Industrial Technical Event

Dr. Sujoy Bhattacharya, Mr. Bibhas Das, Ms. Gulfishan Mobin, Mr. Pabak Indu

The main objective of this series webinar is to fill the gap between the academia and industry and it also helps student to acquaint industry technologies.

Mr. Chandrakant Deoda

Chandrakant Deoda working as Senior Technical Delivery Manager (DevOps) - with Visteon Corporation Pvt Ltd based out of Pune, He completed Electronic & Instrumentation science post graduate from University of Pune (Pune) in the year 2004. With a brief stint in Technical sales markets, Chandrakant been largely associated with software & IT industry in India, USA and Japan for last 15+ years and have worked with various Indian and Foreign companies including Wipro Technology, Jonson control , Toshiba, etc. Chandrakant have been associated with, and voluntarily conducting the Sahaja Yoga Meditation programs and classes free of cost, with various government organizations, colleges, schools, and private sector companies.

The webinar commenced with an introduction of the resource person, and the objectives of the session was highlighted. Followed by introductory talk by our Dean Prof.(Dr.) Ashwini Kumar Sharma and HOD Computer Science and Engineering Prof.(Dr.) Sujoy Bhattacharya. The expert went on to further elaborate the critical skill gaps. Much of our standard engineering curriculum is focused wholly on the fundamentals of programming skills. While the fundamentals are of utmost importance, majority of the available jobs for graduate software engineers will be in automation software development rather than in R&D. The different components of DevOps such as Docker, Jenkings and Kubernets. The speaker enlightened us how automation in the software development had made the production and development easy. He introduced docker as a software platform for building applications based on containers — small and lightweight execution environments that make shared use of the operating system kernel but otherwise run-in isolation from one another. While containers as a concept have been around for some time, Docker, an open source project launched in 2013, helped popularize the technology, and has helped drive the trend towards containerization and microservices in software development that has come to be known as cloud-native development.

He also added that each Docker container starts with a Dockerfile. A Dockerfile is a text file written in an easy-to-understand syntax that includes the instructions to build a Docker image (more on that in a moment). A Dockerfile specifies the operating system that will underlie the container, along with the languages, environmental variables, file locations, network ports, and other components it needs—and, of course, what the container will actually be doing once we run it.

And for Jenkings he took us to the inception of Jenkings by giving example that in 2004 by Kohsuke Kawaguchi, while he worked for Sun Microsystems. Kohsuke was a developer at Sun and got tired of incurring the wrath of his team every time his code broke the build. He created Jenkins as a way to perform continuous integration – that is, to test his code before he did an actual commit to the repository, to be sure all was well. Once his teammates saw what he was doing, they all wanted to use Jenkins. Kohsuke open sourced it, creating the Jenkins project, and soon Jenkins usage had spread around the world.

And from their taking us to the present day of Jenkings which are Jenkins orchestrates the entire software delivery pipeline – called continuous delivery. For some organizations automation extends even further, to continuous deployment. Continuous delivery (CD), coupled with a DevOps culture, dramatically accelerates the delivery of software.

Jenkins is the most widely adopted solution for continuous delivery, thanks to its extensibility and a vibrant, active community. The Jenkins community offers more than 1,700 plugins that enable Jenkins to integrate with virtually any tool, including all of the best-of-breed solutions used throughout the continuous delivery process. Jenkins continues to grow as the dominant solution for software process automation, continuous integration and continuous delivery and, as of February 2018, there are more than 165,000 active installations and an estimated 1.65 million users around the world.

He also demonstrated us with some live job submission and explained how productivity can be increased using these tools.

He also focused on the job prospect of the technology and showed a whole new path to the students which is beyond the conventional studies.

Mr. Bibhas Das, Associate Professor, Department of CSE concluded the session with thanking everyone.

Mr. Arnab Chakraborty

Arnab has more than 10yrs of experience in the Top-tech industry with great Global exposure as Cloud Computing, DevOps
and Data Analytics professional with deep understanding of Cloud Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Data Engineering,
Machine Learning, SAS Business Intelligence etc. and holds multiple certifications across the said technologies.
He has led and implemented major technical projects across IT, BFSI sectors and is currently based in Hong Kong, employed
with a Global Bank.
He possesses a great interest in the advancement of technology and data product management. He loves to deliver sessions
on data , cloud computing, analytics, applications and innovations.

The webinar commenced with an introduction of the resource person, and the objectives of the session was highlighted. Followed by introductory talk by our Dean Prof.(Dr.) Ashwini Kumar Sharma and HOD Computer Science and Engineering Prof.(Dr.) Sujoy Bhattacharya. The expert went on to further elaborate the critical skill gaps. Much of our standard engineering curriculum is focused wholly on the fundamentals of programming skills. He introduced the technology cloud computing as the delivery of on-demand computing services -- from applications to storage and processing power -- typically over the internet and on a pay-as-you-go model. He also explained the advantages of cloud computing as owning their own computing infrastructure or data centres, companies can rent access to anything from applications to storage from a cloud service provider.

One benefit of using cloud computing services is that firms can avoid the upfront cost and complexity of owning and maintaining their own IT infrastructure, and instead simply pay for what they use, when they use it.

In turn, providers of cloud computing services can benefit from significant economies of scale by delivering the same services to a wide range of customers.

Cloud computing services cover a vast range of options now, from the basics of storage, networking, and processing power through to natural language processing and artificial intelligence as well as standard office applications. Pretty much any service that doesn't require you to be physically close to the computer hardware that you are using can now be delivered via the cloud.

