During the academic year, the Department of Computer Science embarked on a mission to provide a comprehensive learning journey for its students. It wasn’t just about classroom lectures but about creating a vibrant environment that nurtured skills, creativity, and camaraderie. One of the cornerstone initiatives was ‘Tech Thursday’, a weekly Instagram post brimming with the latest tech insights and facts, keeping everyone aware of the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
The essence of skill enrichment came through specialized sessions and workshops. Mr. Prasanna Prem took the stage, unravelling the intricacies of Tableau in a session that left students equipped with newfound knowledge. Dr. Priyanka Padhy, with her expertise, led the Research Writing 101 workshop, unlocking the secrets to crafting impeccable research papers—a vital skill in academia and beyond. In the spirit of fostering teamwork and igniting creativity, a Halloween-themed team bonding session was organized with hilarious and witty games.
The Viksit Bharat campaign brought forth a digital poster-making competition, merging technology with artistic expression. The department collaborated with college’s NSS chapter and Expressions- the creative writing society. This brought about an AI-themed competition on the occasion of Nexus, and an Article Writing competition showcasing the diverse talents within the department. Amidst these activities, Teachers’ Day stood as a testament to the impact of the dedicated faculty members, celebrated with heartfelt gratitude and admiration.
Euphoria, the two-day annual meet was themed ‘Decode the Unknown: Innovate, Create, Transcend’ and was a big success. The journey to Euphoria was paved with engaging pre-events designed to ignite minds and foster camaraderie. ‘CTRL+ALT+RUN’ and ‘Dhundo Tho Jane’ challenged students with campus races and problem-solving quests, testing their resourcefulness. The grand spectacle kicked off with a captivating speaker session led by Wing Commander Anurag Chandra, Deputy Director of the Indian Air Force, delving into the realm of ‘Ethical Considerations in AI and Cybersecurity’. His insights illuminated the ethical dimensions of AI in the context of cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for ethical frameworks. The day ended with the fierce Terrabytes Competition, where students seamlessly integrated cutting-edge technology with Sustainable Development Goals. The following day commenced with the Power BI workshop conducted by Utkarsh Sharma, a Power BI admin at American Express, delving deep into the art of data visualization and analysis. The crescendo of Euphoria was marked by the Excel Expedition Competition, a thrilling showcase of analytical mastery, where participants navigated complex datasets with finesse and creativity.
The department’s commitment to knowledge dissemination shone brightly throughout the year with the publication of three enlightening newsletters and the annual magazine. These acted as beacons, showcasing the profound influence of technology on our lives and society at large. The academic year wasn’t just a series of events; it was a symphony of learning and community, painting a vibrant picture of a department committed to the holistic development of its students.
