Divya Goswami, ECE-3rd yr!

I n the contest of wide spreading technologies ruling every aspect of life, Electronics and Communication Engineering takes its own role and path in making things more user friendly and economical. It is a service, skill, profession of acquiring and applying scientific, social, practical and economical knowledge in order to design structures, devices, systems, materials and processes. As E.C.E students, we learn in depth about how things work through hands on session. Finding out what goes on behind the production of common items from headphones to laptops and solder-ing machine to missiles. A simple PCB designing provides a complete Electronics Engineering and manufac-turing solution . We can produce every-thing you need and deliver a fully functioning product right to your door!!! Further, the advancements of various fields like: Nanotechnology, Robotics, High speed automated processors in Embedded System, Image Processors has provided our budding engineers a wide

range of opportunities in the fields of Industrial manufacturing, technical sales and marketing as well. Other than con-ventional communication engineering jobs like communication networking, the rapid development of wireless communication has provided EC engineers a well position to address a variety of crucial engineering issues facing society today. Facts about Electronics and C o m m u n i c a t i o n E n g i n e e r i n g : † EC engineering jobs cover over 47% of all available jobs. † An EC engineering student can enter into the job market of Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instrumental Engineering, Control Engineering, Robotics and Mechanical Engineering, VDL, VLSI. But any student of another stream can’t enter into EC engineering job market. Ordinary people don’t understand the concept: They believe that if it isn't broke don’t fix it. We believe that if it isn't broke, it does not have enough features yet. So don’t be an ordinary ,add a lit-tle extra and be an extraordi-nary......!

Himanshu Agarwal ,ECE-3rd yr!

E ducation in general sense is the

form of learning in which the knowledge,

beliefs, skills, values and habits of a

group of people are transferred from one

generation to the next though storytell-

ing, discussions, teaching, training and

research as defined by Wikipedia.

In reality, it has been degraded to a mad

rat race of scoring marks with a whim of

getting highly paid jobs. We view educa-

tion as a means to an end, and the end

being a desk job in a MNC with hefty

packages. In our education system

anyone with good cramming skills can

secure a decent percentage in exams. We

are lacking in innovations and

creativities because we are not studying

passionately and we are not learning for

knowledge but running for marks. In

India our grades are improving, but

globally our abilities are decaying.

In real life it is not the concepts we

learn in the classroom matters. The

thing that matters is the ability to think,

which is perquisite for innovation. Like

physical workout we also need mental

drill for developing minds. We should

focus more on our studies and correlate

it practically to expand our horizons.

The real success

comes when you

start challenging

yourself within a

given setup. Cer-

tificates don’t

matter remember

ancient artist was

valued by their work,

kings and warriors by the

battles they won, merchants by their

ability to do trade not by what they

studied. For true success we should work

smartly, passionately and focus on our

accomplishments.

Remember the purpose of education

is to bring creativity and innovation in

students. So to succeed in this new era,

focus on your abilities, innovation and

thought process instead of degrees and

certificates.

EDUCATION: IN REAL SENSE

The most innovative gadgets

Samsung sleep sense

Ajay Chauhan, ECE-1st yr!

T he sleep sense monitor, yours

sleep patterns when placed under a

mattress of up to 20 inches thick. It uses

proprietary technology called early

sense, to monitor heart

and breathing rates,

the amount of time

you have spent in

sleeping and even

how often you woke

up. This data is then

relayed to an app on your

android or IOS device to give you

a sleep score, along with advice on how

to improve your sleep and tips on diet

and exercise. The app also has an

integrated smart alarm to wake you up at

the optimum time, but that’s not all,

Sleep sense also works with Samsung’s

home automation products, which means

it automatically turn off the lights and

TV after detecting you’ve fallen asleep.

Samsung will be rolling out this product

later this year, but yet it has not

disclosed any price of it.

Success never

comes to those

who sit back

and wait for

a miracle….



“Close your eyes and mark the Goal” : Dr S. K. Soni

Rishabh Mishra, Manish Barthwal, Himanshu Agarwal- From

Newsroom!

