One Day Workshop on Microcontroller

Mechanical Engineering department of Don Bosco College of Engineering organised a 2-day workshop on Microcontrollers on 11^th January 2018 and 12^th January 2018. Rev. Fr. Kinley D’cruz, the Director, addressed the gathering pointing out the importance of electronics knowledge, software programming and coding in view of the recent development in interdisciplinary engineering fields. Prof Ajit Salunke, HOD Mechanical, urged the students to take maximum benefit of the workshop for academic projects and career opportunities.
The workshop was conducted by Mr. Rajaram Parxenker, founder Elemtronics, who gave a detailed description about all the basics of microcontrollers. He explained the basic differences between old microprocessors such as 8085 and the new-end processors such as Arduino, raspberry Pi, etc. A total of 30 final year mechanical engineering students attended the workshop. The students were imparted with knowledge of microcontroller architecture, programming, interfacing with sensors such as proximity sensor, temperature sensor, gyro sensor, IR sensor etc, as well as various actuators like stepper motors, servo motors, and displays.

Overall, the workshop was a great success and very helpful for the students in understanding the electronics involved with their project.

The workshop was coordinated by Asst Prof Tanay Rege.
