PROBE 2015, National Level Technical Symposium of ECE of NIT Trichy

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
About PROBE

PROBE is the annual international techno-symposium of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, NIT Tiruchirappalli.

PROBE had its modest beginnings in 2005 as a way for the electronics buffs all over the country to exchange ideas and has now grown into a techathlon that boasts participation from not only Indian students but also those in the Gulf, Singapore, Japan, Europe to name a few.

PROBE�s hospitality, known for making participants who visit the college at this occasion feel at home has also matured into providing a much more multi-pronged approach where the focus has been to provide a wholesome learning and living experience even if it spans only two days. With a mileu of activities and workshops guaranteed to provide a life changing experience to those seeking to find their inner engineers or just be that golden achievement to those seeking to add glitter to their resume with a participation in Probe�s industry oriented workshops from Atmel, Cisco, National Instruments, Cypress Semiconductors, Intel and Schneider Electric.

PROBE has witnessed several dignitaries from the field of Research such as Dr Subbiah Arunan, the project director of the Mars Orbiter Mission, Mrs Anuradha, Project leader of GSAT,ISRO and Mr.Manickavasagam(Head of Weapons Division DRDL) and Dr .V.Natarajan, Joint Director of Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laboratory, Defence Research and Development Organisation, Cochin
PROBE-2015 (Feb 7-8)
PROBE is an ideal opportunity for visionaries to manifest and revel in the dreams that they have been brewing whilst doodling in soporific lectures, daydreaming on lazy afternoons or slaving over the drawing board. This edition of PROBE focuses on Internet Of Things, the latest trend which is set to revolutionize the world like the dot-com revolution. Internet of Things promises to change the way we interact with the world. In a few years IoT will not be a buzzword anymore, it will be built into every electronic product we are using in a way that everything is being connected to the internet in order to gather and share data to make your life more efficient.

We have planned out interesting events which provide the icing on the cake with an eclectic mix of challenging, creative and plain old nerve wracking tasks right from the Online Technical Challenge, Bulls Eye to a Circuit building skill test in Embedtronix to duelling MATLAB hackthon in Matrix.

We also believe that acquiring and updating skills according to trending topics help students stay ahead of the race. That being said, we have roped in top companies who are experts in IoT, to conduct workshops from building an IoT product to securing your product in the cyber space.

Get ready for the extravaganza on 7th and 8th of this February.