Q 1>> What are the changes you noticed in GBPEC, since you joined the college? Dr. Soni>> Around 1998-2000, when I joined this college there was a scarcity of infrastructure. Only one workshop and a few no. of labs were at run. But now as you can see we have almost every required infrastructure and labs. Another difference that I found now is a lack of discipline among the students and a wide communication gap between students and faculty mem-bers. It’s not a one way route, as it is a kind of an ‘Action & Reaction’ law. There should be a concern of welfare of one-another as well as a loving rela-tionship between the both. If I’ am scolding a student, it is not about hurt-ing him, but the center of concern should be the benefit of student. I be-lieve “If something is falling down, it can be improved”. Q2>> How can we fill the gap be-tween students and faculty mem-bers? Dr. Soni>> There must be a cordial relationship. I think there should be a continuous session of debate on inter-esting topics inside the department, so that, there can be a healthy interaction between the faculty members and the students. We can have certain topics like, how to resolve the water prob-lems, the garbage heaps? A regular session will create curiosity among the students about the faculty members, which will play an important role to reduce the gap between the faculties and the students. Q3>> How the students of eminent Engineering Colleges are different from us? Dr. Soni>> I think getting a rank is a different thing and maintaining the spirit is a different thing. Reminding the instances from my experience in D.T.U, truly speaking, students of that college are inferior to that of our college even those who are pursuing their Ph.D. Because, you may also have

the same capabilities but due to their good luck or hard efforts they might have it. But it doesn’t mean that we are lag-ging in potential, because we are still trying hard enough to get over others. Our M. Tech and Ph.D. students are doing far better than others. The students of D.T.U., after en-tering there, started losing interest and the feeling of superiority, grabbed them. Has this idea of superi-ority come in our mind? No……. This is a point, where they are lagging and here, we aren’t. One another difference I noticed is the lack of confidence here in the students. We can improve our-selves. Q4>> What were the challenges you faced in your journey from a student to a Professor and how did you over-come the clogs in between? Dr. Soni>> In our times, teaching profession was not respected as com-pete to other professions. I was in a dilemma, which profession to choose? I had a passion to teach but due to prejudice feelings from others I was a bit disturbed. I was feelings these type of problems are very serious among students. You should have a strong motivation from yourself. If we have 70 students and 90% of them are trying hard for MNC’s, this is not important that the rest of 10% must also be in that crowd. You might have a very strong research and teaching career.

Have you seen “3 IDIOTS……..Forget about the world, go with your heart.” It was a very inspirational one. Whatever field you choose, just do that with core of your heart and you will find yourself on the top. See yourself close your eyes and follow your heart. Actually most of the students think that after complet-ing their engineering they have to grab a job for livelihood. Yes of course, it is a prime duty to get a job. But what about the dreams and passion? Here comes a contradictory feeling-What is

life? , It is to enjoy. If you are earning in crores and have no time to enjoy, what will be its use? Ultimately you will die. Enjoy life to the fullest and be happy, ulti-mately our goal is to live a happy and successful life. Have you ever thought that I can be an engineer who can solve problems for India? We are depending upon Japan for their technologies like in DMRC, which can be done in India too. So we are not inefficient, the need is to think. Because if you will give a thought to it you will put your efforts and will surely get it but if you don’t then you will just be satisfied with whatever you are doing for your liveli-hood. That is why, choose your profes-sion where your heart is with you. Q5>> From your professional life experience, what are the challenges we can face after completing our course? Dr. Soni>> First of all you should have a setup, what are your priorities and what are your goals? Distinguish between them yourself and keep it safe in your mind. Once you become clear about these things you yourself will get a way ahead. Another thing, You should not ignore your day to day goals and instead make a balance be-tween the day to day and long term

goals. Because ultimately a strong de-termined heart and firm decision can go through the high tides.



T eachers play a major role in shap-

ing the student, a good human being

and a responsible citizen. They are the

cornerstone of our future, we can’t

express how to thank them for their

immense contribution in our life. Teach-

er's Day is just a medium to show our

acknowledgement towards them and it is

also the token of recognition of teacher’s

hard work towards our development.

Electronics and Communication

department of GBPEC celebrated

teacher’s day on 7th September,2015 to

thanks and acknowledge our teachers.

