One Day Co-ordinator Workshop on E-Sim At IIT Bombay

27th July 2019

 

One day Co-ordinator workshop on E-Sim (A first Course in the IOT series) was held at IIT Bombay on 27th July 2019 under the aegis of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya National Mission on Teachers and Training and funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India.

The event was presided over by eminent Prof. Kannan Moudgalya and his team members. Over 130 Remote centres participated in the workshop from all over India. Ms. Swati Sharma (Assistant Professor - Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering) from Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurugram (Remote Centre-1299) participated in the workshop at IIT Bombay.

Session 1:

The inaugural address was given by the Prof. Kannan Moudgalya Principal Investigator, PMMMNMTT, IIT Bombay and Ms. Sampada Pachaury, Vice President – Campus Engagement for Higher Education, Electronics Sector Skills Council of India.

Addressing the participants, Prof. Kannan Moudgalya emphasised on the practical implementation of theoretical concepts of Engineering, Science and Technology that may help building India where dreams come true. He also shared the importance of critical analysis, succinct articulation, innovation, passion, attitude and discipline as key-terms of one’s success. He explained about the E-Sim and hands-on-training on the topic of "Astable Multivibrator".

Ms. Sampada Pachaury stressed on the fact that there is a need to bring a major shift in aspiration and expectations of students. This requires a revamp in academics, making it more hands on and project oriented. She was confident that the model curriculums for such Workshops help professional students to get an overview about the industry practicality and provide internships through these curriculums. There should be more industry inputs in courses and have some courses taught by experienced people from industry.

Session 2:

The session 2 was based on Designing of the PCB using E-Sim Software and different tasks were given to the remote centre Co-ordinators such as Creation of Circuit Schematic , filling of the observations using the physical observations and the simulation observations , PCB designing of 'Astable  Multivibrator' and lastly the documentation of the work. A Group Discussion was also held on the topic such as"How E-Sim can be used in the Industries?"

The Valedictory session ended with the certificate distribution to the participants. The workshop was very much beneficial to all Remote Centres Co-ordinators as they learnt various practical approaches using E-Sim Software.
