Workshop On Cloud Computing
Applied Science Department conducted a workshop on emerging technology “Cloud computing” for our budding Engineers on 27th February 2021. Students were privileged to have some of the eminent industry personalities as a guest speaker, Mr. Bhushan Satpute, Senior Technical Architect, Persistent Systems and Mr. Vishal Toshniwal, Principal Architect, Persistent Systems. It was completely a different way of learning and students gained some valuable inputs.
Workshop on Vedic Maths
Vedic Mathematics manifests the coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods are complementary, direct and easy. Realizing the importance of this treasure of ancient knowledge system, Dept. of Applied Science conducted a workshop on Vedic Maths on Jan 9, 2021 The resource person was Mr Vijay Kulkarni, Director, Director of Parijat Academy's ELearning.
In a very lucid manner Prof. Kulkarni explained some useful calculation techniques which the students can use in solving engineering problems. The students thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.