The program began with the welcome

speech followed by a cake cutting

ceremony by our respected HOD and

faculty members. The program

continued with a poem in Hindi to

pay tribute to our hard working

and dedicated teachers. As a fun

part some interesting games was

organised and Dr A. K. Gautam

rocked the show. He was all the

way a surprise package. However

the best part was various funny

titles given to the faculties. This is

one of the best memories of elec-

tronics department so far. At the

end we have some inspiring words

w i t h o u r f a c u l t y m e m b e r s .

Lastly one thing can be said, the

event was a complete package of fun,

learning and enjoyment for everyone and

was something that everyone looks

forward to. So, who missed it make sure

to come for the celebration of teacher’s

day 2K16.

Teacher’s Day Celebration

Apurva Pokhriyal, From Newsroom!

“Teachers are the torch

bearers of the Gen-next”

The collaboration on Engineer’s Day

Ayush Juyal, From Newsroom!

T he event started with a speech

about the life and achievements of emi-

nent "Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya"

who was the first engineer of our country

and was born on 15th of September 1860.

He is commemorated for his immense

contribution in education and engineering

sector. He was honoured by prestigious

‘Bharat Ratna’ award for his substantial

contribution in the field of engineering.

After the introductory speech, some

students gave presentation on the modern

trends in technologies. Mr M. K. Ag-

garwal and Dr S. K. Soni judged the

events.

First presentation was given by

Himanshu Agarwal(3rd yr) on LIFI,

which is a wireless optical networking

technology that uses light emitting

diodes for data transmission. The next

presentation was by Mayank Sharma

(2nd yr) about virtual instrumentation, a

programme that implements func-

tions of an instrument by computer,

sensors and actuators. The next

presentation on ultra capacitors was

smartly given by Pooja Papney

(2nd yr) and Sanskriti(2nd yr). They

covered the use of ultra capacitors

and their adjectives in comparison

to simple capacitors. Followed by

ultra capacitors, Shivam Ramola (2nd yr)

told about the database management

system and Ashwani Rana (3rd yr)

presented the concept of organic light

emitting diode (OLED), which are super

light, almost paper thin and produces a

brighter and more colourful pictures and

many more.

Dr. S. K. Soni concluded the event with

some sort of advice and motivation.



RELIGION vs SCIENCE

Archit Rathi-ECE 3rd yr!

S ince the beginning of history, a deep rift has existed between science and reli-gion. History tells us that the two have always been in conflict from the begin-ning; religion was all important and reigned supreme in every spare of life. But gradually its place was taken by science. There are basic differences between the outlook of science and religion. The outlook of sci-ence is rational. Science believes in experiment and observation. It teaches its followers that nothing is to be believed until it has been proved to be true through exper-iment. Religion, on the other hand, is a matter of faith. It teaches its followers to believe and have faith in the teaching of religious teachers and the au-thority of religious books. Thus whatever is written in the ‘Vedas’ or the ‘Gita’ is true, for it is the word of GOD himself. The existence of God cannot be proved but it can be felt by those who have faith. It is all a matter of faith and not of experiment or observation. Science believes that nothing is ab-solutely true. What is regarded as true today may be proved to be false the very next day by further experiments and observations. Thus, there was a time when the earth was supposed to be mo-tionless and the sun was supposed to go round it. Gradually science proved that this was wrong and showed that it is the earth which goes round the sun. Similar-ly, Newton’s law of Gravitation held the day till Einstein came out with his supe-rior theory of Relativity. In this way, science advances towards truth as abso-lute. Whatever is written in religious books is regarded as absolutely true. Anyone who criticizes the teaching of religion is considered to be a criminal and is violently punished. In the past, those who dared to question a religious truth were mercilessly persecuted and punished. With the advancement of science, religion has gradually lost ground. Its truths have been subjected to searching

analysis by sci-ence, one after another, and have been proved to be false. The meth-ods of science have appeared more convincing and rational and people have gradually lost faith in religion. HOWEVER, science has its own lim-itations. Man has a body as well as a spirit. Science is concerned only with the

