Ottige Kaliyona, an initiative where government school children are taught to use technology and develop social skills, is also conducted as part of KAGADA.
CODEFURY, introduced three years ago, is an Annual National level Hackathon conducted by IEEE UVCE Computer Society. The main task of the Hackathon is to create a Web or Android/iOS Application related to the problem domain which is given on the spot. The problem domains given in the last 3 iterations were 'Building a platform to aid women empowerment and safety', 'Building an E-commerce application' and 'Jobs for all: Effective management of unorganised labour post COVID-19'. The Hackathon sees about 200 participants from all over the country, come together to showcase their coding skills earnestly.
IEEE UVCE Art & Design SIG is an amalgamation of all things creative. It is aimed towards creating a platform for students interested in Graphic Design, Art and Video Editing. The main goal is to encourage students to express their creativity with no bounds to the medium involved. With all the posters, brochures, videos and any creative media released from the team, we aim to develop our abilities beyond a closed classroom.
Computer Society is one of the most prominent societies that comes under IEEE UVCE. It acts as a great platform for students of all branches to learn more and contribute to the computing world. Computer Society has been conducting many events since its inception which includes the Annual National level hackathon CodeFury, the monthly coding competition NCode and several workshops to kindle students' interest to update their knowledge on new upcoming technological advances and improve their programming skills as well.
Nirman is the newest SIG of IEEE UVCE. IEEE UVCE Nirman's primary aim is to keep all Civil Engineering enthusiasts of UVCE technically strong. It conducts webinars, workshops and events related to important topics for the students to gain good experience and knowledge. It is the platform where students get a chance to test their skill and ability in the field.
Literary club functions as a part of IEEE UVCE with a motto of harnessing the linguistic skills. It conducts activities to develop communication and creative writing abilities of students. This club helps in enhancing the communication skills of students and helps them communicate their ideas and innovations in a clear and efficient way.
Power and Energy Society is a new student chapter under IEEE UVCE, started in April 2019. The main aim of the Society is to strengthen the technical skills of interested students from all branches, but mainly concentrated on students of electronics and electrical branches. It conducts many technical events, talks and industrial visits. A monthly Electronics and Electrical Challenge Voltorb is also conducted, through which students can test their technical strengths.
Power Electronics Society is a new chapter under IEEE UVCE, inaugurated in June 2021. The main aim of the Society is to strengthen the technical skills of the students in the field of Power Electronic Systems. We look forward to conduct webinars and workshops on topics related to power electronic systems, technologies and it's applications such as Fuel Cell Technology, Renewable Energy Systems.
The Software Development SIG previously the Web Development SIG was started in April 2017. This is the software tweaking pavilion of IEEE UVCE. It specializes in conducting software development related contests and workshops from IEEE UVCE. It strives to empower and build a community of aspiring developers.
SIGHT is an ensemble in IEEE that focuses on projects that are beneficial to the society. It gives enthusiastic groups of engineers a platform to reach out to different sectors of people in different walks of life, thereby changing lives one at a time towards their better future by solving their everyday problems by providing a technology based solution.
IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) is a global network of IEEE members and volunteers dedicated to promoting women engineers and scientists, and inspiring girls around the world to follow their academic interests in a career in engineering and science. IEEE UVCE WIE is an Affinity group under IEEE UVCE. It's goal is to facilitate the recruitment and retention of women in technical disciplines globally. It envisions a vibrant community of IEEE women and men collectively using their diverse talents to innovate for the benefit of humanity.
Yantrik, the robotics club of IEEE UVCE was formed in 2005 to further the understanding of the field. Students from various discipline have collaborated to keep this club active for last 14 years. With the wake of recent developments in technology, robotics predominates the important sectors and also demands a new approach. The club has shouldered several workshops, events and peer-to-peer training programs for teaching robotics to everyone who were curious and interested and intends to form a strong community of roboticists in UVCE. It commits to the fundamentals for rethinking the design and to build efficient robots with advanced capabilities.
