The Department of Information Science and Engineering organized club activity entitled ‘TESOURO’, on 11th April 2019, at Seminar Hall 4. The event started at 8:30 am and ended at 4:00 pm, and was attended by 100 students from ISE, along with students from other departments (CSE, AE), too.
The event comprised of three rounds. 100 students participated in the first round. 20 teams (each team consisting of 2 students) went into the second round, and 10 teams (with 2 students in each team) into the third round.
This was a Quiz, with a bunch of questions about Science and interesting aptitude questions. Twenty tricky questions on technology and innovations in science were there, and these had to be solved within 20 minutes. Each question carried one mark. The questions were uploaded on kahoot.it. Participants needed to use their own devices (Mobile/Laptop) connected on the internet.
This round was preceded by a Guest Lecture on ‘IoT’ by Prof. C Murali, Academician and Educationist from IETE, Bangalore. His sessions covered various real time applications of IoT, Data management, big Data Analytics in IoT and its challenges. It was a brainstorming session that created a bonding experience, and more importantly, got people thinking and communicating with each other on topics relevant to the booming technology in IT Sectors.
