Vision, Mission, and Aim of the Club: (1 slide)
Vision
To cultivate innovation and technical excellence in the field of electronics by
empowering students to design, develop, and implement real-world electronic
systems.
Mission
To provide hands-on experience through workshops, projects, and
competitions in
Embedded systems, circuit design, robotics, and IoT.To bridge the gap
between theoretical
knowledge and practical application by encouraging collaborative learning
and interdisciplinary
projects. To foster creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork among students
through a
maker-centric approach.
Aim
To build a strong community of electronics enthusiasts who can contribute to
solving real-world problems through system-level design.
Past Activities of the Club
Event Name : Tracer bot Mechathlon
Date : 07-02-2025
No.of participants = 16
Objective of the event : The Line-Following Car Race using the ESP32 module aims to test
participants' ability to design, program, and optimize autonomous vehicles for efficient path
tracking. The primary goal is to develop an intelligent car that precisely follows a predefined
track using sensors and real-time processing.
Event Name : Circuit Debugging
Date : 02-05-2025
No.of participants = 18
Objective of the event: The Circuit Debugging Competition aims to challenge
participants' analytical and problem-solving skills in identifying and rectifying faults within
electronic circuits. The objective is to enhance practical knowledge of circuit design, debugging
techniques, and troubleshooting strategies while fostering teamwork and technical expertise.

Any challenges in the operation of the Club
•Lack of Dedicated Lab Space
•The club currently does not have a dedicated workspace or electronics lab for prototyping, testing, or
conducting regular hands-on sessions.
•This limits the ability to consistently work on long-term or complex projects and discourages
participation.
•Insufficient Access to Electronic Components and Tools
•Many student-led projects require basic components (resistors, sensors, microcontrollers,
development boards, motors, etc.) and tools (soldering stations, multimeters, power supplies).
•The unavailability of these essential items delays project progress and restricts innovation.
•Limited Funding for External Participation
•Participating in external competitions, hackathons, and expos is crucial for gaining exposure and
benchmarking our skills with peers from other institutions.
•Due to limited funds or support, many students miss out on such valuable opportunities.
