ITM University, Gurgaon organizes National Workshop on MEMS Design, Technology & Application

To give its students important insights into developing application-specific devices and systems for health care, defence and space sectors of the country, ITM University, Gurgaon in collaboration with IIT Delhi conducted a three-day National Workshop on ‘MEMS Design, Technology & Application’.

A collaborative research and development project, the workshop, sponsored by Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Govt. of India, was coordinated by Dr. Bharti Arora, Deputy Dean RDIL at ITM University, Gurgaon and Dr. Madhusudhan Singh, Associate Professor, IIT Delhi.

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, commonly known as MEMS, is a frontier technology being used development of very small devices. MEMS technology is used in general domains like Automotive, Consumer, Industrial, Military, and Biotechnology.

The workshop was inaugurated by keynote speaker and chief guest Dr. R Muralidharan, Director, Solid State Physical Laboratory, Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The plenary session of the workshop was chaired by Dr Surinder Singh, Director, Semi-Conductor Laboratory, Chandigarh, India’s cutting-edge ISRO research lab.

“At ITM University, we strive to provide students the best of exposure. Such workshops give students the opportunity to interact with others and gain more exposure through exchange of ideas and experiences. Frontier technology like MEMS helps students get acquainted with hi-end technologies. Our initiatives are useful for the students in polishing both their academic as well as professional skills,” said Prof B. S Panwar, Vice-chancellor, ITM University, Gurgaon.

The workshop was attended by a large number of students and faculty of ITM University, Gurgaon in addition to participation from students and faculty members from various other colleges from the Delhi NCR region. Topics like multifunctional sensors and conventional MEMS sensors along with its associated technology and applications were discussed during the workshop.

Lectures were delivered by eminent Speakers of IIT Delhi and other colleges. The workshop opened avenues of further interaction by using the expertise of each organization on design and simulation and technology.​

Avnet Successfully Concludes X-fest 2014 with Record-breaking Attendance in Asia

SINGAPORE, Dec. 29, 2014

Avnet Electronics Marketing Asia (http://www.em.avnetasia.com/), an operating group of Avnet, Inc. (http://www.avnet.com) (NYSE: AVT) marked the conclusion of its hallmark event, X-fest 2014 with the last technical seminar held in Hangzhou, China after a successful six weeks run in 15 cities across Asia. More than 4,000 engineers across Asia benefitted from the practical, how-to training workshops, setting a new record-breaking attendance for the biennial seminar.

In China alone, 3,100 engineers participated in the full day seminar which featured twelve technical courses from three educational tracks: Zynq and the IoT, Design Essentials, and Techniques and Applications.

"Avnet is committed to deliver continuous technical trainings of the breeding edge technology, which have over the last 15 years, delivered immediate and practical benefits to enhance our customers'' design engineering capabilities," said Stephen Wong, President, Avnet Electronics Marketing Asia. "The engineers who have participated in X-fest have strengthened their knowledge of how to use Zynq and FPGAs in their systems as well as to determine which software, tools, development kits and third parties IPs are available to enhance their design efforts. They have also built a better understanding of components that sit next to the SoC/FPGA, and how to integrate them in a complete system. The knowledge gained will help improve a designer's efficiency, reduce risks and
shorten their total system design cycle time."

In addition, X-fest has also greatly enhanced the overall customer value by offering a single platform to access multiple on-site production demonstrations and reference designs exhibited by Avnet's industry-leading partners including Xilinx, Analog Devices, STMicroelectronics, TE Connectivity, Texas Instruments, Maxim Integrated, Micron, Freescale, MathWorks, ON Semiconductor and Spansion.

"We're thrilled to be involved in this successful program together with Avnet," said Fai Yeung, Vice President of Xilinx APAC Sales and Marketing. "X-fest has provided a great platform for us to reach out to the design engineering community to expand their knowledge on Xilinx's All Programmable products and to improve on design skills so as to achieve faster time-to-market of innovative devices harnessing the power."
