One day seminar on
Career Prospects for Atmanirbhar Bharat
13 December 2022

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering organized a one day seminar with the central theme of career prospects for second year and pre final year students. The event took place from 9:30am till 4:30pm in the Maharaja Agrasen Auditorium.

Dr. Sunil Kumar Mathur, who served as program chair for this event, addressed the students and informed them about the recent changes in syllabus. He advised the students to make the best use of the New Education Policy that has been implemented by the Govt. of India in higher education institutes. Also, he stressed on the fact that the students should not be mere job seekers but providers of jobs as well.
Dr. Nitin Sharma, overall coordinator, delivered the vote of thanks. He expressed his gratitude toward all the speakers, faculty members as well as the students. Last, but not the least, the college management has been of pioneering support for organizing this seminar.
The first session in this seminar was taken by Mr. Rahul Ranjan, Senior Verbal Trainer, MJ Academy. He introduced to students how to quickly and efficiently memorize difficult English words. Such skills are especially required in clearing the CAT exam and other such similar entrance tests. He also briefed the students about the various opportunities in the field of management studies.

The second session was taken combinedly by Mr. Kundan Kumar (Head of IT dept., PSSPL), Mr. Shailesh Singh Rathore (Business Development Manager PSSPL) and Mr. Pankaj Namdev (Head of UAV Design Engineering PSSPL). Mr. Kundan Kumar gave valuable insights into the UAV industries, government guidelines, new initiatives and the scope of career in the field of Drone Technology. Next, Mr. Shailesh gave an overview of UAV Technology to our students while Mr. Pankaj Namdev explained the different types of UAVs, Drone components and indigenous value. The field of Drone technology is very promising and right now, this field lacks trained professionals and other related resource persons. A career in this field can be truly remarkable be it in technical area or as an entrepreneur.

Post lunch break, the third and the last session was delivered by Mr. Gunjan Choudhary from Made Easy. His speech in the auditorium caused the students to get struck with wonder. He emphasized how students were getting involved in an “easy going” life without caring for the fact that they should rather be working on improving their market value as they gradually inch closer to passing out from college. He showed the real time situation to the students. The level of competition is enormous. A dedicated and well chalked out plan is required for success. But students often take things for granted and therefore they suffer later. He warned the students in a healthy way not to become casual and be serious in whatever endeavors they wish to accomplish. He also gave a spiritual touch to his talk by mentioning about Srila Prabhupada who is the Founder Acarya of ISKCON. He is deeply attached to the teachings of Srila Prabhupada. During his speech, he also quoted several verses from the Bhagavad Gita which form the guiding torchlight for illuminating our thoughts with the right attitude. The students were very much convinced and they promised to get serious in their studies. The students were given first hand information of future prospects as far as PSU and GATE examination is concerned.
The Department of ECE especially thanks Ms. Sumedha Gupta and Ms. Shalu Garg who did anchoring in the event.

ISTE FACULTY CONVENTION
(DELHI SECTION)
ON
Impact of AI and ML in
Global Education and Learning
23 and 24 March 2023

On March 23 and 24, 2023, the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at MAIT hosted a two-day workshop on the "Impact of AI and ML in Global Education and Learning" in Maharaja Agrasen Auditorium. Several professional speakers from reputable government agencies and institutes were invited. Research Scholars, Students from the B.Tech. Fourth and sixth semesters of ECE, as well as faculty members, attended the session.

The first session on 23 March 2023 was taken by Mr. Ashcharya Bansal on the topic, “Impact of Learning on Future”. On behalf of MadeEasy, he explained to the student the various options available for them after B.Tech. and especially his main focus was on GATE examination. Students were amazed to know about so many wonderful opportunities that they can pursue and thus achieve success in their professional careers. After this session, all the respected dignitaries were welcomed and lamp lighting was done in front of Mother Saraswati. Amongst the dignitaries were Shri Mohan Garg Ji, General Secretary, MATES; Prof. Neelam Sharma, Director, MAIT; Prof. S.S. Deswal, Dean (Academics), MAIT. Prof. Sunil Kumar, HOD ECE & Workshop Chairperson, introduced to the audience about the workshop in brief. Dr. Nitin Sharma, Assistant Professor and Workshop Coordinator proposed a vote of thanks on behalf of ECE Department. Dr. (Prof.) Neelam Sharma spoke words of encouragement and congratulated ECE department for organizing the workshop. The second session of the day was delivered by Mr. Rajesh Kumar Tiwari, Scientist E (INMAS, DRDO), who talked about Human Machine Teaming, Applications of AI/ML.

We cannot deny the fact that lifestyle changes, work pressure, pollution, health problems, etc continue to impact us negatively in our lives. The immediate byproduct that comes out of this is stress and anxiety. It doesn’t matter who you are, what designation you hold, how much money you have. Stress has entered the lives of each one of us in some form or the other. Therefore, we must learn to deal with it. The third session of the day was on “Stress Management” which was taken by His Holiness Badrinarayana Swami Maharaj Ji. He was born in the year 1952 in the United States of America. He met Srila Prabhupada in 1969 and in the year 1971, he became his formally initiated disciple. He accepted sannyasa in 2014 and became an ISKCON Diksha Guru in 2020. His talk on stress management revolved around the theme that we are not this bodies made up of chemicals but we are eternal spirit souls who are somehow caught up in this material world and thus undergoing the hard struggle for existence. This struggle inevitably brings with itself stress, among other things, and therefore, the permanent solution to stress is to mold our lives in such a way that we go back to the spiritual world where there is no anxiety, no stress and no hankering. Post lunch, the fourth session of the day was taken by Dr. Prerana Mukherjee (School of Engineering, JNU) on the topic “Transformer Networks and its applications using PYTHON”. She taught on a basic level how transformers work and related it to the chatbots that are trained to give automated replies.Dr. Prateek Gupta, Data Scientist, took the last and fifth session of the day on the topic, “Data Visualisation using POWER BI”.

The learnings of the workshop continued into the next day, 24 March 2023, with the first session of the day delivered by Mr. Ravikant, Data Scientist and Co Founder, BMPL, on the topic “Practical Approach towards ML”. He taught the PYTHON language from the basics and gradually took the participants toward the higher concepts such as Image Processing using PYTHON. His session continued after lunch as well. Then the last and the third session of the workshop was taken by Mr. Nitin Arvind Shelke, Computer Science Engineering, Bennett University, Greater Noida, topic, “Deep CNN for Image Recognition”.
The Department of ECE whole heartedly thanks Dr. Nand Kishore Garg, Founder Chairman and Chief Advisor, MATES; Shri Mohan Garg Ji, General Secretary, MATES; for their complete support behind organizing this workshop.
