From the Desk of the DTE.

Educational Reforms via Technology

Recently, there has been uproar about

modifying a three year degree program to

a four year one in India. There were

arguments for and against the introduction

of a four year undergraduate program. While the four

year college education would help students who aspire to

go abroad for higher studies, the same would mean a

disaster for students from a lower middle class section of

the society, who want to quickly graduate and join the

workforce.Being brought up in India and having studied

in the Indian education system, I believe that our higher

secondary education and undergraduate programs are

quite rigorous and they prepare students well to compete

internationally. However, research, technology and life

skill training are not strong points of our current

undergraduate education system.

It would be a highly desirable move if the Indian

education system decides to incorporate basic research

training modules, technology and life skill training

sessions in the curriculum. Also, investing in online

learning management systems, databases and other

resources can greatly benefit the above cause.

Developing a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)

platform and providing some free MOOC education

modules to students can be a major game changer in the

field of Indian education system. Giving students full

degree credit for completing MOOC courses can solve

the three or four year degree dilemma.

The future of learning is fast changing, especially with

the help of technology. With proper infrastructure,

trained teachers and technology, access to quality

education in every corner of India can become a

possibility. Though it is a complex task, educational

reform can begin when the following requirements are in

order:

Qualified teachers: Attracting and retaining top teaching

talent is the key to solid and quality education. Serious

consideration must be given to attract brightest minds in

academia.

Major overhaul of learning resources, facilities and

infrastructure.

Fixing student teacher ratio in classrooms.

Designing curriculum keeping the current industry

standards and requirements in mind.

In the end, I would like to say that education reform

should be such that it enhances student experience, gives

them a robust standing wherever they may be, and open a

variety of career avenues for them to choose from. From

a faculty standpoint it should be such that it adds value,

vigor and excitement in the life of the teachers. Finally,

the expectation of the nation from an educational reform

would mean — well educated/informed citizens who are

tolerant of one another, can comprehend the vastness of

knowledge, understand and apply logic, innovate ideas

that can start or sustain industries for job creation and

become stalwarts for upcoming generations.

About the Workshop

The emergence of several electromagnetic simulation

software enables to choose the most appropriate method

for the design andoptimization of devices operating in a

wide range of frequencies.Hybridization of several

computational methods enables the efficient analysis of

a broad spectrum of EM problems, including antennas,

microstrip circuits, RF components and biomedical

systems, the placement of antennas on electrically large

structures, the calculation of scattering as well as the

investigation of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

This faculty development program familiarized with the

emerging software for RF circuits and antenna design

and also helped to analyze the research issues and

challenges in this area. This program also provided

hands on training on ADS and HFSS added with a

demonstration on Vector Network Analyzer.

Topics covered in the FDP are:

1. Introduction to ADS and HFSS

2. Design procedure of various antennas and array

systems using software

3. Filter design and the calculation of scattering

parameters

4. EMI/ EMC considerations in RF circuit design

5. Demonstration of antenna measurement equipments

Bridge Course on “Python Programming and

Raspberry Pi”10 – 12th February 2017.

Department of Electronics and Instrumentation

Engineering organized Three days (10-12th Feb 2017)

bridge course on Python programming and Raspberry

Pi for the Sixth semester students. The objective of the

bridge course is to improve their knowledge in device

programming using python platform and compete for

the industrial needs. Resource persons were from Data

starts, Bangalore working as data analyst and online

tutors.

One of the key learning platforms for IoT (Internet of

Things) is the Raspberry Pi. The RasPi is a popular

platform because it offers a complete Linux server in a

tiny platform for a very low cost. In fact, one of the

most difficult parts of using Raspberry Pi for learning

about IoT is picking the right projects with which to

begin. The raspberry pi boards are used in many

applications like Media streamer, Arcade machine,

Tablet computer, Home automation, Carputer, Internet

radio, Controlling robots, Cosmic Computer, Hunting

for meteorites, Coffee and also in raspberry pi based

projects. Python is a widely used high-level, general-

purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.

Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and


its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in

fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as

C++ or Java. Apart from Windows, Linux and MacOS,

CPython implementation runs on 21 different

platforms. Iron Python is a .NET framework based

Python implementation and it is capable of running in

both Windows, Linux and in other environments where

.NET framework is available.
