Practical Integrated Workshop on C-programming

The department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, in association with ISTE Student Chapter and Cloud-E Mysuru, organized a 3-day practical integrated workshop on C-programming internals, from 23 to 25 March 2017. Mr. Mahesh Padyana of Cloud-E, who is also the adjunct faculty in the department of ECE SMVITM, was the resource person. Interested students of sixth semester ECE participated in the workshop.

Mr. Padyana, who has over two decades of experience in industry, and who was part of the recruitment team of Larsen & Toubro, said that most of the engineering graduates lack fundamental knowledge of C programming, because of which they cannot be employed in the electronics and computer industries. The primary reason for this, he said, is the wrong method adapted in colleges, wherein, the students are made to memorize from the text books and reproduce in the examination. More focus is currently given to the theoretical knowledge rather than to the practical exposure, because of which, the students tend to forget what they have learnt, after stepping out of the examination hall. To overcome this drawback, he said, through his company Cloud-E, they conduct practical integrated workshops engineering students on different topics throughout Karnataka

Earlier, Dr. Balachandra Achar, HOD of ECE department, gave a prelude to the workshop and welcomed the resource person. HOD of Civil Engineering and in-charge Principal Dr. B Radheshyam, faculty and staff of ECE department were present during the inaugural session. The program which began with the invocation by Assistant Professor Mrs. Rashmi KR, was compered by Ms. Vijetha Jain. ISTE office bearers Mrs. Laxmi, Ms. Sowmya and Mr. Raghavendra coordinated the arrangements for the workshop.
