Here the students go t the opportunity to explore papers written corresponding to the various e ngineering domains and this also helped them in understanding the proper f ormat and method of writing a paper.\n\n[]\n\nAgenda: \nIEEE PaperQuest 20 24: A Journey Through Technical Innovation\n\nAs part of the IEEE Day cele brations\, the IEEE Student Branch at Don Bosco College of Engineering\, G oa organized IEEE PaperQuest 2024 on October 4th\, 2024. Themed Journey Th rough Technical Innovation\, the event aimed to enhance participants’ sk ills in research methodologies\, paper analysis\, and presentation techniq ues by working with research papers sourced from IEEE Xplore. With over 60 students participating\, the event featured four technical tracks: Digita l Systems and VLSI\, Remote Sensing and GIS\, Robotics and Control Systems \, and Machine Learning\, Cloud\, and Data Analytics\, providing a compreh ensive platform for students to learn and showcase their expertise.\n\nThe hosts opened the event by emphasizing the significance of IEEE Day\, whic h celebrates advancements in technology that contribute to the progress of humanity. They also underscored the event’s core goal—equipping stude nts with the skills to effectively analyze\, present\, and discuss researc h papers\, fostering a deeper understanding of technical innovations.\n\nT rack Summaries\n\n1. Digital Systems and VLSI Track\n\nThe Digital Systems and VLSI track kicked off with presentations on the latest advancements i n the accelerators\, computations\, testing & testability. The participant s engaged the audience with their knowledge and were further enriched by i nsightful question-and-answer sessions with the judges\, Dr. Vidhya D. S a nd Prof. Maria Christina Barretto.\n\n2. Remote Sensing and GIS Track\n\nT his track delved into the real-world applications of GIS and Remote Sensin g in areas like urban planning\, disaster management\, and environmental m onitoring. The research presented explored the practical implications of t hese technologies\, and the session was evaluated by Dr. Shweta Prasanna a nd Prof. Melba D’Souza\, who provided thought-provoking feedback to the participants.\n\n3. Machine Learning and Data Analytics Track\n\nFocusing on innovative approaches in data analysis\, machine learning\, and artific ial intelligence\, this track featured eight teams who presented their res earch across various applications. The judges\, Dr. Gaurang Patkar and Pro f. Deron Rodrigues\, engaged in stimulating discussions with the participa nts\, offering valuable feedback that enhanced the learning experience for all.\n\n4. Robotics and Control Systems Track\n\nThe Robotics and Control Systems track showcased cutting-edge research\, with topics ranging from Robust Wireless Control of a Six-Wheeled All-Terrain Vehicle to Object-Awa re and Precision Grasping for Robotic Arms and RFID-Based Semi-Autonomous Robotics Library Management Systems. Judges Dr. Shreyas Simu and Prof. Fla via Leitao commended the participants for their creativity and technical p rowess\, offering guidance for further improvement.\n\nProf. Yeshudas Mutt u\, the IEEE DBCE SB Counselor\, presented tokens of appreciation to the j udges at the end of each session. The event’s various tracks were hosted by Mr. Hrishikesh Bhave\, Mr. Soham Tulaskar\, and Mr. Vihaan Naik Karmal i\, who kept the audience engaged throughout the day. The event concluded with a group photo\, capturing the spirit of IEEE PaperQuest 2024—a cele bration of collaboration\, innovation\, and learning\, marking the student s' journey through technical innovation.\n\nDon Bosco College of Engineeri ng\, Fatorda\,\, Margao\,Goa\, Goa\, India\, 403602 LOCATION:Don Bosco College of Engineering\, Fatorda\,\, Margao\,Goa\, Goa\, India\, 403602 ORGANIZER:ieee@dbcegoa.ac.in SEQUENCE:48 SUMMARY:IEEE day celebration: weekly activities part 2 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/439282 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>IEEE Day celebrations were continued with the same enthusiasm and zeal with our second event "<strong><span style="f ont-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,ser if\; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-lati n\; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN\; mso-fareast-language: EN-US\; mso-bidi-lang uage: AR-SA\;">IEEE PaperQuest 2024".&nbsp\;</span></strong><span style="f ont-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,ser if\; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-lati n\; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN\; mso-fareast-language: EN-US\; mso-bidi-lang uage: AR-SA\;">Here the students got the opportunity to explore papers wri tten corresponding to the various engineering domains and this also helped them in understanding the proper format and method of writing a paper.</s pan></p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\; mso-fareast-f ont-family: Calibri\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-ansi-langu age: EN-IN\; mso-fareast-language: EN-US\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;"><im g src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/c50fd2c7-347 e-4130-9dcc-e95381b93f4b" alt="" width="400" height="400"></span></p><br / ><br />Agenda: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center\;" ali gn="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; f ont-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">IEEE PaperQuest 2024: A Journey Th rough Technical Innovation</span></strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style ="text-align: justify\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107 %\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">As part of the IEEE Day celeb rations\, the IEEE Student Branch at Don Bosco College of Engineering\, Go a organized IEEE PaperQuest 2024 on October 4th\, 2024.
