The Electronics Club of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, in association with the IETE, successfully organized a technical event titled “Circuit Innovators: From Design to Vision” for ECE students held on 31.01.2026. The Event comprising two focused sessions – “Circuit Genesis” for second-year students and “VLSI Vision” for third-year students. The event aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world engineering applications while strengthening practical knowledge and industry awareness. The program began with a welcome address by Dr. R. Mohanapriya, Head of the Department, who emphasized the importance of design-oriented learning, active participation in technical activities, and the role of such initiatives in fostering professional competence, innovation, and lifelong learning.
The Circuit Genesis session featured a three-round competition centred on analog and digital circuit fundamentals. The first round, an online quiz, assessed conceptual understanding and saw participation from 170 students, from which 20 were shortlisted. In the second round, participants were grouped into 10 teams for a component identification challenge that tested practical familiarity with electronic hardware; five teams advanced to the final stage. The concluding round involved circuit debugging, where teams identified and rectified faults within a limited time. Based on accuracy and efficiency, the teams of Santhosh T & Vinith R and Rithika Sree & Sabitha from second year emerged as finalists.
The VLSI Vision session introduced students to core VLSI design concepts and industry-oriented methodologies. More than 150 students participated in the first-round online quiz covering VLSI fundamentals, HDL design, and semiconductor basics, after which nine students were shortlisted. The next stage focused on design flow concepts such as HDL modeling, simulation, verification, and the role of EDA tools. Thanuja and Praveenraj from third year were selected as finalists for their exceptional analytical and technical performance. The event was judged by Mr. R. Prabu, Associate Professor and HoD of BME, who engaged students through interactive discussions and practical insights. Overall, the event successfully fostered innovation, teamwork, and technical excellence, supported by dedicated faculty coordinators Mr.D.SatheeshKumar, Mr.S.VijayMurugan, Mr.S.Vijakumar and Mrs.S.Usha and enthusiastic student participation.
