On 5 March, K S Institute of Technology brought 107 fourth-semester ECE students and their faculty to the lab, organised by the department’s Industry Institute Interaction Cell.
Gangadhara Kamath, our Director and Co-founder, opened with the three things that make an engineer: knowledge, skills and attitude. Ajmal Atar used a live PLC and a small model line to connect what the students had just studied, logic circuits, sensors and microcontrollers, to how a factory runs. Srinivas Prabhu talked about why this is a golden time for electronics engineers, and why the fourth semester is the right time to start an internship.
Brian Britto then took the students round the floor in two batches: Siemens and Delta PLC and HMI panels, the pneumatic bench, the SCARA robots and the station where code goes from a laptop to a machine.
“What really stood out to me was how small concepts from multiple subjects combine together to create a complete system.”