body; it can do nothing for the spirit. Sci-

ence may provide man with physical comforts, but it is religion alone which can give him the courage to struggle against heavy odds. He may even face death itself, with a smiling face. It is religion and reli-gion alone, which

can bring the peace for his spirit. In the end it may be mentioned that religion is a social phenomenon as well as personal and individual. It is all a matter of individual belief. Science has not been able to touch religion, even the least, in its personal and individual as-pects. There are people even today whose faith in the name of the religion remains unshaken and who can still make the maximum sacrifice in the name of religion. It would, therefore be wrong to say that science has made man irreli-gious or that it is an enemy of morality. Rather, to sum it up, we can say that both Religion and Science go hand in hand.

"Science can purify religion

from error and superstition;

religion can purify science

from idolatry and false abso-

lutes. Each can draw the other

into a wider world, a world in

which both can flourish."

-Pope John Paul

BMW’s 360- degree collision

avoidance technology and parking

assistant Sachin Singh, ECE-1st yr!

T his is the potential of BMW’s 360 degree collision avoidance technology, an environment sensing system that collect data primarily through four laser scanners used by the cars to identify obstacles. Mounted on a BMW i3 re-search vehicle, the German car

manufacturer show pairing this environ-

mental awareness with automated driv-

ing software can do for drivers after they

have the car entirely.

The remote valet parking assistant means no more haunting for parking when you arrive at a destination. Drivers simply need to pitch up to the front door of the venue, then send the BMW off on its own to find a spot by a command via smart watch. The car then heads to a parking garage where it goes up and though the levels looking for a suitable spot, it just parks, locks the doors, and waits for the driver to summon it back when they are done. It’s still going to take some time before we see self driving cars on public roads, but at least BMW has worked out the parking situation for when they eventually arrive.

E WASTE HAZARD: the

impending challenge

Neha Bisht,ECE-1st Yr!

E lectronics waste or e waste is one of

the rapidly growing problems of the

world. E-waste comprises of magnitude

of components, some containing toxic

substances that can have an adverse im-

pact on human health and the environ-

ment if not handled properly. In dump-

ing, E-waste management in India, as-

sumes greater significance not only due

to the generation of its own e-waste but

also from the dumping of E-waste from

developed countries. This is coupled

with India’s lack of inappropriate infra

structure and procedures for its disposal

and recycling.

The production of electrical and

electronics equipment (EEE) is one of

the fastest global manufacturing activi-

ties. Rapid economic growth, coupled

with urbanization and a growing de-

mand of consumer goods, has increased

both the consumption and production of

EEE. The Indian information technolo-

gy (IT) industry has been one of the ma-

jor drivers of change in the economy in

the last decade and has contributed



Significantly to the digital revolution

being experienced by the world. New

electronic gadgets and appliances have

infiltrated every aspect of our daily lives,

providing our society with more comfort,

health and security and with easy infor-

mation acquisition and exchange.

The same hyper technology that is

hailed as a ‘crucial vector’ for future

modern societal development has not so

modern downside of its electronic waste

(E-waste). E-waste broadly covers waste

from all electronics & electrical applianc-

es and comprises of items such as com-

puters, mobiles phones, digital music

recorders/ players, refrigerators, wash-

ing machines, televisions and many other

household computer items.

The increasing ‘market penetra-

tion’ in the developing countries,

‘replacement market’ in the developed

countries and ‘high obsolescence rate’

make E-waste one of the fastest waste

streams. This new kind of waste is pos-

ing a serial challenge in disposal and

recycling to both developed and develop-

ing countries. While having some of the

world’s most advanced high tech soft-

ware and hardware developing facilities,

India’s recycling sector can be called

medieval. The dumping of E-waste par-

ticularly computer waste, into India from

developed countries (“green passport”)

according to Gutierrez, because the later

find it convenient and economical to ex-

port waste, has further complicated with

health concern.

All this has made e-waste manage-

ment an issue of environment and health

concern.

Manisha Khati,ECE 3rd Yr!

APJ Abdul Kalam, the 'Missile Man'

who redefined the Presidency, crafted a

political idiom that spoke to children in a

country growing young. It was a setting

that had defined his life, first as a scien-

tist and then as India’s 11th President.

