EVENTS REPORT Introduction The Electrical Engineers Association (EEA) was started as an
effort to make engineering a passion rather than letting it
remain a monotonous way of life. It was one of the premier
branch associations to be started in the history of the
institute. Since then it has become an integral part of the
Electrical Engineering Department. From a small beginning it
has come a long way in participating in various issues
pertaining to Electrical and Electronics Engineering. It has
been involved in organizing various activities ranging from
various mock tests to seminars.
The EEA has always been a major contributor towards
organizing NIT Calicut’s technical festival, Tathva. Its EEA is a
student friendly association and has always aimed at
promoting the interests of the students. Its main focus has
always been to uplift engineering standards.
This is an archive of reports of events conducted by EEA in the
previous academic year. A tentative list of events planned to
be conducted by EEA in the upcoming future is also listed
towards the end.

OVERVIEW
The subject of electrical and electronics engineering requires students to have a strong
understanding of the fundamental principles of electricity and the ability to apply them
for finding solutions to real life engineering problems. They also need hands on
experience to complement their theoretical knowledge. In order to achieve this,
Electrical Engineers Association, NIT Calicut decided to conduct a summer camp for the
present second years.
The camp was a resounding success with more than fifty students registering for the
camp. The camp was held from 7th July to 25th
July and the forty students who
attended the camp were extremely satisfied with the scope and depth of the matter
that was taught. Numerous components were purchased and distributed to the students
and classes were taken on a wide array of topics ranging from microcontroller

PROJECTS DEVELOPED
The summer camp helped to motivate and inspire the students to come up with a large number of
project ideas, many of which are under construction and some of which have already been completed.
Here we present a list of some of the most significant projects.
Completed Projects
1. Slayer Exciter: The slayer exciter is a solid state Tesla coil that produces at the
lower end of the high voltage spectrum at extremely high frequencies and works on
the principle of magnified resonance transformation. The device is currently being
researched by our team to use in wireless energy transmission for fluorescent
lighting purposes.
2. Plasma Speaker: This is a type of speaker that works by varying air pressure using
a high voltage spark gap. The design that we adopted uses a 555 timer IC to produce
a PWM signal that is modulated with an audio signal. This PWM signal is given to a
fly back transformer which creates an ark between the spark gaps. The variation in
width and temperature of the ark by the PWM signal produces sound.
3. Mouse Controlled Robotic Arm: A custom made robotic arm is controlled by a
PS/2 mouse in Arduino UNO. The codes, including the interfacing of the mouse has
been done in Arduino itself. The arm consists of two servos and a High-torque
motor which is driven by L2938 IC. All connections were soldered into a compact
module on a dotted board for mobility.
Projects under development
4. Bluetooth Controlled Robot: This project uses an arduino board interfaced with a HC-
05 Bluetooth module to control a robot. The move commands are send via an android
application. The motor IC LM32D is used to drive the motors of the robot.
5. Reaction Time Tester: A random blink of an led, on a 3x3 matrix along with a 3x3 array
of buttons to capture the user’s response were soldered into a dotted board. The setup
could calculate the player’s reaction time to touch the button corresponding to the random
LED and display it on a 2x16 LCD screen. The project was achieved with Atmega 32 MCU
and the codes were indigenously made by us.
6. Reverse Parking Assistance: A distance sensor measures the distance of the nearest
obstacle on the rear side of the vehicle and displays the distance on an LCD. When the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is very less, the driver is alerted. If the
distance reduces further, the vehicle is stopped automatically.
7. Pocket Theft Alarm: An alarm system used to alert the user when a theft occurs. This
project is implemented using operational amplifiers.
8. Voice Controlled Device Switching: Devices like bulb, fan etc. are controlled using
voice commands by sending the commands through Bluetooth to a microcontroller. The
scope of this project could be extended to control many other electrical equipments. This
project can be of great help for the physically challenged people.
9. Automatic Water Pumping System: The pumping of water to overhead tanks is
automated using a simple circuit consisting of 555 IC and relays to activate the motor. The
pumping of water starts automatically when the water level falls below the lower threshold
and the pumping stops when it reaches the upper threshold. The idea can be implemented
in real life to avoid wastage of water, reducing man power at pumping stations etc.

