The Engineer is a responsive mover of the masses,
With a lever long enough, one end beneath the earth,
Archimedes cited the concept of how load passes;
or shared, which all proved the lever rule’s worth.
Through the long bar he (Archimedes) could leverage,
His feeble power against the trillions of tonnage,
Of each earth’s boulders – minerals, golds, their ergo
And, he perceived to move them all, in just one go!
Engineer, - you in order to physically move people,
devised ways and means—some complex or simple;
Comforting transport like that of an Aeroplane,
Sometimes, bullying the bulls in the bull dozer’s lane,
Or, Popping up, as and when carried up by a drone,
flowing in a hot air balloon flawlessly, all alone?
at times accidentally stopping as in a Railway zone!
Not to be excluded are ships or submarines of sam,
Was he not moved earlier in a rickshaw or a pram?
The engineers crafted diverse ways as in a fickle
some surfing on road –as if pedaling on a bicycle,
Put up simple mechanisms, to speed as with a gear
by riding on steel skates, help clear cul-de-sac fear,
even power the wheels - on water admixed with brine
Thus, an ambitious designer feels to be on cloud nine!
Engineer, I believe, wondrous was your upbringing!
Instrumental you became, managing your singing,
It wasn’t complete until machines provided the chorus
You hid enough substance, by making them porous!
You empower a thought process tempering thoughts,
That resulted in joy and success the movers fraught,
the ‘Wi-Fi’ spread of ambition is the joy he duly got,
increasing along motivation as this technology taught.
The Engineer is a master who executes God’s will,
And enables man to cross over the seas, and hills,
Cruising in ships or lifting vertically, of the slopes,
gaining a shift, from the earth’s innermost abode
And up again, again vertically, into another plane,

Many building processes still involve sub-standard working conditions and are not sustainable. Current
research on the integration of digital technologies within construction processes promises substantial con-
tributions to sustainability and productivity, while at the same time enabling completely new forms of
architectural expression. The multidisciplinary nature of integrating digital processes remains a key chal-
lenge to establishing a digital building culture. In order to fully exploit the potential of digital fabrication,
an institutional and funding environment that enables strong interdisciplinary research is required. Tradi-
tionally separated disciplines such as: architecture, structural design, computer science, materials science,
control systems engineering, and robotics now need to form strong research connections.

Technology Trends
Over the next two decades engineers will be called upon to encourage technologies that
foster a cleaner, sanitized, healthier, safer and sustainable in global environment. Vi-
sion for mechanical engineers will need to collaborate with partners worldwide in order
to apply innovative solutions and best practices to improve sophisticated life for all peo-
ple. .I’m amazed at the modern trends to retrieve almost any information and communi-
cate in a thousand different ways using a utility that fits in your pocket. Technological

heavy to haul, a limitation that restricts the height of buildings. But ultra rope, a new ca-
ble with a carbon-fiber core and high-friction coating, could double elevator heights to

don’t currently have fish ladders. It works like a vaccum, using low pressure in front of
the the fish and higher atmospheric pressure behind to suck it through the tube. The fly-
ing car has been prophesied for decades. It's one of the holy grails of the futuristic, utopi-
an society, where everyone gets to zip around through the air and land easily, quietly and
safely wherever irrespective of gender. A decade into the 21st century, we don't seem to
be any closer, despite what you might read on gadget blogs.

and work in conjunction with immersive virtual worlds. A digital twin is a dynamic software
model of a physical thing or system that relies on sensor data to understand its state, respond
to changes, improve operations and add value. Digital twins include a combination of
metadata (e.g., classification, composition and structure), condition or state (e.g., location
and temperature), event data (e.g., time series), and analytics (e.g., algorithms and
rules).Organizations will use digital twins to proactively repair and plan for equipment ser-
vice, to plan manufacturing processes, to operate factories, to predict equipment failure or
increase operational efficiency, and to perform enhanced product development. digital twins

toring devices and controls (e.g., pressure gauges, pressure valves). Blockchain is a type of dis-
tributed ledger in which value exchange transactions (in bitcoin or other tokens) are sequentially
grouped into blocks.
Each block is chained to the previous block and recorded across a peer-to-peer network, using
cryptographic trust and assurance mechanisms. Blockchain and distributed-ledger concepts are
gaining traction because they hold the promise to transform industry operating models. While
the current hype is around the financial services industry, there are many possible applications
including music distribution, identity verification, title registry and supply chain.

to access applications and information, or interact with people, social communities, govern-
ments, and businesses. The device mesh moves beyond the traditional desktop computer and
multiple devices to encompass the full range of endpoints with which humans might interact. As
the device mesh evolves, connection models will expand and greater cooperative interaction be-
tween devices will emerge, creating the foundation for a new continuous and ambient digital ex-
perience "Distributed ledgers are potentially transformative but most initiatives are still in the
early alpha or beta testing stage.
Digital technology platforms provide the basic building blocks for a digital business and are a
critical enabler to becoming a digital business. Gartner has identified the five major focal points
to enable the new capabilities and business models of digital business — information systems,
customer experience, analytics and intelligence, the IoT, and business ecosystems. Every organi-
zation will have some mix of these five digital technology platforms. The platforms provide the
basic building blocks for a digital business and are a critical enabler to become a digital busi-
ness.From mega fighting robot wars challenges between the USA and Japan to running robots
being created for the military, 2016 is sure to have a world of surprises in technological leaps
and bounds in regards to advancements.

