observe the fauna present at the park. Over a hundred

participants, accompanied by Prakriti members, visited the

park and marveled at the park's wildlife. Prakriti members

expounded upon the importance of the preservation of in-

digenous flora and fauna of a region. The club members

also explained to the students that it is the duty of, not only

the Government, but, the citizens of India to help preserve

our country's native wildlife. The participants met with vari-

ous trainers and doctors of the park to learn more about the

distinct species that inhabit the land. After a whole day of

observing and interacting with the animals of the park, the

students returned to the campus with a greater understand-

ing of wildlife and a sense of responsibility to help sustain it.

The students of first year B.Tech. and M.Tech. at

Amrita School of Engineering, Bengaluru were engaged in

an interactive session by Br. Manoj who discussed the objec-

tive of the university, providing an education for life.

The first half of the session emphasised on the concept of

happiness, namely, the explicit essence of what happiness is,

why we should welcome happiness and how we can achieve

happiness. The session then transitioned to an analysis of

different forms of smiling, which, the students were told, is

considered as the highest form of meditation. In order to

understand and appreciate the depth of that statement, they

were taught a song, to which the students responded with

great delight and animation.

The latter half of the session expounded on the goal of Am-

rita University, 'Education for Life, rather than Education

for a Living'. Br. Manoj pointed out flaws in the thoughts of

teenagers of the present generation, who consider cinema

actors and sportspersons to be their role models. He also

explained that our parents are our real heroes, for it is their

sacrifice and hard work that made us what we are today. His

assertion was supported by a variety of videos to shed light

on the fact that teenagers must choose role models who

could aid them "for life" rather than be a "part of life".

Br. Manoj stated that anything that is just a part of life is

nothing but pure entertainment.

Br. Manoj concluded the session with the message of Mata

Amritanandamayi Devi, Chancellor, Amrita Vishwa

Vidyapeetham, that the essence of true love is the real back-

bone that moulds mere 'Education for a Living to Education

for Life'.

Bugster- A Code Debugging Challenge Round-2

Competitive programming can be considered a sport

for the mind where the participants attempt to code according

to provided specifications. FACE (The Forum for Aspiring

Computer Engineers) kick started the year with the first round

of 'Bugster', a code debugging challenge, on the 21st of Septem-

ber 2016.

Over 150 students from all branches and years came forward

to participate in the first round of the competition. Contestants

either took part solo or in teams of two. Questions based on

arrays, structures, pointers and dynamic programming were

posed to test the participants' conceptual understanding of C

Programming.

The second round of Bugster was conducted on the 27th of

October, 2016 for the twenty teams who had qualified the first

round. The contestants were asked to debug three questions

in the programming language C++, and they faced their

challenge with zeal and determination. They were tested on the

topics of files, pointers and Object Oriented Programming

concepts.

Participants were allowed to use compilers to test and execute

their codes. However, if they wished to surf the internet for

aid, they had to notify a FACE member and would face a

penalty.

The judging criteria were based upon the number of problems

solved and time spent for writing successful solutions. It also

included other factors like the quality of output produced,

execution time and program size.

Overall, the event was a resounding success with immense

participation in perpetuation of its previous editions.

Invited Talk on ‘Internet of Things’

ASE, Bengaluru campus, Dept. of CSE, CSI Student

Chapter mentored by Dr. N. Rakesh organised invited talks on

"Internet of Things" as part of Amrita CSI Distinguished

Speaker Program series on 28th October, 2016 between 10.30

am to 12.30 pm in Krishna Hall. Speakers for the program

were Mr. Aniruddha Kannal, CEO of HEO-X and

Mr. Vinayak Hulabutti, Co-Founder & CMO at LabInApp.

Dr. Vishwas Lakkundi of IET Bengaluru chapter was present

in the event.

The first speaker Mr. Aniruddha, spoke about how the

“Internet of Things” is taking every conceivable industry by a

storm. He was of the opinion that education initiatives in IoT

should not limit to only technology training but also its

application. IoT in its nature is a design and innovation

paradigm, a framework that brings together a few old and new

technology breakthroughs to create business value - business

value being the key phrase. Most technologies grouped

under the IoT umbrella have existed in some shape or form a

fresh architecture and design construct (aided by a drop in

cost, size, and power consumption) has fuelled a slew of

transformative innovations. Understanding industry needs and

designing commensurate content is a start to how the content is

delivered will be equally critical. Students will need exposure to

the process of innovation and problem solving leading up to

the requisite value-add expected by their future employers and

clients.

Pramod R., faculty in the Department of Mechanical

Engineering visited the plant. CMTI is an R & D organization

focusing its efforts mainly on harnessing know-how in the

manufacturing technology sector to practical purposes and

assisting technological growth in the country. CMTI has the

role of being a Catalyst and a Key Player in manufacturing

technology growth in the country. Students were first briefed

about the company, its technology and how the entire infra-

structure of the plant is spread-out. A guide was allotted

throughout the plant visit, who explained about the current

thrust areas of manufacturing technology. All the students

were guided to various departments such as Precision

Engineering, Product Development etc. and explained about

the activities and services such as Prototype Development and

Engineering, CAD, CAM and CIM, Metrology and

Calibration, Rapid prototyping, Nanotechnology and

Academy & Training the CMTI provides. Also the students

were given a brief about the new initiatives of CMTI such as

Nano Manufacturing Technology Centre (NMTC), Academy

of Excellence for Advanced Manufacturing Technology

(AEAMT), Digital Design Centre (DDC), Sensors & Vision

Technology (SVT) and Advanced Machine Tool Testing Fa-

cility (AMTTF).

The trip bolstered the understanding of the students with the
