The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Ahalia School of Engineering and Technology successfully conducted an Two day hands on training sessions on IoT-Based Product Design Workshop on 30th and 31st December, 2024, at the Simulation Lab. This collaborative endeavor, organized in conjunction with the Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), and Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Cell (IEDC), aimed to equip S4, S6, and S8 EEE students with the practical knowledge and skills necessary for designing and developing cutting-edge IoT products.The inaugural session was graced by Dr. G. Murugananth, Head of the EEE Department. He emphasized the immense potential of IoT technology on the aspects of product development and entrepreneurship and encouraged students on these prespectives. Mr. Sangaran D K, Co-founder/Application Engineer at Aatrral Edu/Aatrral AG, served as the esteemed resource person. He imparted valuable insights and practical knowledge on various aspects of IoT product design. Professor Dr. Pradip C provided valuable insights into the critical role of sensor technology within IoT systems, highlighting its significance in data acquisition and real-time decision-making. Mr. A. Manickavasagam, Assistant Professor, EEE Department, further emphasized the workshop’s importance in fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and industry-ready skills among the student community.
The workshop covered a comprehensive range of topics, including mobile app development, where students learned to develop mobile applications for IoT devices using essential concepts and tools such as Android Studio, iOS Development. Practical sessions on programming Arduino microcontrollers for controlling and interacting with IoT devices, including digital and analog I/O, sensor interfacing, communication protocols, were also conducted. Furthermore, the workshop delved into the in-depth exploration of various sensor types, including temperature, light, motion, their applications in IoT systems, and data acquisition techniques. Finally, the workshop provided guidance on designing and prototyping simple IoT devices and systems, fostering creative problem-solving and practical implementation skills
Mr. Vipindas K, Assistant Professor, and Mr. Dinesh, Senior Lab Instructor, both from the EEE Department, effectively coordinated the program, ensuring a smooth and productive learning environment. The workshop witnessed enthusiastic participation from all students, with a strong focus on practical learning and hands-on experience.
By providing hands-on training, exposure to real-world applications, and mentorship from industry experts, the workshop effectively equipped the students with the necessary skills to pursue further studies and embark on successful careers in the rapidly evolving field of IoT.
