IEEE Day

 

BVPIEEE and its HKN chapter, the Lambda Eta Chapter, celebrated IEEE Day in October, 2014 with enthusiasm and fervour. The event marked the inauguration of its flagship event ‘IEEE-HKN Research Mentorship Program’

Amid much fanfare, BVPIEEE, the IEEE Student Branch of Bharati Vidyapeeth’s College of Engineering, conducted the 7th Edition of its annual technical and managerial festival, FERVOUR, on 16th April. The festival, taking on the unique theme of ‘Live Your Reality In The 'Virtual World’ this year, was attended by students from colleges all over Delhi besides the students of BVCOE.

The event opened with a grand ceremony that was presided by distinguished faculty- Principal Dr. Dharmender Saini, Vice Principal Dr. Sunil K. Singh, Dr. Vanita Jain, H.O.D., IT Department and Branch Counselor of BVP-ISTE, and Prof. Rahul Bahl, IT Department and Branch Counselor of BVPIEEE. After the fest was declared open, 18 events were conducted at Fervour ’14, encompassing a plethora of domains- technical, managerial and literary to name a few. The flagship event, titled ‘National Student Symposium’, was a huge success with students from all over Delhi presenting their technical papers. All the events presented ultimate challenges to the students, be it the coding event ‘Run For Your Code’ or the war of bots , ‘Sumobotics’ or the gaming challenge, ‘Full Throttle’! The tradition of quizzing in BVPIEEE continued in Fervour, with two quizzing events being held besides the brainstorming events like ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ and the extempore-speaking ‘JAM.COMM’. We even had something for the football enthusiasts- Futsal!

Coding, Robotics, Extempore, Brainstorming, Gaming, Mock Stock, Quizzes, Football- Fervour ’14 combined them all! Prizes worth 7 Lakhs were won. The eventful day ended with a closing ceremony0 fitting of the grand festival where the long going tradition of cake cutting was observed. The whole event was a huge success where innovation met fun and the combination of those two proved to be a truly enriching learning experience for all those involved in the festival.

A robotics event named 'RoboBall' was also organized. The aim of the event was to disseminate freshers to a competition of Robotics, where the challenge was to balance a ball on a wireless bot through a devious track

A photowalk was organised by the Digital Arts Society (DAS) of BVCOE. The aim of this event was to make the freshers aware of a photography technique called Levitation and make them acquainted with the basic rules of how it is implemented. Levitation is the rising of human body into the air by mystical means. More than 70 photography enthusiasts participated in the event and the organizers garnered a positive feedback from the participants.

A toy-collection drive, an initiative introduced by BVPIEEE in August 2014, was also taken up at IEEE Day. The proceeds of the drive will go to Akshay Pratishthan, an NGO, and it is a small way for the students to give back to the society.

Team BVPIEEE also organized a Hand printing activity. Students gathered in enthusiasm to participate in this convivial celebration, stamping their handprints with their favourite colours as the IEEE Day
