School of Engineering & Computer Applications of LPU organized Tech-Fest 'INVICTUS-11'

April 20, 2011 - PRLog -- The School of Engineering & Computer Applications of Lovely Professional University organized a two-day mega Tech-Fest 'INVICTUS-11'. During this mind freaking & breath taking series of fierce battles, Lectures, project displays & events were witnessed. The Chancellor of the University, Mr Ashok Mittal inaugurated the fest. He was accompanied by Senior Deans, Deans, HODs of the School. Thousands of sharpened minds, unleashed their ideas to exhibit wonderful creativity, enthusiasm and courage to be pitted against the best.

Congratulating and inspiring the young innovators for their best creations, the Chancellor Mr Ashok Mittal said: "The novel demonstration of different projects, made by sharp students, are about those technologies which are needed the most in our present day life. These are also making headlines now-a-days. The way they have showcased some of the new technology will certainly benefit the other participants to learn hands-on how imagination can take perfect practical shape." Explaining a quote of great scientist Faraday "of what use an unborn baby is", he motivated the students to keep generating and shaping their ideas for the benefit of one and all, in this world. He added: "Had Wright- Brothers not shaped their ideas to fly in sky, the distant lands would still have been unapproachable. Without perseverance of Thomas Alva Edison, we would have still groping in the darkness for illuminations. And, mobile phones could not be possible without invention of Cylinder Phonographs."

There was organization of numerous events in the fest covering all the fields from advanced coding to simple logic, algorithm design to computer fundamentals. Some illustrative of these were 'Coding Maestros' to join the battle of codes, 'Reign of Errors' to smash the bug, 'Project-o-Holic' for talk of technology and better place to witness it, 'Guest Lectures' on exotic topics and informative insights, 'Query Fury' to quench mind-boggling query, 'Mind Vision' to draw what you like, 'Tech Adventure' for treasure hunt with a difference, 'Fanatic Brains' to animate the world around you, 'Algo-Rhythm Tailor' to build challenging algorithms, 'Game-O-Sphere' for everything from Formula-1 cars to extreme shooting, 'Computer Fundas' about computer basics and such like many more. All the winners were awarded certificates and attractive prizes during the closing ceremony.

During this, tremendous response of students was seen for Project-O-Holic and Quiz on computer fundas. There was also a workshop on "Networking Tools & Devices" for participants to imbibe Networking Basics, Topologies (Case Study: LPU), OSI Model Implementation, IP Schemes & Sub netting, Traffic on Fiber Material, UTP Cabling etc. Similarly a guest lecture titled "CLOUD COMPUTING MADE SIMPLE" was also delivered. They also enjoyed a lot visiting different stalls of eatables, fun games of their choices.
