SciLabs Workshop @ BVBCET, Hubli

On 24th of this month, 4 of us 5th sem CSE students, i.e. me Himanshu, Shashank Shekhar, Vivek Maskara and Rohit Kumar attended SCILABS workshop at BVBCET, Hubli. First let me give an intro of SCILABS. It’s open-source software which eases and fastens mathematical operations to a huge extent. From matrix operations, plotting of graphs, integration, differentiation, it does it all. Our ENC friends study MATLABS as their course subject which is proprietary source to do the same job. About the workshop, first we were a bit disappointed as the event was postponed by an hour without prior information. But, then it began well. All of those teaching us were 7th sem ENC students of the college. The participants ranged from KLESCET, Belgaum, our college, and BVB itself of course. A break in between with complementary snacks seemed relaxing. Then at the end, there was a small competition where 2 mathematical problems have to be solved using Scilabs, and we performed fair. 2 students from our college won the second place. All in all, it was a nice experience. I hope much more workshops of this kind will be held at our college too.

Thanks.

Sridutta Wins Intel Competitio

Hi sir,

I am sending below my experience of Intel.

I always wondered looking at the television commercial featuring Mr.Ajay Bhattwhen will I get a chance to get into his shhoes, trying and thinking the best I could to imaginethe ways I could get assocaiated with the name in the Microprocessor Industry.INTEL.... And then an opportunity came my way which changed my whole life,believe me it did... No points for gueesing but it is none other than the Intel Threading Champion 2009. Many might feel this to be like any other competition but what I experienced was the joy to eexpress, To express the odeas which one feels so silly about and are so many in number in ones "Think Tank". But believe me friends what we feel to be silly are the most impactful. So Threading Champion is the root cause which has chaneelized one such idea so beautifully, and what better could it be than a research paper. Yes, now I can proudly tell my friends doing their Masters that its not just you who are writing the thesis. Now I too have a research paper of my own. Thank you Intel and Threading Champion. I feel like a rockstar!!!

Now for the stats and details,

Over 1000 students had qualifiied the 1st round.
Out of the papers submitted 48 research papers were selected for final screening.
We bagged the second runner up prize.
The award ceremony was held at PESIT,Bangalore.
