PROMETHEUS

According to legend, Prometheus was the Greek Titan who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mankind and was punished for the same. Thousands of years later, he has reincarnated, in an avatar of scorching embers and blinding radiance. Prometheus lives once more and his flare will consume the little town of Manipal.

IECSE presents to you “Prometheus 2012”, which will be held from 9th to 12th April. This fest will be based on computer science and will span over 10 events, guest lectures and workshops. These are the events that will be held:

1. Codesprint

2. iCode

3. Cipher-Master

4. Elevator Pitch

5. Triple Threat

   

6. Comp Whiz

7. Fox Hunt

8. Applabs

9. Hawk Eye

10. 24*7

There will also be a whole bunch of informal events so keep an eye for those too! Prometheus will also host gaming in CS, NFS, etc. Want to prove your supremacy? Invoke your clans and get the mice rolling.

Sounds cool? Eager to outsmart the rest? Are your fingers already itching to incinerate the keyboard?  This was just the preview. Anyone with a passion for computers must take part in these events, as it will be a holistic learning experience. And of course, there are loads of cash prizes and certificates to be won! Come, and blaze away with Prometheus.

Watch this space for more details!

IECSE Workshop: Asp.net

IE-CSE) is organizing a workshop on ASP.NET from 6th February to 9th February 2012.

The Participants would be taught how to develop Web Applications using c# in the .NET framework.

ASP.NET is a  simple tool to create your own web-pages and would help students with their projects, and can be very helpful while applying for internships etc.

It can be extended to medium and large scale enterprise applications too. Indeed, even Orkut uses ASP.NET for its web-pages.

The Workshop will be taken by ASP.NET experienced 3rd Year Students.

Certificates will be provided to all participants at the end of the four day workshop.

No Previous knowledge of Web-Development is Required.

The Workshop cost is Rs.50 For Members and Rs.100 For Non-Members.

Infodesks have been put up at FC and KC.

On Spot Registrations open

The Beauty of Algorithms!

IE-CSE organized a workshop called “The Beauty of Algorithms” from 30 Jan to 1 Feb. The workshop had students participating from all years of MIT. The workshop was conducted by Vipul Puri, 3^rd year, also the President of IE-CSE.

The workshop was quite informative and it took start from basics of algorithms. The workshop began with six questions each, a sort of brain teasers and helped you to learn fundamentals of algorithms and what an algorithm should contain. The crowd loved these starting questions and it also got them warmed up for the workshop.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The workshop started with preliminary topics such as Bubble Sort, Selection sort, Fibonacci Numbers, etc. Then we moved on certain mediocre stuff like Hashing, the Warshall Algorithm, Horspool algorithm and then to harder stuff. These algorithms Vipul bro told us that are used in daily softwares from Google’s indexing algorithm to train route picker, etc.

The workshop had many students not only from CSE but also from IT, EnC etc. The participants loved brainstorming and understanding algorithms. Everyone were busy finding the shortest and best way to solve the problems. Vipul bro also told us about Time Complexity and Space Complexity. At the end of workshop we were given problems that we had to solve.

The plethora of programming and coding lasted for three days, in which we got to learn a lot about Algorithms. This workshop helped benefit a lot of students to understand the basics of algorithms. It was rightly titled “The beauty of Algorithms” as algorithms make us understand the working of life itself and complexities in nature are handled with utmost simplicity with Algos.

Workshop on Algorithms by IE CSE

As the name suggests, this workshop, by IE-CSE, is concerned with algorithms. The major topics to be
discussed during the workshop are –

-> Introduction to algorithms
-> The few algorithms you absolutely must know
-> How to design algorithms for various situations
-> How to know if an algorithm is better than the other
-> How they can be improved

As algorithms are pure logic, they are independent of the nature of programming languages.
You don’t need a background in Computers to understand algorithms, a keen mind is all it takes.

Plus the unsurprising fact that recruiting firms often demand a thorough concept of algorithms.
Attend the workshop, you’ll admire how algorithms make things work !

Two days workshop i.e 30 January & 1st February

Its free for members, and non-members pay Rs.50
Infodesks for registration at KC,FC.
Also, you may register on the spot.

Open talk on Java and Python

IE(I)-CSE Manipal, shall be conducting an open talk on the topic “Principles of Java and its comparison with Python” .

Python

Java

Java is a programming language that derives much of its syntax from C/C++, but has a simpler object model.  Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers “write once, run anywhere.” Java is currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, particularly for client-server web applications.

Python is a general-purpose, high level prog. language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python claims to “[combine] remarkable power with very clear syntax”,and its standard library is large and comprehensive. Its use of indentation for block delimiters is unique among popular programming languages.

So, what’s the difference ?? Come join us to get involved in an intense discussion and develop your temperament in this field.
(Only for 2nd year and above)
Date: September 6,2011
Time: 5:00 PM
Venue: AB 5, Room number 409
NO Entry fee

Digital Image processing presented by IECSE Manipal

Digital Image Processing using MATLAB is a specialized course on digital image processing which involves editing and working with images to obtain various kinds of information as well as get a desired form of the image.

The major topics being covered by the workshop are-

Histogram of an image/Histogram equalization

Image differencing

Image Stabilization

Morphing

Medical/Microscopic imaging(tracing boundary of organs etc)

Edge-detection

Image smoothing\Sharpening, improving the contrast etc…

Denoising the image

Water Marking the Image

Other QC applications

That said we will starting from the absolute basics of MATLAB and then be going onto the main parts.

The workshop shall be conducted by Vipul Puri,Aakansha Nagwani and Prachi Srivastava.

Since the use of CCTV’s for monitoring of various locations as well as medical and satellite applications are also increasing, this field has a very bright scope in the future and is going to create a big number of opportunities.

And its coming soon !!!!!
