FUTURE PLAN

Activity 1: To maintain the reputation of the SPIE Student Chapter, DITU.

Objective: To maintain reputation of the SPIE Student Chapter in DITU and to increase the reorganization of the chapter in other pre-universities and universities in order to promote the next generation communication era (optics & photonics) in pre-university and university and to connect more number of students with the SPIE Student Chapter, DITU.

Activity 2: Advertising and Promotion of the SPIE Student Chapter DITU.

Objective: To promote optics in pre-university and university and to connect more number of students with the SPIE Student Chapter, DIT University.

Activity 3: Best DITU SPIE Student Award.

Objective: To encourage and attract the SPIE members to work with more enthusiasm.


Activity 4: Talk of Prof. Raman Kashyap from Canada on Optical fiber based real time catheter imaging and tracking for bio-medical application.

Objective:

• To encourage the post graduate students for research work in the field of optics & photonics.

• To introduce undergraduate students with the research work field and its criteria.

Activity 5: Optical demonstrations in secondary schools.

Objective: The main purpose of this project is to promote optics and photonics and its role in efficient communication. The goal of the lab tour is for the intermediate students to have a better appreciation and understanding of Optics, by focusing on science, technology and engineering with an emphasis on various engineering disciplines in recent technology.

We would support this school by providing some interesting educational materials in order to improve the education condition and to increase the interest of the students.
