ENGENIA

“ENGENIA” is that time of the year that everyone looks up to in our college and this year it

was conducted on the 31st of August and 1st of September. Onstage and offstage events were conducted on two separate days. The show commenced by the arrival of all the dignitaries

and the Chief Guest. There was a grand welcome by the LICET students and a Flash mob. It was a truly mesmerizing show as the various departments presented many programmes.

Everyone sat glued in the show. The Chief Guests praised the entire event a lot. The EEE

department students put in their hard work and efforts to prove their worth and they have

done it way better than the previous year. The student involvement was incredible in all the

events. The unity and encouragement of the department lead us to the improvements. The

HoD Dr.S. Prathibha, Staff coordinator Ms. Monisha Ann along with the other staff members

supported us in all our efforts. We really enjoyed a lot and dispersed with a sincere hope that

such mega events should be organized time and again giving the students a chance to display

their talents.

WORKSHOPS:

Introduction to Power System software:

The Workshop on “Introduction to Power System software” was organized by the

Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering for the final and prefinal year students

of EEE department on the 4th and 5th of September 2018 in F01. The session on the 4th of

September started with a small inaugural function that comprised of welcoming the guest

speakers for the day and our HoD honouring them. Mr. Selvakumar, Lead Engineer, ABB,

and Mr. Gopinath, Graduate Engineer Trainee, Power projects, were the speakers for the day.

Mr. Selvakumar gave a lecture on ETAP software and all the studies that could be done with

ETAP. Mr. Gopinath discussed the digisilent power factory software and insulation

coordination. After every lecture, there was the hands-on training in both the software. The

hands-on training included the short circuit study and the load flow study using ETAP

software and the digisilent power factory and PSCAD software. The speakers for the second

day were Mr. Guruprakash, Power Systems Engineer, Power Projects and Mr. Hariharan,

Power Systems Engineer, Power Projects. The software that were discussed on 05-09-2018

are PVSYST and PVSOL for designing PV Solar plants and HOMER, a Microgrid design

software. The lectures were given by the resource persons after which students had the hands-

on training of these software. At the end of the 2nd day, a valedictory function was held

which comprised of providing certificates to the students who attended the workshop. The

guest speakers chose 2 students - Jovin Tony and Abishek Joel from the final year of EEE

and provided them gifts for their active involvement in the workshop.

The workshop gave the students an insight on a few software that were available and sought

after by power system-based companies. The guest speakers gave so many case studies as to

why learning about the power system software was important. They explained the basic

concept of every software and helped the students with the hands-on training. They took their

time and explained everyone's doubts clearly so that students could understand everything in

a better way. By the end of the day, they made sure that the students knew how to do all the

basic studies with the software.

The students were happy with the workshop. They liked the way the speakers handled the

section and the calmness with which they cleared everyone’s doubts. The only thing that the

students insisted was that the workshop might have been extended for two more days with

one software for a day so that they could have learned almost everything about the software.

But they were very happy as this workshop remained as an eye opener for them to know

about the various opportunities available and the various software and developments that they

have to learn and update themselves. Overall, students were thankful for having the

introduction to various software that were available in the market.



SPORTS SECTION

NATIONAL TAEKWONDO PROFESSIONAL

Very often people tend to get confused with the difference between Taekwondo and

Karate. Taekwondo is an Olympic sport which originated in South Korea. It is a means of

self - defense without the use of weapons. I was introduced to Taekwondo at the age of

nine and have been a part of it ever since. The initial reason why I joined Taekwondo was

so that I could win the fights against my sisters at home. Only later did I realize that all

martial arts are used as a means of self defense alone.

Taekwondo develops self- confidence, discipline and improves concentration as well. It

helps to cultivate the virtues of modesty, self-control, perseverance and an indomitable

spirit in individuals. Taekwondo also helps to strengthen the mind and body. In the

beginning, I used to go for classes just for the fun of it, but as the years went by, my love

for the sport gradually increased. Over the years I have taken part and won medals in

various competitions at district, state and national levels. Last year, I represented Anna

University at the All India Inter University Championship held at Amritsar. I could not

win a national medal last year but I aspire to do so this year. I participated in the 31stState

Senior Taekwondo Championship held at Pudukkottai this year and won a bronze medal.

Taekwondo is an endless learning experience that helps to keep one alert and on guard at all

times. In our present-day society, it is the need of the hour for all of us to remain vigilant as

we never know what lies ahead of us.

CONQUERING BOUNDARIES

In India, cricket is a very popular game which attracts all kind of people irrespective of their

age or gender. My father was also one

among them, who used to keenly follow

every game played by the Indian cricket

team. My school had a good cricket

academy which professionally trained

the students to excel in the sport, so my

father encouraged me to join the

academy. Initially I struggled to make a

mark in the team. Being a left-handed

player is a big advantage in this sport, I

made use of this edge and honed my

skills with regular practice and I began to

see a gradual improvement in my

performance. In the beginning, I was a

left arm spinner and also a handy left-

handed batsman, representing my school

team at various tournaments. Playing at

the junior (CSK) inter school tournament

was a rewarding experience. Being a tall and lanky fellow, my coach encouraged me to shift

from a spinner to a Pace bowler. I was fascinated by the young Australian fast bowler

Mitchell Starc who is known for his death-defying Yorkers. I idolized him and followed his

techniques, trying to implement them in my bowling. I participated in school games

federation of India (SGFI) selection. Hundreds of young aspiring cricketers competed against

each other to get selected and represent our state (SGFI)cricket team at the national level. I

had to work really hard to get through the various selection trials. Eventually I got selected to

play for the state (SGFI) U-17 team. The state matches were conducted at Madhya Pradesh

which gave me an exposure to new level of cricket. After completing my higher secondary

education I got into LICET through sports quota. Being a fast bowler is an arduous task and

the path to success is not a bed of roses. So, I moulded myself into a” Chinamen”

(unorthodox left arm spinner) which is a very difficult art to master and you can’t find many

Chinamen in this sport. The college team is very supportive and I practice with them, trying

to develop my cricketing skills. Apart from college cricket, I also play league cricket which is

organised by Tamil Nadu cricket association.

No dream is bigger; no sky higher for us to conquer and I believe that one day I can make my

mark, wearing the blue jersey and playing for our country. -NISHANTH V, II EEE

difficult to cope with playing standards of quality and experience tournament players, she

was able to expel at the state level and she won few of them but found it very difficult to

migrate to the AITA tournaments. Year 2015 is a good break thru year for Devaki in terms of

tennis and she started up with good wins in state level tournament conducted TTT, where she

hit Quarter finals and Semi-finals in singles events and doubles events. Which was a good

start and she was mentally prepared to face All India Tournament, as school also backed he

up she was really ready for the fresh year with a big bang. This year saw Devaki progressing

very well and was runner up in 2 tournaments conducted by All India Tennis Association and

may events she had good progress on to Quarter and Semi-final stages. This progress was on

both 16 and 18 categories as well as in women category.