MODERN TRENDS IN ENGINEERING
Komal Sharma Faculty of Engineering and Technology
In modern era, everything is going to be autonomous. Engineers are focusing on the au-
tonomous technology and IOT (Internet of things). From humans to vehicles everything
is being connected to a network. There is a great advancement in the technology as nowadays the order has
been delivered by drones, pre-medicine facilities can be provided to humans, with the help of chips which are
inserted into the body of human beings to connect them to a network, with the help of which the diseases can
be predicted in advance and accordingly correct action can be taken to cure it.
The VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks is also an advancement of modern engineering. With the help of it,
all the vehicles can communicate with each other. The car which is moving ahead can pass the information
regarding the condition of road, turn ahead, traffic congestion, driverless cars are possible, or any accident
ahead etc to the cars behind it. Before going to any destination the name of the destination can be fed to the
system, it will display the number of possible ways to reach to the respective destination in a best possible way
along with the weather conditions. During the way it can display the information regarding the nearby restau-
rants, hospitals, petrol stations, parking lot etc while entering to the respective city. The car can be parked au-
tomatically and can come on the road from parking lot while you are coming out of your office with just a
simple click on the button.
To increase skills in the new technology areas that business and industry are rapidly adopting. These include
big data architectures, cloud computing, web technologies, data analytics (especially SAS and IBM Watson
Analytics), big data computing platforms and the ever-expanding sources of data related to the Internet of
Things.
Most of the attention has been given to developing energy efficient sources in this century. As several num-
bers of solar plants has been installed in the country. The solar panels can be installed on the roofs of houses
so that the sufficient electricity can be produced to fulfill the basic needs of the one. More focus has been giv-
en in designing the green houses and focuses on sustainable urban development. The theme of disaster mitiga-
tion fulfils adequately the requirement of mitigating the risk of earthquake, landslide and fire which often de-
stroy the infrastructures and creates havoc. The country has seen many such disasters in the past.
Keeping all these things in point of view GNA University has designed a new course i.e M.tech In smart City.
In which the subjects like IOT-Internet of things (aims to develop the understanding among the students that
how all the things can be connected to a network), control engineering (aims at how all the machines can be
made automatic), Renewable sustainable energy, MEMS and Nano-technology, VANET, Energy efficient
sources, wireless communication, disaster management, Smart City Architect, Biomedical Electronics to de-
velop a multidisciplinary course which is a blend of Mechanical, Core Electronics, Communication and Civil
etc.

Faculty of “Engineering” and Technology: The Tool to Students’ Progress
Aristotle perceived ”The roots of education are bitter but the fruits are sweet”. Better, it acts as a tool. For,
this education enables to acquire the art of living well. In plain words education acts as a prerequisite that
strengthens the roots, which provides the fruits of life. Roots are the pathways which collect investible re-
sources from mother earth and pass on for due transformation.
Faculty of Engineering and Technology is akin to the root which resources technological inputs and strengths
from everywhere to encapsulate them with a strategic palletization for the student’s easy consummation. The
resources at the disposal of FET students include both: that which got generated inhouse, thanks to the rich
integrations of teachers and their inter faculty collaborations, and also those which were outsourced, using re-
sources of the sister industry from GNA group itself. Add to these those arranged from various multinational
companies and MSME’s. It also includes those obtained from research labs, consultancy organisations etc who
remain in thick of technological developments.
The activities FET organized in last month can be classified in several ways:
(i) Mega Events (Water Day Celebration, World Forestry Day Celebration cum Go Green Marathon),
(ii) Visits to Mega Events (exposure to Trade fairs, Satellite launching centre)
(iii) In-house Skill certification workshops (CNC workshops)
(iv) Outsourced expert workshops
(v) Guest / special Lectures
(vi) Industrial visits
Besides these the faculty provided several opportunities for the teachers for continuing education and updation
of competencies.

