Engineers’ Day – Tech Talks by Computer Engg. Department

On the occasion of Engineers’ Day, 15th September 2025, the Institution Industry Cell (IIC) of Don Bosco College of Engineering, in collaboration with the Department of Computer Engineering, organized Tech Talks, an educational initiative aimed at promoting awareness of recent technologies and their impact on the engineering profession.

The session featured two eminent speakers who shared valuable insights from industry practice:

1. Mr. Gurpreet Singh, CTO, Ginesys
   Mr. Singh delivered an engaging talk on “AI can code, can engineers compete?”. He highlighted the rapid growth of artificial intelligence in software development, citing examples such as GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT. He discussed AI’s ability to handle repetitive coding tasks, accelerate development cycles, and reduce errors, while emphasizing that engineers continue to hold a competitive advantage in areas demanding problem analysis, creativity, ethical judgment, and system-level design. His talk encouraged students to strengthen their fundamentals and learn to collaborate effectively with AI-powered tools.
2. Mr. Mayur Mahambrey
   Mr. Mahambrey presented a session on “The Engineering Behind Everyday Apps”. Using relatable examples such as Instagram and Discord, he explained the complex engineering that ensures seamless user experiences. He elaborated on concepts including real-time GPS tracking, secure digital payments, scalable server systems, and fault-tolerant architectures, while connecting these mechanisms with classroom topics like relational databases, APIs, load balancing, and cloud computing. His insights enabled students to appreciate how academic learning translates into industry-grade solutions and inspired them to explore fields such as backend development, fintech, and large-scale system design.

The initiative effectively bridged the gap between academia and industry, inspiring students to embrace emerging technologies while reinforcing the fundamentals of computer engineering. The session was attended by Second- and Third-Year Computer Engineering students. The event was coordinated by Asst. Prof. Sweta Morajkar and Asst. Prof. Christina Barretto.
