Scheduled to be conducted on 22nd August 2026 at Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology\, Bengaluru\, the event a ims to provide students with a realistic and immersive experience that com bines engineering problem-solving\, strategic decision-making\, crisis man agement\, and professional networking. The event will bring together aspir ing engineers\, industry mentors\, IEEE leaders\, entrepreneurs\, and facu lty experts to explore the intersection of technology and management.\n\nT he core highlight of the event is a high-intensity Leadership Simulation w here participants take on executive roles within a fictional AI-driven cyb ersecurity startup facing a large-scale operational crisis. Teams will be challenged to analyze technical failures\, manage resources\, respond to e volving situations\, and make strategic decisions under pressure. This sim ulation is designed to strengthen leadership abilities\, teamwork\, commun ication\, risk assessment\, and problem-solving skills in an engaging and competitive environment.\n\nIn addition to the simulation\, Strategos 2026 will feature a Networking Roundtable that enables participants to interac t directly with industry professionals\, IEEE representatives\, startup fo unders\, alumni\, and faculty mentors. These structured discussions will f ocus on engineering management\, innovation\, entrepreneurship\, research opportunities\, and career development\, helping students gain valuable in sights into the evolving technology ecosystem.\n\nBy integrating simulatio n-based learning with mentorship and professional interaction\, Strategos 2026 seeks to prepare students not only as capable engineers but also as f uture leaders who can manage teams\, navigate uncertainty\, and drive inno vation with purpose.\n\nNitte University Campus\, 6429\, NITTE Meenakshi C ollege Rd\,\, BSF Campus\, Yelahanka\, Govindapura\,\, BENGALURU\, Karnata ka\, India\, 560064 LOCATION:Nitte University Campus\, 6429\, NITTE Meenakshi College Rd\,\, BS F Campus\, Yelahanka\, Govindapura\,\, BENGALURU\, Karnataka\, India\, 560 064 ORGANIZER:run40081@gmail.com SEQUENCE:30 SUMMARY:Strategos 2026: The Engineering Management Challenge URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/561441 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p data-start="0" data-end="641">Strategos 20 26: The Engineering Management Challenge is an IEEE NMIT TEMS SBC initiati ve designed to bridge the gap between technical expertise and leadership e xcellence.