A two hour presentation on “GATE STATEGY” took place for all 4th & 6th sem students of FET facultiy.
Conducted by Mr.Achal purohit,General Manager, (GATEtutor). He sketched a scenario of increasing
knowledge competition for last 8 Years. He demonstrated GATEtutor application in its totally online
(Internet based) platform. Through this he created temporary login Id of Students and Faculty who geo their
password after due registtrationon http://GATEtutor.in. The web site is an online and dynamic platform for
the preparation of GATE examination, for most of the technical competitive exams as well as the campus
placement. More than 65 colleges in east India are using GATEtutor and 120 colleges all over INDIA. More
than 1.5 lac students from 2500 engineering colleges in India and growing day by day.
Why is the challenge looming strong?
Presently students were using traditional methods to clear GATE exams, but right now the GATE exam is
online & for that reason we have specialized in providing E-learning solutions & practice sessions which will
help the students to get similar look & feel of GATE exams conducted these days. Moreover, this application
is helpful in colleges to conduct online tests
& internal exams, all other technical com-
petitive exams as well.
Out comes-
• Students all India rank (AIR) will be in-
creased.
• Useful for placement
• Internal exam purpose.
• 2nd & 3rd year students can also use it,
across the globe and we can create Global
study groups.
• This will help our university in branding
effectively due to its merit numbers.
• Students can secure PSU jobs.

water, the two elements essential
for human life, and for which the
trees maintain their vitality. There
is thus a need to make people
aware for the eco-stability and
sustainability of mother earth. He
reminded the ecological strength
which starts earnestly with the
plantation of trees is vital for life and water. Mr N S Randhawa added the value of
trees can be quantified.
In the Inaugural address Professor Prem Kumar counting the impacts trees make
in quality of life talked of the life sensitivity of trees, and thus stressed their
felling should be discouraged . The marathon culminated at the Roshan Ground,
where by the participants had run a distance of 10.5 kms. Mr Sahota compliment-

World smartest prosthetic limb with Network of
Sensors that act like human nerves
Sourav Bhatia
Asst Professor
English designers have built up the principal ever prosthetic appendage with a coordi-
nated automated knee and foot - permitting the parts to talk to each other like a hu-
man leg. Known as the Linx, the prosthetic leg has a system of sensors that demon-
stration like human nerves, consistently gathering information on the client's action,
condition and landscape. It additionally has a focal PC that goes about as the mind,
utilizing this information to alter the speed and bolster level of the leg, which means the wearer can walk
unhesitatingly at all circumstances. Jack Eyres, who is a model and paralympian, was the primary individu-
al to be fitted with the Linx, and it has permitted him to carry on with a dynamic life and stroll on catwalks
around the globe.
At the point when a patient is initially fitted with the Linx, a specialist projects its focal PC by going
through an alignment arrangement, so that the appendage can realize how its wearer actually strolls. This is
done by means of a Bluetooth association with a product application that shows progressively what the sen-
sors are grabbing as it distinguishes the wearer's regular speed and developments. Previously, prosthetics
would require each joint to be aligned thusly in an extensive procedure that would frequently require re-
hash modification. Nonetheless, Linx's keen calculation aligns the appendage consequently in one basic
stride, as the knee and the foot joints talk to each other. One of the difficulties for lower appendage pros-
thetic wearers is stopping, since it takes a great deal of vitality and fixation to hold the leg enduring, which
means serious back torment is normal. The Linx faculties when the wearer grinds to a halt and consequent-
ly bolts, so that the wearer can unwind. When they need to move once more, the sensors promptly jump
without hesitation. "The Linx gives me that capacity to remain for drawn out stretches of time, since I can
put weight through both legs, said Eyres. It permits me to put weight through it and bob back. It additional-
ly permits me to move my toes without stumbling over the lower leg.

A one day workshop was organized on ‘WEB DESIGNING’- i.e. planning and creation of
websites, by the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, GNA University, Phagwara. Mr.
Amandeep Singh and Mr. Rahul, Web Developers were the resource persons from All
Innovative Technology, Mohali and Chandigarh who gave demonstrations and compari-
son of various web pages and also gave a hand on practical sessions.
The event was inaugurated by Dean-Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Prof .P.
Thareja who also motivated the students to be abreast in various ICT technologies, and
assured the course would help strengthen the link with digital world, especially when the
core technologies are sourcing from cloud.
Nearly 300 students participated in the workshop from the faculty of engineering and
faculty of computational science of GNA University. They learned about HTML- CSS, In-
stallation of XAMPP, Atoms and Coding PHP, the working with forms PHP, Creating Da-
tabase (MYSQL) and queries with (MYSQL). It was a great learning experience which in-
cluded the information architecture, user interface, site structure, navigation, layout, colors,
fonts, and imagery. All of these are combined with the principles of design to create a web-
site that meets the goals of the owner and designer.
Dr Prem Kumar, Vice Chancellor said that Web Designing is one of the trendy and ever-
growing fields and it is through a website that different individuals, companies and corpo-
rate represents their brand. He also added that in today’s age of internet everyone likes to
see online presence and a website develops a trust in the consumer’s mind. He ensured
that workshop like this will enhance the designing skills of students.
