AmalJyothi BeatsCampus Frequencies Unleashed . . .

The much awaited and most expected happened today..The Blogging club [BLUB] becomes a real part of the Amal Jytohi College of Engineering by taking its wings full fledged under the department of Computer Science and Engineering..I am sure it will come out with flying colours with the chief mentor being Prof. Manoj T. Joy, and Asst. Prof. Santhosh Kumar G. S. and Ms. Anju as other mentors.

After the lunch break, BLUB kicked off its journey,when everyone were thinking of  taking a nap. To our great surprise, the young ‘blubbers’ showed great enthusiasm and interest. The entire Blog Team is happy with bringing forth  a unique group with great energy, similar thoughts and vast creativity. Mr. Karthik M. ,the blog admin, is being selected as the President, Miss. Teena Maria as the Vice president, Mr. Sebin Jose as the Treasure, Mr. Anish Mani as the Secretary and Mr. Thomaskutty as the Joint Secretary. The blubbers came up with fuming flames of ideas. We called it a day with setting up concrete targets….Bye for now..

A new cafeteria has been started in the department of CSE for the faculty members. A well furnished area were atmost six persons can sit at the same time, has almost all the facilities of a mini restaurant. Its only when the department purchased a new refrigerator that the world came to know about this news. The faculty members whole heartedly welcomed this new decision

The newly started cafeteria

The students believe that the faculties, who were extremely kind to them, will definitely extend the benefits of the cafeteria to the them also. Currently, the system may be such that, the faculties may have to pay for the items being taken from there. If such a cafeteria was there for the students (if possible in every class), it would be so helpful. For time being lets hope for the best. All the very best for this new venture.

A highly popular and superb platform for the research and innovative enthusiasts – AICERA will be held in the college, under the leadership of eminent faculties from CSE dept. AICERA 2011 aims to stimulate forums for engineers, academicians, scientists, industry researchers, research scholars and students on a common platform from all over the world to present, exchange, disseminate and share their experiences and new research innovations on the various aspects of Computers and Communication Engineering. Eminent personalities from various Universities, Academic Institutions and Corporate sectors will be invited to deliver the key note address during the conference. We invite your association and participation for AICERA 2011. The official website is

Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of multi-robot systems which consist of large numbers of simple physical robots.  Swarm Robotics is a technological advancement in Mobile Robotics.  The  main  focus  of  this  workshop  is  to  introduce  to  the  students  various  methods  of  communication that can be used to transfer data between multiple machines.
This approach emerged on the field of artificial swarm intelligence, as well as the biological studies of insects, ants and other fields in nature, where swarm behaviour occurs. The swarm behaviour involves constant change of individuals in cooperation with others, as well as the behaviour of the whole group.  A key-component is the communication between the members of the group that build a system of constant feedback. The model of distributed computing — using many computers to work on a single large task — is somewhat similar. Unlike distributed computing, however, each individual in swarm robotics deals with unique stimuli.
Potential applications for swarm robotics include tasks that demand for miniaturization (nanorobotics, microbotics), like distributed sensing tasks in micro machinery or the human body. On the other hand swarm robotics can be suited to tasks that demand cheap designs, for instance mining tasks or agricultural foraging tasks.
What we deal in the workshop are:
    Artificial intelligence
    Short and long range wireless communication
    Sensor network
    Mechanical structure analysis and design
    Making a line follower robot and grid solving robot
    Communicating a robot with a PC, through radio frequency
    Implementation of swarm intelligence
Students can participate as a team of three and each team will be provided with a takeaway robo kit. The students will have to pay a registration fee of Rs 1400 per head. We will be providing an advanced Swarm Robotics Kit for each team and you can take away the kit after workshop.
Duration:
The workshop is for 2 consecutive days, 28th and 29th of January, 2011.
Accommodation:
Accommodation is available for ladies and gents in hostels run by catholic nuns and priests on prior re    quest.

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is at par with the latest technological developments. CEDC is a Community Extension Developmental Cell functioning in the Department. Its  objective is to extend our knowledge and resources to the community at large.The first Project, Societal Technology Education Programme (STEP) is a joint venture of the Department of Computer Science and C-DAC (Centre For Development of Advance Computing), Kanjirappally, which aims  at in imparting computer literacy to all age groups in the society.

Project  Mission:   To empower the youth in rural communities with computer education which  includes knowledge in computer programming and desktop publishing and technical skills in computer engineering such as installation, assembly and repairs. Through providing education, job, technical, entrepreneurial and leadership skills to community members, the project aims at reducing poverty and illiteracy.

Members:

The core committee members are: 

• Prof. Manoj T. Joy, Head of The Department ,CSE
• Mr. Jose Kurian ,Manager, C-DAC
• Ms. Shiney Thomas, Asst. Professor, CSE
• Mr. Shaan Geo, Lecturer, CSE
• Ms. Lisha Varghese, Lecturer, CSE
• Mr. Thomas Abraham, Lab Asst., CSE

• 

  Societal Technology Education Programme

The Cell is functioning fully fledged with support from the college management, the faculty from C-DAC and the department. The department intended to make a higher impact by involving participation of all interested students from within the department

Areas Covered:

The Cell is presently offering assistance to organize workshops and seminars on various advanced topics. It also offers short-term courses in various fields of Information Technology.

The topics that are planned to be taught are as follows:

• Basics of Computers &  I.T. Fundamentals,
• MS-Dos Operating System &  MS-Windows GUI concepts,
• MS-Office professional (MS-Word, Excel, Power Point),
• Internet Technology,
• Multimedia Technology.
• PC Troubleshooting
