Scheduled to be conducted on 30th and 31 st December 2026 at Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology\, Bengaluru\, the event aims to provide students with a realistic and immersive experien ce that combines engineering problem-solving\, strategic decision-making\, crisis management\, and professional networking. The event will bring tog ether aspiring engineers\, industry mentors\, IEEE leaders\, entrepreneurs \, and faculty experts to explore the intersection of technology and manag ement.\n\nThe core highlight of the event is a high-intensity Leadership S imulation where participants take on executive roles within a fictional AI -driven cybersecurity startup facing a large-scale operational crisis. Tea ms will be challenged to analyze technical failures\, manage resources\, r espond to evolving situations\, and make strategic decisions under pressur e. This simulation is designed to strengthen leadership abilities\, teamwo rk\, communication\, risk assessment\, and problem-solving skills in an en gaging and competitive environment.\n\nIn addition to the simulation\, Str ategos 2026 will feature a Networking Roundtable that enables participants to interact directly with industry professionals\, IEEE representatives\, startup founders\, alumni\, and faculty mentors. These structured discuss ions will focus on engineering management\, innovation\, entrepreneurship\ , research opportunities\, and career development\, helping students gain valuable insights into the evolving technology ecosystem.\n\nBy integratin g simulation-based learning with mentorship and professional interaction\, Strategos 2026 seeks to prepare students not only as capable engineers bu t also as future leaders who can manage teams\, navigate uncertainty\, and drive innovation with purpose.\n\nNitte University Campus\, 6429\, NITTE Meenakshi College Rd\,\, BSF Campus\, Yelahanka\, Govindapura\,\, BENGALUR U\, Karnataka\, 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:34 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.
