The IEEE CUET WIE Affinity Group Student Branch is going to organize a national-level flagship program titled “Triscend”, an initiative designed to foster innovation, ethical awareness, and visionary creativity among students from diverse academic backgrounds. The event aims to empower young minds to address modern challenges through the lenses of ethics, sustainability, and technological foresight, in harmony with the IEEE Code of Ethics and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The overall timeline of Triscend will span two months, beginning in November 2025 and concluding with the grand finale on January 9, 2026. The event will be officially launched on November 13, 2025, with preliminary rounds and submissions conducted online. The final round will take place offline at the CUET campus, ensuring nationwide inclusivity while maintaining an engaging on-site experience.

The program will consist of three major competitive segments, each designed to promote a distinct dimension of ethics, innovation, and creativity:

1. STEM-Based Case Competition

This competition will strengthen participants’ understanding of the IEEE Code of Ethics and ethical reasoning in STEM contexts. Teams will explore women-centered societal challenges, including menstrual hygiene and accessibility, nutritional issues during pregnancy, and women’s health concerns such as breast and cervical cancer prevention.

In the preliminary round, teams will submit online solutions showcasing ethical reasoning, technical feasibility, and innovation. Shortlisted finalists will move on to the on-campus final round, where they will tackle a new problem aligned with specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Their task will be to present practical, ethically sound, and sustainable solutions before a panel of judges.

This segment is designed to cultivate integrity, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving, helping participants apply ethical principles to real-world STEM challenges.

2. Policy Design Challenge

Addressing the persistent global issue of low female participation in STEM, this challenge will invite participants to design policy proposals or strategic campaigns that promote and sustain women’s involvement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Participants will develop well-researched and actionable frameworks to dismantle educational, institutional, and societal barriers faced by women in STEM. The proposals will be evaluated on their originality, feasibility, and long-term relevance.

This segment aims to encourage critical policy thinking, leadership, and advocacy, inspiring participants to conceptualize initiatives that advance gender equity, mentorship, and career inclusivity within the STEM ecosystem.

3. Visions for Tomorrow – Futuristic Visual Art Competition

Blending art, imagination, and technology, this segment will invite participants to envision the world in the year 2100, interpreting the theme “The World in 2100: The Rise of Green Energy and Sustainable Living.”

Through digital illustrations, 3D artworks, graphic designs, and infographics, participants will depict the transformative role of renewable energy and technological innovation in shaping a sustainable planet.

This creative platform will promote environmental awareness and futuristic thinking, highlighting how artistic innovation can intersect with technology to communicate powerful visions of sustainability. By combining scientific imagination with visual storytelling, the competition will celebrate the creative potential of the next generation of engineers, artists, and innovators.

 

Through Triscend, the IEEE CUET WIE Affinity Group aims to create a transformative educational experience that unites science, policy, and art under a shared commitment to ethics and sustainability. The event will encourage participants to think critically, act responsibly, and imagine boldly. By merging analytical rigor with creative exploration, Triscend will inspire a generation of students to lead with integrity, innovation, and imagination, embodying IEEE’s vision of advancing technology for humanity.
