\"\"An expert talk titled \u201cAI Frontier: Accelerating Research\u201d was conducted for the 6th semester ECE students. The session focused on how AI-powered platforms can significantly support and accelerate the academic research lifecycle.<\/p>\n

The talk began with an overview of research as a systematic and structured process aimed at discovering new knowledge and solving engineering problems. Students were guided on identifying research gaps and organizing their work using the standard IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) structure commonly followed in conference and journal publications.<\/p>\n
