BMSCE IEEE PES and Sensors council - Circuit hunt
BMSCE IEEE Power and Energy Society and Sensors council in collaboration with IEEE sensors council Bangalore chapter organised an event ‘Circuit hunt’ on 11th October,2020 which marked the first event of BMSCE IEEE Sensors Council.
Circuit hunt is an innovative quest which mainly aimed at testing the circuit solving skills of the participants and involved locating a treasure at the end in the ocean of circuits. The participation was individual or a team of two which was open to all the colleges and which marked an opportunity for the participants to showcase their analysing and problem solving skills.
All the communications with the participants were done through the whatsapp group where the updates on the ongoings of the event was provided.
The event consisted of three rounds. The detailed instructions for each of the rounds was mentioned in the PDF containing the questions and the participants were asked to go through it before solving the questions.
The circuit hunt kick-started at sharp 5:00 PM with Round 1 wherein the the first round PDF containing the questions and a google form was provided to the participants on the whatsapp group. The round 1 consisted of 10 easy level questions(numbered from 1 to 10) based on Circuit analysis and digital electronics. Once the participants were done solving the questions, they were asked to enter a 10-digit password in the google form wherein each digit of the password corresponded to answers for the 10 questions in ascending order. If the password entered was right, they were directed to the next page in the google form wherein the PDF link to Round 2 questions was attached. Clues were also given on instagram for all the rounds and the participants were given the directions to look for the clues at regular intervals. A total of 40 teams including IEEE and Non-IEEE members got through the first round.
Round 2 consisted of 10 questions (numbered from A to J) of intermediate and difficult level. The answers of the round 2 questions served as hints to the final round wherein the participants were asked to solve and plugin the answers into final round circuits. The questions were framed such that the participants arrived at the whole number as the answer in the end. The equations to be applied for a few round 2 questions were given as clues on an instagram page which was hidden as a tag in one of the posts on BMSCE IEEE PES's official instagram page and the participants were given directions on the whatsapp group to look out for the same.
Final round consisted of 2 questions. Here, the participants were asked to substitute the answers they have got in round 2 into the final round circuits as indicated by alphabets. The two questions involved solving for voltage across and current along a given branch respectively. The final round circuits were posted on one more instagram page whose username was hidden as a tag in one of the posts on BMSCE IEEE PES's official instagram page and the participants were given the directions to look out for the same. The participants were asked to submit the final round answers through the google form which was attached in the bio of the ROUND 3 instagram page.
The top 10 teams were decided based on the duration of submission of final round answers. The top 10 teams were :
1.Raghavendra and chinmaya(winners)
2. Manu saraogi and Ritika siyal(runner ups)
3. V Karthik
4. Mahammadarif kasab
5. Anisha KS and Varsha Bhat
6. HM Deepika Jain and Suprita RM
7. Aadarsh S Bhat
8. Gagan M and KR Revanth Adiga
9. Santosh B Mallur and Rohit L
10. Varsha Nagesh and Vishak S
The announcement of top 10 teams was done on the whatsapp group and a shoutout was also given to them on our social media page. The winners and runner ups received amazon gift vouchers worth Rs 1000/- and Rs 500/- respectively. All the teams who got through the first round of the event were received with e-certificates of participation.
We are pretty sure that all the participants had a great time in circuit solving and kudos to all of them for putting in their amazing effort . We received amazing feedback from the participants. We'd like to thank our current execom and our collaborators IEEE sensors council Bangalore chapter who worked for the huge success of the event. We also look forward to organising more interesting and fun events in this academic year 2020-21.
