes for academics. Where this made easy for a student who can easily do literature surveys for the mini and major projects.

And we successfully ended the workshop by vote of thanks all members present for the support and cooperation extended for the successful conduction of the workshop for the “AI Tools for Research” and taking group photos, thanking the Resource Person with small Gift of Appreciation.

The inauguration ceremony of the IEEE Photonics Society and RAS student branch chapter was held on 22nd May 2024, at Vemana Institute of Technology Bengaluru. The program was hosted by student branch member of photonics and robotics society.The program started with an invocation song by Bhuvana. Poorva Reddy Student of ECE Dept. Dr. ASHOKKUMAR C. N., Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department, Vemana IT, welcomed the guests, faculties, and students. The program was inaugurated by lighting the lamp by the dignitaries, students, and faculty members

The Chief guests, Dr.T.Srinivas, Chair, IEEE Bangalore Section, Dr.Preeta Sharan, Excom Member, IEEE Photonic Society, Dr.A.A.NippunKumAar, Chair, IEEE RAS Bangalore chapter and All the IEEE photonics and RAS student chapter members joined for lighting the lamp The IEEE Branch Student Member Keerthan Raj introduced Dr.Preeta Sharan, Excom Member, IEEE Photonic Society, Dr.A.A.Nippun Kumar, Chair, IEEE RAS Bangalore chapter

IEEE Photonics Society:

Dr.Preeta Sharan, Excom Member, IEEE Phototnic society, briefed about the IEEE Photonics Society and the events planned for the academic year 2024. She said that on 22ndMay 2024, Vemana Institute of Technology has received approval from IEEE to form IEEE Photonics Society Student Branch Chapter. In the society.

The Vemana IT student branch Chapter aims at promoting the students to essential leadership and management knowledge as well as skills. Also she explained the Ocean of Opportunities present in photonics society, how to present an effective paper along with that explained how to grasp ideas from the knowledgeable sessions.

One among the important topics Dr.Preeta Sharan mentioned about the Internship opportunity only present in Photonics, even about the Travel Grants which plays a major role of individual in building up their career while exploring the world without any travelling expenses.

Robotics and Automation Society(RAS):

Robotics and Automation Society: The Vemana IT RAS SBC was formed under IEEE Bangalore student branch section. The official approval of the petition to form the RAS chapter was approved on 3rd May 2024. Presently, RAS has a total of 13 IEEE RAS students and faculty members

Dr. A.A. Nippun Kumar, the Chair of the IEEE RAS Bangalore chapter, shared valuable insights on the fields of Automation and Robotics. During his talk, he discussed various upcoming events that are significant for professionals and enthusiasts in these fields. Additionally, he highlighted several sources that offer travel grants, which can be beneficial for those looking to attend conferences and workshops worldwide.

Dr. Kumar also provided detailed guidance on building a career in Mobile Robotics. He emphasized the importance of gaining a solid foundation in robotics principles, staying updated with the latest advancements, and engaging in hands-on projects and research. He recommended various educational resources, professional networks, and industry certifications that can help individuals progress in their careers.

Overall, his talk was a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and future opportunities in Automation and Robotics, aimed at inspiring and equipping the next generation of professionals in these dynamic fields.

Dr. T. Srinivas, the Chair of the IEEE Bangalore Section, provided an insightful overview of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems). He explained that these technologies are fabricated using a variety of materials and manufacturing methods. Examples of devices that utilize MEMS and MOEMS include optical switches, optical cross-connects, tunable VCSELs (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers), and micro bolometers.

Dr. Srinivas emphasized the importance of participating in IEEE activities, noting that students and professionals from any domain can join subject-specific societies within IEEE. He illustrated the concepts of MEMS and MOEMS with numerous examples, such as mirror chips, to enhance understanding of their functionality and applications.

Furthermore, he encouraged attending hands-on workshops and practical sessions to gain deeper insights and experience. He also chaired an Execom (Executive Committee) meeting, during which he gathered individual ideas aimed at improving IEEE Society Groups. Dr. Srinivas shared his own ideas for implementation, demonstrating a collaborative approach to advancing the society's objectives.

Dr. VijayaSimha Reddy B G, Principal of Vemana IT addressed the gathering and given highlights ofthe events.

Chief Guest of the event Dr.T.Srinivas, Chair, IEEE Bangalore Section, Dr.Preeta Sharan, Execom Member, IEEE Photonic Society, Dr.A.A.Nippun Kumar, Chair, IEEE RAS Bangalore chapter and Professors awarded the badges for IEEE Photonics and RAS Society student branch chapter like Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Webmaster.
