Annai Vailankanni College of Engineering A Pathway to success


Mr. Chinna Durai of  I year (8.5 CGPA) sharing 
his thoughts at “Padikarkal -2017” 
When I entered into this college I had no idea, on how to deal with the subject as basically I am not strong or good enough in English; because I studied in Tamil medium; but the way my professors took class and the special English practice training eased the burden on me and now in my II semester I could even speak English effectively. What inspired me much is that the race car and projects designed and developed by my seniors, now I wish that I could develop one during my II Year. My teachers have helped me much in scoring good marks and motivated me to stay strong. The Placement training programmes and the placement offered through the college to core companies which my seniors have got, have always wondered me and wish that I should also earn a placement offer during my Final year course. I feel proud that I am studying in this college and feel that probably few of my friends have missed the opportunity studying here. I am very happy to be here and my decision to study here is the best decision that I took in my life.

Technology Introduction program held for fishermen along with IEEE ADSF SIGHT

The AVCE Student Branch of IEEE jointly organized a Technology Introduction Program with IEEE ADSF SIGHT at Thoothoor on 10-04-2017. In the program a newly developed mobile app called “Fishers' Guide” was introduced to the fishermen of Thoothoor. The functioning of the app which is in the development stage was explained to the fishermen and the fishermen suggested inclusion of some additional features. Mr. I. Tamil Selvan, Chairman of the branch welcomed the gathering. Mr.Vincent Jain, Chairman of IEEE ADSF SIGHT and Mr. G. Gaswin Kastro, AVCE SB Counselor also addressed the gathering.

Students of Annai Vailankanni College of Engineering has been developing a mobile application called “Fishers' Guide”. This app can be used by the fishermen to know the weather, potential fishing zones, wind speed and other parameters. This app is being designed such that the users can be monitored from the shore. This will help the users to get assistance soon at the time of distress and other critical situations. This program enabled interaction between the fishermen and the app developers. The fishermen found the app to be much useful and suggested some more features to be included in the app. The app was installed in the mobiles of fishermen so that they can be monitored during their voyages. This program was also helpful for the app developers to make their final design more efficient.