Tathva 2015
OVERVIEW AND EXPENSE REPORT
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS ASSOCIATION
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TCHNOLOGY | CALICUT
Overview
One of the major undertakings of EEA is the Tathva Stall. The hard
work that the members put in throughout the year has made this year’s
EEA stall a resounding success. The stall had numerous electronics
as well as electrical projects. This year’s exhibit occupied 2 rooms in
the Electronics Lecture Hall Complex and had more projects than all
preceding years. This was mainly due to the substantial increase in
the number of electrical projects that were included. The stall was
active on the 30th and 31st of October. A huge number of people
visited the stall, including student groups from nearby schools. They
had very positive reviews about the stall.
Jobs and Responsibilities
The 1st year EEE students who aspire to join EEA were put in charge
of explanation of the easier projects.
The 2nd year EEA executives were in charge of the stall and provided
the explanation of the working principles of the more complex
projects to the audiences.
The 3rd years undertook the overall management of the stall and
devised logistics required to ensure smooth conduction of the stall.
The 4th years maintained quality control and ensured that the stall
was up to the high standards that is expected from an event
conducted by EEA.
Projects Exhibited
TESLA COIL : The tesla coil was built as a joint project by the third year
and fourth year EEA members. This was one of the most ambitious
projects undertaken by EEA and the overall cost of completing the
project was around 15,000 INR.
8x8x8 LED CUBE : The LED cube was yet another project that captured
the curiosity of the audience. It involved 512 LEDs connected to an
Arduino board that was programmed to display 3- dimensional
messages. It finds application in small scale display and interior
design.
VOICE ENABLED DEVICE CONTROL : The Arduino board is controlled by
Android speech recognition using an app AMR (Android Meets
Robots), via Bluetooth. The app works by pressing the mic button,
then it will wait for you to say a command. The app will then display
the words that you've stated and will send data strings for the Arduino
to process.
BLUETOOTH CONTROLLED ROBOT : This project uses an Arduino board
to control two motor wheels attached to the robot via a motor driver
IC. Direction instructions are sent to the Arduino board via a bluetooth
module paired to an android phone using a custom made app.
GSM BASED DEVICE SWITCHING : This project uses a SIM 900 GSM
module along with an Arduino board and relays to control electrical
devices. Devices connected to the Arduino can be controlled either by
sending SMS text or by sending voice commands to the installed SIM.
Other Notable Projects Include:
• RFID Security System
• Jacobs Ladder
• Slayer Exciter
• Self-Burning Wood
• Tic-Tac-Toe
• Panic Alarm
• Gravity Light
• Gesture Controlled Robot
• Reverse Car Parking
• Obstacle Avoiding Car Reaction Timer Game

Points for Improvement
EEA BELIEVES THAT NO MATTER HOW GOOD WE MAKE OUR EVENTS, THERE IS
ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
This year there has been a suggestion to avoid placing first year for
explaining projects since they have an incomplete understanding of
its working principles. And the second years were recommended
for carrying out the same. This suggestion will be brought up in the
meetings leading up to next year’s Tathva.

PROJECTS
The summer camp was conducted with an aim to inspire students to pursue projects
of their own which involve honing skills in programming and circuit simulations.
Few projects that are currently under development:
Number plate recognition
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is an image processing technology
which uses number (license) plate to identify the vehicle. The objective is to
design an efficient automatic authorized vehicle identification system by using the
vehicle number plate.
Neural Network Based Face Recognition Using Matlab
A face recognition system is a computer vision and it automatically identifies a
human face from database images. The face recognition problem is challenging as it
needs to account for all possible appearance variation caused by change in
illumination, facial features, occlusions, etc.
Arduino playing piano tiles
Using a light sensor, relay, and arduino, a circuit is made to play piano tiles. Depending
on the specification of the components used and the precision of the source code, this can
be made to play the game even at very high speeds (approximately 21 tiles/sec being the
world record).
LED illusion mirror
A mirror, plane glass, led bulbs and a tin foil ,if arranged in the desired manner
will create an optical illusion which looks something like LED tunnel.
Electrical Engineering Association
LED matrix controlled via bluetooth and arduino
An 8*8 led matrix android app is made into which the user may enter their desired
pattern. This is connected to red dot matrix module via an arduino and a Bluetooth
module. The mirror image of the pattern which given on the phone will be then
diplayed.
Electronic voting machine using Arduino board
Components include push buttons, arduino uno, 16*2 LCD and bread board
Working: The candidate may press the button corresponding to the desired item, doing
do will increment the voting value for that particular item by one. The ‘result’ button
may be used to get the number of votes per item. This process of recording and
summation of votes is achieved using an arduino uno board. The result is displayed on
an LCD screen.
Voice controlled bot
Any device may be controlled using voice inputs to a mobile phone. A Bluetooth
module will play interface to the data transfer between the phone and the arduino board
that brings about a desired output based on the voice input. The voice input is
transferred in form of data strings using an android app.
Gesture controlled device switching
Proximity sensors and accelerometers can be used to realize gesture controlled circuits.
The output of the accelerometer or the proximity sensor that varies with gestures may
be fed into an arduino board for further processing to give the desired effect.

EEA Induction Tour
As a part of the Electrical Engineers Association's annual
activities ,an induction tour to Wayanad was conducted on 14
and 15 of January ,2017 . It was a two day long trip .Three
faculty members and about 50 students attended the tour .
From sight seeing( in Suchipara,Edakkal caves and
Kuruvadweep) to camp fire ,the tour was memorable .The
camp fire was followed by the selection of various position
holders from third year students .The tour also paved a way
for welcoming the junior executives of the association.
EAT EXAM 2017
Electrical Aptitude Test (EAT, 2017) was conducted on 7, 8 and 9 of
February 2017 for the first year EEE students . As the preliminary
round , an aptitude test was conducted on 7,February 2017 . Around
120 first year's turned up, which was the highest number of students
ever attending the exam in EAT history .The qualified students were
screened by a Group Discussion conducted on 8th and shortlisted
people attended the interview on 9th. Ms .Sruthi Manta was declared
the EAT winner, the three runner-ups were also decided . Prizes for
the winners was awarded by the HOD of EEE department, Dr. Ashok K
