The objective of this session was to make our students aware about the data science and its various applications. We also want to make them aware about the various future opportunities available in this domain. Mr. Deepak Bagchi, Head-Smart Data, IOT & Enterprise Analyst, SLK Software Service Ltd., Banglore was a keynote speaker for this session. While addressing the students, Mr. Bagchi said that by leveraging big data & analytics, businesses create the potential to better understand, manage, and strategically exploiting the complex dynamics of customer behavior. It reveals how to tap into the powerful tool of data analytics to create a strategic advantage and identify new business opportunities. He also said that Big Data is more than a decade old term that became very popular recently in life sciences and other fields. He also gave simple examples related to the real life projects where Data Science is doing wonders. He said that Big Data has been for long out there somewhere, strolling around in the hope of being noticed. Detailing the applications, along with relevant examples of every industry vertical, it also brings to light the key Industry-specific challenges being faced. With every Industry, we move a step closer into understanding the world of big data from how it is being applied to solve a lot of our problems. This info graphic tries to capture the essence of what Big Data means for different Industry sectors. Even though, Big Data specific challenges have been covered in detail here, it is to be noted that the biggest factor in Big Data implementation has been the funding issues encountered by the industries in these sectors.Most industries are still evaluating whether there is value in implementation of Big Data, while some have taken the plunge already. There are different category sets of Industry groups, those who are just testing waters to serious players who are creating products which will utilize Big Data. While addressing the students he also mentioned that if you are at a large company with huge amounts of data, or working at a company where the product itself is especially data-driven, it may be the case that you will want to be familiar with machine learning methods. This can mean things like k-nearest neighbors, random forests, ensemble methods, the entire machine learning buzzwords. It’s true that a lot of these techniques can be implemented using R or Python libraries – because of this, it’s not necessarily a deal breaker if you are not the world’s leading expert on how the algorithms work. More important is to understand the broad strokes and really understand when it is appropriate to use different techniques. Overall the session was very interactive and informative for all the attendees.

Objective of the Workshop:

• This Workshop will help the student to better understand the 3D Printing Technology including the Types of 3D Printers available, Types of material choices, the functioning of 3D Printer and related 3D Design Systems.
• After attending this Workshop students will be able to :
  • Explain the functioning of 3D Printers.
  • Distinguish between Types of 3D Printers and Printing Materials.
  • Explain basics of 3D designs and related Software Systems.

Pre-requisite:Basic knowledge of Operating a Computer System.

The Students from MCA Programme attended this workshop; the functioning of a 3D Printer was explained by the resource person followed by the live demonstration of the 3D Printing. The resource person created a 3D Design of a Mechanical Gear in front of students and then printed it using a 3D Printer in front of the students.

Students interacted with the resource person to get a deep insight of the technology and to clear various questions which were popping in their minds.

More than 65 students attended this workshop. The purpose of workshop was to aware the students about the Aptitude questions of C language which are generally asked by IT companies. The topics covered in the workshop are:

• Data types
• Array
• Pointers
• Macros

The multiple choice questions are also discussed in the workshop with their description. After all workshop was very interactive and informative

The resource persons in workshop were the coordinators of C club— Prof. Rakesh Roshan & Prof. Chandra Mani Sharma. Students of MCA-V semester attended the workshop. Around 50 students were present in the workshop.
The session started with an online quiz wherein participants took a test comprising of C aptitude questions. The time allotted for quiz was 20 minutes. Result and feedback was shared with each student. The solution of questions of quiz was discussed in later part of the workshop to reinforce better learning among participants.
Prof. Chandra Mani Sharma began the workshop with some problems on patterns in C. He discussed how to develop logic and code to print different types of simple and complex patterns. He unleashed many tricks of writing good code. Prof. Sharma further discussed output based problems in C which are asked in aptitude tests of many recruiters.
In subsequent session, Prof. Rakesh Roshan discussed some problems on array and pointers. He described how pointers can be used to write efficient code with fewer lines.
During the workshop, students were given fresh problems to implement solutions in C. Students also requested to conduct some more workshop on same line in futures as well.
Overall, it was a nice learning experience for participants.

The speaker Mr. Kapil Kalra, Chief Manager, Larsen & Toubro explained the various financial tools starting with the basic excel tools to the advanced financial tools such as scenario analysis, goal seek, vlook up, loan amortization schedule, valuation models used in industry and many more.
