The students of different departments at HKBK College of Engineering got a chance to display the best of their skills recently in a project exhibition, where they exhibited their knowledge of advanced technology and applied their talents in the best way possible. The exhibition was inaugurated by the college administrator, Abdul Hameed S A as well as the principal. The projects that were displayed were of the final-year students.
There was a stream of visitors at the exhibition, including staff, junior students as well as parents, and the students responsible for the projects enthusiastically explained the workings of their creations to them.
Rajaram Bhat and Memon Aftab put up a 'digital scene mapping area correlation'. The set-up included a camera placed on a missile, which captures images of an area and compares this with the target image stored in the data base of the missile — which is then launched. Once the captured image is matched with the target image, the warhead is activated.
Pradeep Mali, Praveen Kumar, Ravi Kumar and Avinash Aile created a 'foot mat power generator and automatic gate controller'.
The first provides a method of generating electricity by human mechanical energy. If it is installed in foot mats at malls, railway stations or bus stations, the energy from the human footfall can be collected and stored in lead-acid batteries, after which it can be used to power an automatic gate controller.
A team comprising Bharath, Sudha, Gangamma and Mohan put together an invention that could make a world of a difference to the disabled — a voice-operated, intelligent wheel chair.
It can be used by quadriplegics and people who can't control their movements, since the starting and destination place data is fed vocally.
There were many other fascinating and creative projects. Raj, Sahal, Imtiyaz and Favas created a wireless communication-based digital notice board, where the notices can be updated via text messages.
A touch-screen robot motion controller was put together by Tarique, Osama, Ihsan and Ameen, which operated on a path drawn by the user on a touch screen. Shuhaib, Farooq, Abdulla, Raoof and Arshak created a current-fed boost converter, which impressed all the visitors.
