Goals of SKEP Program

Main goals of SKEP include professional skills development, imparting technical expertise to develop viable applications, disseminating useful knowledge from current fields of interest to the beneficiaries and inculcating technical and logical thinking among the student community. SKEP programs are conducted by invited experts on the state-of-the-art topics from among the research, academic and industrial areas. The intended audience are students, faculty, IEEE members and other interested persons from research, industry and academic institutions.

SKEP programs usually of either lecture or tutorial in format and are intended to be highly interactive. Please refer to the accompanying list of topics currently offered in both formats. The platform provided is expected to be a perfect avenue for industry-institute-academia interactions with ideas, opinions and visions being exchanged freely. Where as the lectures are typically of 90 minutes in duration, the tutorials will run day long. Active participation of the audience during the sessions is highly desirable.

While Bombay Section takes care of the travel of the SKEP speakers to the venues, the host institution is expected to organize accommodation and local hospitality for them. The host may also arrange light refreshments for the attendees of the SKEP sessions and adequate publicity of the SKEP events within their institution. Please note that in general the Section will not provide participation certificates for SKEP sessions unless specified otherwise.

List of Topics Covered Under SKEP Program

The venues of SKEP programs span colleges and other institutions spread over length and breadth of this Section’s geography. In order to efficiently organize SKEP sessions at various geographical regions of the Section, it is advisable that academic institutions co-located in a city or region, pool together and organize the SKEP sessions during the same period. This will help sharing the accommodation expenses for the SKEP speakers and costs of other arrangements. Besides this will also help the Section with necessary logistics.

What, where and when the SKEP sessions could be organized are almost entirely limited by the enthusiasm and active involvement of the IEEE Bombay Section Student Branches as well as heads or senior members of the academic, research and industrial units.

Satyanarayana (Dr.Satyanarayana.Bheesette@ieee.org / 09987537702) or  Prof. Saurabh Mehta (saurabh.mehta@vit.edu.in / 9833955002) requesting a SKEP program in your institution for the current and the next Semester.

Skill Development Workshops

In these workshops students will learn the importance of upcoming technologies such as of Embedded System/ IoT /Machine learning, etc and trends for the future. These workshops are hands-on course especially designs for UG/PG students to develop their hardware and programming skills. These courses will help students to develop their research interest, Proof of Concept (PoC), and prototyping their ideas.
