Department of Computer Engineering, VESIT in association with IQAC  is organizing Departmental Technology Day Pradarshan'22 on 28th March,2022 Monday.

In celebration of Hacktoberfest 2020 various sessions were organized in the Month of October to spread awareness about open-source contribution by guiding students through engaging and interactive sessions. Through these 2 to 3 hour sessions students were provided with invaluable knowledge of how they could contribute to the open-source community. We tried to clear the doubts of all students by creating a two-way rapport with them.

Since the college was closed due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, all sessions were taken online using Google Meets.

The following seminars were conducted in the month of October:

1. Getting Started with Open Source and GitHub Workshop
2. GSOC Talk
3. Introduction to DevOps and Jenkins
4. Fundamentals of Linux

All sessions were sponsored by GitHub and Hacktoberfest. The college became a Hacktoberfest chapter in 2020 itself. This allowed students to enroll themselves in the chapter and make use of various benefits.

Each session was conducted over the weekends ensuring that no lectures clashed with the events. Some sessions were open only to the Computer Department whereas others were open to all departments. Following is a detailed report of all the events.

1. Getting Started with Open Source and GitHub Workshop

The first session was a workshop taken on 3rd October Saturday between 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The aim of the seminar was to inform the students about Open-Sources and the commencement of Hacktoberfest 2020. Along with this the students were also given a detailed go through of GitHub GUI and the basics of Git. The session was open to all departments. The speakers for the session were Jay Dulera and Rohan Ghosalkar (both CodeCell Members). Jay covered open source and Hacktoberfest along with providing the students with a detailed collection of repositories students can contribute to, whereas Rohan taught the basic workings of GitHub and the appropriate procedure to make pull requests on various repositories.

The workshop began at about 4:10 PM with around 91 participants where Jay introduced Open Source and how it is one of the most useful tools available for students who want to learn coding. This was followed by the functionality of GitHub and how it came to be which was taken by Rohan. Students were shown how to initialize repositories, how to make Pull Requests, how to fork repositories and also how to use GitHub desktop. This was followed by Jay who introduced students to Hacktoberfest and the rules and regulations of the competition. The end of the session saw a small online quiz on Kahoot and finally the meeting came to end at 6:00 PM.

Organized by Department of Information Technology 

In Association with Department of Computer Engineering & Department of Master of Computer Applications 

About the Program 

Blockchain is now the fastest-growing skill set demanded on job sites and salaries for blockchain developers 50-100% higher than regular developer jobs. The decentralized nature of projects with distributed teams can translate into lakhs of high-paying jobs from all over the world being available to Indian developers. With its strong IT ecosystem, India can become a leading blockchain development hub and a major net beneficiary of global capital inflows. Decentralized applications on public blockchains can solve myriad Indian problems, such as eliminating middlemen, providing data security, reducing corruption and tampering of financial ledgers, and improving the speed of service delivery by governments and corporations. 

Program Highlights 

• No Registration Fee 

• E-Certificate will be provided 

• Project Oriented Learning Approach: This is Phase 1 of a Multiphase comprehensive series on Blockchain. 

• The course is conducted fully online. 

• This is a comprehensive series of workshops on Blockchain that will start from Fundamentals to developing real-life Applications using Blockchain.

The most talked about thing the in the world of technology is how computers can be smarter than humans. This is where Machine Learning comes into play. To teach their students how to use Machine Learning in order to solve day to day problems VESIT in collaboration with Infispark (Ms. Osheen Chavhan) conducted a two day workshop on Azure Machine Learning. This workshop kicked off on 10AM with introduction to Azure. How Azure aids to reduce the tedious code writing into simple drag and drop procedures. The students were assigned a few credits to provide an hands-on experience. In the later part of the day, the students used azure to create SQL Database and were taught how to upload and host their own websites. Last but not the least the students were introduced to various API's(Application Programming Interface) of Azure and how complex tasks like Computer Vision could be done with just a few clicks. The second day was the most exciting part of workshop . The students were taught how to predict the solution of a particular problem statement and how to improve the accuracy using Azure Machine Learning Studio. The students were the provided with a raw dataset and had a task to predict the outcome. A particular student was able to predict the outcome with 0.89 accuracy.In the last segment the students were provided with some guidance about the various options available and how to pursue them. The second and the last day ended with a short Q&A and light snacks. The student feedback was very good. “Now we can complete our projects with much more efficiency and in shorter time. And visualize datasets very easily” A students review.
