This occasion not on ly marked the launch of a new chapter dedicated to the dynamic field of Ve ry Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) but also celebrated the achievements and aspirations of the IEEE student branch at BIT. The event brought together a prestigious group of guests\, faculty members\, students\, and professi onals\, highlighting the importance of the new chapter in advancing techno logical research and innovation.\n\n- Shri Ashok S.D. Jayaram\, Chairman o f BIT\, addressed the gathering and highlighted the importance of VLSI in today’s fast-paced technological world. He noted that the establishment of the IEEE VLSI Chapter is a step towards enriching BIT’s academic land scape by creating opportunities for students to engage in cutting-edge res earch and connect with industry professionals.\n- Dr. Aswath M.U\, Princip al of BIT\, emphasized the institution’s commitment to providing student s with worldHe also spoke about the active participation and engagement of the club in the institution.\n- Dr. Vijaya Prakash A.M\, Head of the Depa rtment of VLSI\, shared his excitement about the chapter’s establishment \, stressing that it would provide a platform for students to gain practic al knowledge in VLSI design\, fabrication\, and related fields. .\n- Dr. H emanth Kumar A.R\, Dean of Academics\, expressed his support for the chapt er and emphasized how it aligns with BIT’s academic mission to foster co ntinuous learning and growth.\n- Mr. Aloke Das\, Chair of IEEE CAS Bangalo re\, gave a keynote address\, congratulating the BIT community for launchi ng the VLSI Chapter. He spoke about the global impact of IEEE chapters and the role they play in shaping the future of technology.\n\nThe chapter ai ms to organize a variety of events such as workshops\, seminars\, conferen ces\, and hands-on projects that will provide members with the knowledge a nd skills needed to excel in the VLSI domain. Additionally\, the chapter w ill act as a conduit for collaborations with research labs\, technology co mpanies\, and other IEEE chapters around the world\, helping students acce ss global opportunities and stay updated with the latest advancements in t he field.\n\nA momentous part of the event was the Badging Ceremony\, wher e the new EXECOM (Executive Committee) team of the IEEE BIT VLSI Chapter w as formally introduced and given their badges.This marked the official han dover of responsibilities to the new team\, who will lead the chapter’s initiatives for the upcoming term. The new EXECOM members were warmly cong ratulated and encouraged to take the chapter to new heights of success by engaging students\, organizing impactful events\, and forging collaboratio ns with industry professionals.\n\nAs we embark on this new journey with t he IEEE BIT VLSI Chapter\, let us remember that innovation begins with cur iosity\, and progress is fuelled by collaboration. Let this chapter be a r eminder that the pursuit of knowledge is limitless\, and with passion\, de dication\, and teamwork\, we can turn our dreams into impactful realities. The future of VLSI is in our hands—let us create it.Top of Form\n\nBott om of Form\n\nRoom: Seminar hall\, Bldg: Main building\, Bangalore\, Karna taka\, India\, 560004 LOCATION:Room: Seminar hall\, Bldg: Main building\, Bangalore\, Karnataka\, India\, 560004 ORGANIZER:jalajas@ieee.org SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:INAUGURATION OF VLSI CHAPTER URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/471393 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: cente r\;" align="center"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'\, times\, serif\;"><strong><span style="font-size: 16.0pt\; line-height: 115%\;">INA UGURATION OF VLSI CHAPTER</span></strong></span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center\;" align="center"><span style="font-family: 'ti mes new roman'\, times\, serif\;"><img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org /vtools_ui/media/display/f0e28056-be70-447c-83d2-3362ed2e9759" width="240" height="214"><br><!--[endif]--></span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="t ext-align: justify\;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'\, times\ , serif\;">On 21st February 2025\, the Ramegowda Seminar Hall at BIT was t he venue for a significant and momentous event&mdash\;the inauguration of the IEEE BIT VLSI Chapter.
