SPARK CLUB ACTIVITY on Prototype Development of Electrical Power Generation

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at MVJCE organized a SPARK Club Activity centered around the topic of 'Prototype Development of Electrical Power Generation'. This event took place on December 9^th, 2023, in Laboratory rooms 124 & 125, commencing at 1:30 pm and concluding at 4:30 pm. A total of 48 students from the 3^rd and 5^th semesters of the EEE department participated in this engaging activity.

The event commenced with a Welcome Address and Guest Introduction. The esteemed Chief Guest for the occasion was Mr. Nanda Kishore L, Senior Engineer in Solar at DNV, Bengaluru. The topic for the prototype development was shared with the students three days prior to the event, allowing ample time for preparation. During the event, 13 student teams showcased and demonstrated the prototypes they had developed, showcasing their innovative creations in the field of electrical power generation.

Phase 1 (Topic Sharing for Technical Writing)

• The technical writing topic was shared with the students.
• Students were required to form groups of four members and develop a prototype based on the given topic.
• Each batch of students was expected to demonstrate the model they had developed during Phase 2.

Phase 2 (Presentation)

• Students were to showcase the models they developed in the first round.
• The students were required to respond to questions raised by the resource person.
• Winners and Runner-ups were selected based on the technical aspects of the prototype, the quality of the demonstration, aesthetics, and the effectiveness of the answers provided to the questions.

PRIZE WINNERS:

1^st prize winners – Mohammed Anas, Tejas A, Annapoorna, and Manjunath B

2^nd prize winners – Suraj M, Manjunath, Deekshitha L and Ajay Kumar T

OUTCOME OF THE EVENT:

The club activity aimed to empower students' confidence, enhance their thinking levels, and develop their technical skills, fostering teamwork in preparation for their future industry employment.

• It developed problem-solving and creative thinking skills in various Power Generation Systems.
