IEEE actively supports global accreditation to further the future of the engineering

profession. The IEEE SB GEC Kozhikode focuses on what’s next in the

technology rather than what’s new. The student branch of Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineering-Kozhikode, has worked ever since 2013 with the

motto of –advancing technology for humanity.

We started off with this year’s activity via a general body meeting on – 3rd

February 2016, following the election of the executive committee members.

Former councilor Sir Pradeep Bharathan precided over the meeting. The newly

elected Executive committee members were:

Branch Councillor- Dr. Meenakshi

Chairman- Rabeeh P.C

Vice Chairman-Juanita Mendonza

Secretary-Ann Mary Wilson

Treasurer- Rakesh S and Sanoop Thomas

Link representative-Sachin R Das and Adarsh K M

Joint Secretary – Anupriya C

MD coordinates-Arun Johnson

WIE Co-Ordinator – Susmitha T K

Based on the previous year’s activities a plan was designed for the academic year

2016-2017.The plan was to:

1. Attract, retain and motivate talented young engineering minds.

2. To conduct training programs giving exposure to new technologies, raising

the hands-on skill, extending study network while delivering value.

3. To conduct competitions on various technological arenas in order to evaluate

individual and group performances of members and fellow students.

4. To reward the performances of the members as a token of encouragement.

5. To conduct social activities joined with the local governance, to uplift the

technical knowledge of the society.

The discussion came to an end with the above decisions; assigning duties to the

newly elected executive committee members.

19th April 2016

A one day Arduino workshop was conducted with 80 students in Seminar hall of

GEC Kozhikode. The students were exposed to hands on training on Arduino

programming and designing their projects. The classes were handled by engineers

Arun Babu and Anjali S Goerge, the former students of GEC Kozhikode.

3rd September 2016

IEEE SB GEC Kozhikode conducted a PCB workshop organized by IEEE

Executive committee members-Adarsh K M, Rabeeh P C, Rakesh, Sanoop

Thomas, Chandana, Aswathi Y M. In this workshop the 70 participants were

taught how to design PCB using Proteus software and used this designed circuit to

implement an automated street light control system. We got many positive feed

backs and the program was a great success.

28th September 2016

As part of IEEE day celebrations 2016 the Kerala IEEE section officiated a torch

relay which was carried out for 8 days along a 700 km distance across 14 locations.

The IEEE student branch of GEC Kozhikode hosted this torch relay reception as it

was selected as one of the above locations. This torch relay reception was followed

by an entrepreneur speech by Ann Mary Wilson, the secretary of IEEE SB GEC

Kozhikode. It was followed by enlightening sessions by Sachin R Das and Juanita

Mendonza. Around 40 students from various colleges participated in this event.

15th September 2016

Celebrating Engineers day 2016 and the week of observation, the IEEE SB GEC

Calicut conducted students quiz ‘Kaleidoscope’ and enigma quiz prelims on

science and technology.20 groups participated in this event and the winners were

awarded with exciting prizes.

4th October 2016

IEEE SB GEC Kozhikode joining hands with power electronics society organized

the power quiz prelims. This was aimed to enhance the knowledge on power

related issues in our Nation. Athul Mohan bagged the first place and certificates

were awarded.

5th October 2016

KSEB quiz prelims was organized and Sachin R Das and Susmita Kavalil was

declared as winners, therefore qualifying for the state level competition. In the

state level they achieved the second place; A golden achievement for IEEE SB

GEC Kozhikode.

20th October 2016

As part of college level IEEE day celebration our IEEE SB conducted ENIGMA

quiz 2016 on history, science and technology. About 20 groups with 2 each

participated and 6 groups were selected for finals. Adarsh and Clint won the quiz

and Cash prize of Rs 2000/- was awarded.

From the inspiration received from the inter-collegiate event and robotic workshop

in ‘Tathva- 2016’@ NIT Calicut, we decided to start a robotics club for all robotic

lovers. The inauguration of Robotic society was conducted on 201/10/2016 by

principal Dr.Sheeba with the working of gesture controlled robot made by our

IEEE members.

In addition to all the above programs we have maintained an organized

membership record. We see a steady increase in members across the years and the

IEEE student branch at GEC Kozhikode is growing out and branching actively into

various technological areas.
