  1. Knowledge sharing sessions:-

We believe in knowledge sharing sessions among students and faculties. Students who have developed prototype or have come out with good projects conduct a knowledge sharing session to other students sharing their practical knowledge. They demonstrate their prototype explaining them the technical details of the same. This motivates the other students and becomes the seed for the next project. One such session was conducted by Mr.Jarvis, a student of AE department on developing UAVs. One other session conducted recently was by Mr.Hariharan, ECE student on raspberry pi technology. Faculties also conduct knowledge sharing sessions after attending workshops or conferences to share the knowledge they had gained in it with others.

 

  1. Software development club:-

MVJCE had inaugurated the “Software development club” on 10-2-2016. Mr.Atanu Dasgupta, R&D engineer from HP had inaugurated the club.
