ELC Activities

Department of Computer Science and Engineering · ELC Coordinators: Dr. Raman Kumar Goyal & Dr. Subhrendu Chattopadhyay

Initiated in January 2018 under TIET’s contemporisation program with Prof. Sanjeev Bedi (University of Waterloo, Canada), the Experiential Learning Centre engages undergraduate students with real-life engineering problems in every semester — moving beyond prescriptive lab experiments to research-based, student-centric, outcome-driven projects tuned to industry needs. The journey below follows a student semester by semester.
 
SEMESTER 01
Software tools explored in ELC ELC auditorium session

Design & Development Tools Exploration

A common activity for all students: sessions introducing the modern tools behind Mobile App Development, Data Analytics & Computer Vision, Cyber Security, and Robotics — from Android Studio and Tableau to Python, Arduino, and cloud platforms.
Faculty Facilitators: Dr. Sachin Kansal, Dr. Simran Setia, Dr. Tarunpreet Bhatia, Dr. Shailendra Tiwari, Dr. Ravinder Kumar
 
SEMESTER 02
Students assembling a robotic arm Android Studio IDE

Robotic Arm & Mobile App Development

Two group activities: building and programming an Arduino-controlled robotic arm for hands-on exposure to industrial automation, and designing, developing, and testing a complete mobile application for an identified problem.
Faculty Facilitators: Dr. Sachin Kansal (Robotic Arm), Dr. Simran Setia (Mobile App Development)
 
SEMESTER 03
Students hardware project teamwork

IoT, Secure Network Configuration & Handwriting Recognition (NLP)

Students build IoT pipelines from sensors to cloud and edge, configure secure networks with firewalls, authentication and encryption, and train CNN/RNN models that recognise handwritten text.
Faculty Facilitators: Dr. Samya Muhuri (IoT), Dr. Sumit Kumar Aggarwal (Secure Network), Dr. Ravinder Kumar (Handwriting Recognition)
 
SEMESTER 04
Ethical hacking demonstration Game development tools seminar

Healthcare Wearables, Ethical Hacking & Computer Vision

Health-monitoring with wearable sensors and ML models, penetration testing and vulnerability assessment in a controlled environment, and building games and animations with engines like Unity.
Faculty Facilitators: Dr. Jyoti (Healthcare), Dr. Gurpal Singh (Ethical Hacking), Dr. Shailendra Tiwari (Computer Vision)
 
SEMESTER 05
Real-time analytics Real-time data pipeline

Vision & Voice Bot, IoT Remote Monitoring & Real-Time Data Analysis

Teams build a bot with vision and voice modules guided through obstacle courses, design IoT-based remote monitoring systems with security best practices, and analyse live streaming data using APIs and WebSockets.
Faculty Facilitators: Dr. Jhilik Bhattacharya (Bot), Dr. Tarunpreet Bhatia (IoT Monitoring), Dr. Jinee Goyal (Real-Time Analysis)
EVERY SEMESTER

Workshops & Project Sessions

Every ELC activity above is anchored in hands-on practice: Arduino workshops, team project halls, mentored build sessions, and open-ended problem solving that carries ideas from concept to working prototype.
