The event focused on introducing students to professional skills\, d igital tools\, and innovative learning through teamwork and mentorship.\n\ nObjectives:\n• Introduce first-year students to essential digital and p rofessional tools.\n• Encourage teamwork\, collaboration\, and mentorshi p.\n• Provide hands-on experience with tools like Canva\, LinkedIn\, Not ion\, Discord\, Notebook LM\, and Napkin AI.\n• Enhance networking\, com munication\, and problem-solving skills.\n• Help students develop skills that will support them throughout their engineering studies.\n\nBrief Des cription\nF.A.I.L 2025 was a two-day immersive learning experience for fir st-year students\, combining workshops\, interactive sessions\, and mentor ship. The event began with an inaugural function on 11th October\, attende d by distinguished guests:\n• Prof. Abhishek Deshmukh (Chair\, IEEE NKSS )\n• Dr. Sangamesh Y. Goudappanavar (Branch Counselor\, BEC-IEEE SB)\n • Dr. B. F. Ronad (Treasurer\, IEEE NKSS)\n• Prof. Mahantesh Chikkades ai (Co-Chair SAC\, IEEE NKSS)\n• Dr. Vijayalakshmi S. Jigajinni (WIE & R AS Faculty Advisor)\nDay 1 – 11th October 2025\nThe first day focused on foundational professional skills and team bonding:\n• Report Writing & Email Etiquette: Participants learned structured report writing and profe ssional communication.\n• Canva Workshop: Students practiced designing creative visuals and presentations.\n• LinkedIn : Guidance on creating p rofessional profiles and networking effectively.\n• Networking & Ice-Br eaking Activities: Fun activities were conducted to help students connect with peers and mentors.\nParticipants were divided into 18 teams\, each gu ided by 3 mentors\, promoting collaboration\, teamwork\, and problem-solvi ng.\n\nDay 2 – 12th October 2025\nThe second day started with the Presen tation Round held in the Gallery Hall\, where teams showcased their learni ngs\, projects\, and ideas developed during the sessions. This was followe d by a GitHub session\, introducing students to version control\, collabor ative coding\, and project management using GitHub. tools that will be val uable throughout their engineering journey:\n\n• Notion: Organized notes \, managed projects\, and collaborated effectively and introduced advanced digital tools and AI platforms\n• Discord: Learned communication and c ommunity-building skills.\n• Notebook LM: Explored AI-assisted note-tak ing and knowledge management.\n• Napkin AI: Practical AI tools to simpl ify tasks\, improve productivity\, and support learning throughout the stu dents’ engineering life.\nThe day concluded with a valedictory session\, where prizes were awarded to outstanding teams. Closing remarks encourage d students to apply the skills and tools learned during the event througho ut their engineering journey.\n\nConclusion\nF.A.I.L 2025 successfully eng aged 400+ first-year students over two days. The event introduced particip ants to digital tools\, professional skills\, and innovative learning tech niques while fostering teamwork\, mentorship\, and continuous learning. Th e skills and tools gained are expected to benefit students throughout thei r engineering studies.\n\nBldg: Main Building \, Basaveshwar Engineering C ollege\, Bagalkot\, Bagalkot\, Karnataka\, India\, 587102 LOCATION:Bldg: Main Building \, Basaveshwar Engineering College\, Bagalkot\ , Bagalkot\, Karnataka\, India\, 587102 ORGANIZER:chairbecieee@gmail.com SEQUENCE:10 SUMMARY:F.A.I.L 2025 (First Attempt in Innovative Learning) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/508594 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Introduction:&nbsp\;</strong><br>F .A.I.L 2025 (First Attempt in Innovative Learning) is a flagship event by the BEC-IEEE Student Branch for first-year students.