On the dais was Dr A P J Abdul Kalam,

delivering the first lines of a lecture on

sustainable development, to be followed

by a trademark interaction with over 135

students from the Rajiv Gandhi Indian

Institute of Management (RG-IIM) in

Shillong .While

delivering his

words, he col-

lapsed and yes!

Leaving his

India stand-

still. He died

on 27th July

2015 after suffer-

ing with massive

cardiac attack.

He was the man who guided the

youth about 'how to dream’? He said that

“Tomorrow if I address a group of

youngsters and talk about the flag flying

in my heart and how I will uphold the

dignity of the nation, I can get them to

dream. Also, the youth have fewer biases

about their society as compared to the

grown-ups,”. What dreams matter to

him, I have experienced on my own. He

said " U are born with wing don't crawl.

Learn to use them to fly and fly." He

preached us to dream and work hard and

his inspirational quotes always ring in

our minds.

Kalam was also instrumental in lay-

ing the foundation of the rocket launch

systems at the Indian Space Research

Organization (ISRO) during a nearly

two decade stint at ISRO from the late

1960s to 1982 .He was one of the few

young scientists sent by Dr Vikram

Sarabhai for training of ‘sounding rock-

ets’ at the National Aeronautics Space

Agency in the US. He was the project

director of India's first Satellite Launch

Vehicle (SLV-III) which successfully

deployed the Rohini satellite in near-

earth orbit in July 1980. He is the author

of various books like wings of fire, ignit-

ed minds, mission India, etc. He was the

recipient of Padma Bhushan, Padma

Vibhushan , Bharat Ratna but yet was so

down to earth that he urged not to pro-

vide condolence to him by declaring a

holiday when he dies but work more on

those days to provide him the real re-

spect.

He was

the one who

touched upon the

lives of all,

from a care-

free child to

diligent ma-

tured individu-

al. All of sudden

each one of us, the

citizen of India,

irrespective of caste, creed, religion, gen-

der, socio-economic status feel orphaned

with the departure of Dr. APJ Abdul

Kalam. He might be gone forever but his

invaluable thoughts and teachings would

always pave for us in times of difficulty.

He will remain in the heart of everyone

who have dreams, everyone who wants

to do something for the nation because

such personalities don’t need histories…

they create them.

THE MISSILE MAN Dr APJ Kalam

“Dreams transform into thoughts

and thoughts results in ac�on.

Dreams are not those which come

when we are sleeping,

but dreams are those when you

don’t sleep before fulfilling them”

-APJ Abdul Kalam



A message from Editor-in-chief………..

Dear Readers, Warm welcome to Electronics and Communication department… First of all let me take the opportunity to thank all the readers, editors and everyone who made our first newsletter possible. The main aim to produce TSECE newsletter is to remember what we did at this epoch, to be able to smile at silly things that we did together, to feel proud of all the achievements and the awards and to remember that college time is the best time in our life. College is a place where we build memories and shape ourselves from stone to an idol and tie everlast-ing bonds with friends and teachers. In organizing events we spent a quality time with our batch mates, hardworking juniors and respected faculty members and these moments contributed a lot in my book of memories. It is not the lessons that we will remember deep in our hearts but it’s the event that took place across the year that we will cherish in future. I think these memories will also make us smile over our seventies when we will be free and sipping our cup of coffee. If we are to prepare successfully for future as well as present we will have to do more than just improve literacy and numeracy skills. We need a broad flexible and motivating education that recog-nizes the different talents of the students. Our prime aim behind establishing this society is to make everyone involve in technical and literary activities, to keep students motivated, curious and fill their mind with jubilant feelings. To the faculty advisor of our society Dr. Sanjeev Naithani & Mr. Tripuresh Joshi, thank you for your guidance in helping us produce a newsletter worth publishing and for believing in each and every one of us. To all the members of editorial committee, you not only put your 101% effort but you believe in yourself and our team that together we can achieve success; thank you very much. We the editorial board together brought out the best of our society; captured the moments, the memories and present you a compilation in this newsletter “PINNACLE”. Read it, love it and enjoy it.