As an example of cloud computing, he mentioned Cloud computing underpins a vast number of services. That includes consumer services like Gmail or the cloud back-up of the photos on your smartphone, though to the services which allow large enterprises to host all their data and run all of their applications in the cloud. Netflix relies on cloud computing services to run its its video streaming service and its other business systems too, and have a number of other organisations.

Cloud computing is becoming the default option for many apps: software vendors are increasingly offering their applications as services over the internet rather than standalone products as they try to switch to a subscription model. However, there is a potential downside to cloud computing, in that it can also introduce new costs and new risks for companies using it.

As an carrier prospect of cloud computing he added that building the infrastructure to support cloud computing now accounts for more than a third of all IT spending worldwide, according to research from IDC. Meanwhile spending on traditional, in-house IT continues to slide as computing workloads continue to move to the cloud, whether that is public cloud services offered by vendors or private clouds built by enterprises themselves.

According to Gartner, global spending on cloud services will reach $260bn this year up from $219.6bn. It's also growing at a faster rate than the analysts expected. But it's not entirely clear how much of that demand is coming from businesses that actually want to move to the cloud and how much is being created by vendors who now only offer cloud versions of their products (often because they are keen to move to away from selling one-off licences to selling potentially more lucrative and predictable cloud subscriptions

Along with the career prospect of cloud computing he also demonstrated the facility and hands on experience of AWS.

Mr. Bibhas Das, Associate Professor, Department of CSE concluded the session with thanking everyone.

Much of our standard engineering curriculum is focused wholly on the fundamentals of programming skills. He introduced the technology Agile as the delivery of on-demand computing services -- from applications to storage and processing power -- typically over the internet and on a pay-as-you-go model. She also explained the advantages of Agile software development in comparison with waterfall model.

Agile methods differed dramatically from traditional development in at least five ways: scoping, schedule, cost estimates, deliverables and key success factors. To scope systems developed through traditional methods, teams are asked to make detailed estimates of project length and budget after doing extensive analysis of the system’s requirements. The more features and functions, and the more connections to other systems there are, the greater the system complexity and therefore, more people, time, and budget to do all the work.

Along with the career prospect of Agile software she also demonstrated the facility and hands on experience of Scrum.

Mr. Bibhas Das, Associate Professor, Department of CSE concluded the session with thanking everyone.

The whole reason to use agile development is to come to market far faster with a new online system, and get much earlier and frequent customer feedback on which features of the system to further develop or abandon. Hence the funding decision for agile development needs to be top down, as well as dynamic.

As such, we believe that making all this work well is best done when a company delegates the decisions on what pieces of the system to work on next to the product owners in the business (who best understand their product and its performance) and to the development teams (who best understand how long it would take to build it).

Mr. Nachiket Padke

Product Owner, Eleano, Pune

Crashworthiness is the ability of a structure to protect its occupants during an impact. This is commonly tested when investigating the safety of aircraft and vehicles. Depending on the nature of the impact and the vehicle involved, different criteria are used to determine the crashworthiness of the structure. Crashworthiness may be assessed either prospectively, using computer models (e.g., LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, MSC Dytran, MADYMO) or experiments, or retrospectively by analyzing crash outcomes. Several criteria are used to assess crashworthiness prospectively, including the deformation patterns of the vehicle structure, the acceleration experienced by the vehicle during an impact, and the probability of injury predicted by human body models. Injury probability is defined using criteria, which are mechanical parameters (e.g., force, acceleration, or deformation) that correlate with injury risk. A common injury criterion is the head impact criterion (HIC). Crashworthiness is assessed retrospectively by analyzing injury risk in real-world crashes, often using regression or other statistical techniques to control for the myriad of confounders that are present in crashes.

The webinar commenced with an introduction of the resource person, and the objectives of the session were highlighted by Prof. (Dr.) Amitava Mukherjee, Acting Dean of SOET. The Beautiful Mind is a Self-Learning Path expressed by Two faculty Members from SOET, Mr. Rajat Subhra Roy and Mr. Swarnendu Ghosh. They have started the session about the concept of a Beautiful Mind. They covered up the following points with the help of a PowerPoint Presentation.
What is “Beautiful Mind”
• It is a learning method where students shall learn bound free.
• No teacher, no instructor, only laboratories with equipment, library, and internet facility.
• Learn beside your regular course of UG or PG.
• Here learning is project-based only.
• You can learn about a specific domain at a time through projects.
• Anyone with the passion to learn and innovate can join.
Why “Beautiful Mind”
• It will prepare you to grab the best job in the field just after passing out.
• It will help you to learn a particular domain thoroughly.
• This learning method will make you learn from the outside of the book.
• It will make you go deep inside a domain.
How to learn through “Beautiful Mind”
• You have to register into any learning path out of four learning paths or domains are given below:
o Application Software Development
o System Software Development
o Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications
o Web Development
• After registering into the program, various problems will be given stage wise.
• After clearing one stage the next stage will be activated.
• Clearing every stage will generate a certificate.
• The final stage will generate a “master” certificate.
• Duration for every learning path is 12-18 months.
The 1st Keynote speaker addressed on the role of Beautiful mind learning System in Engineering Study delivered by Mr. Pradip Bhowmik, Former Director, SOET, Adamas University, Former Partner at PwC & KPMG. The lecture stated the parameter required for Engineering Study depends upon the Project-based learning. The teacher is not in the school to impose certain ideas or to form certain habits in the child but is there as a member of the community to select the influences which shall affect the child and to assist him in properly responding to these. For this reason, he promoted the so-called expressive or constructive activities as the center of correlation. Educational research has advanced this idea of teaching and learning into a methodology known as "project-based learning”. Student-Centered Pedagogy involves a dynamic classroom approach in which it is believed that students acquire a deeper knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems. Students learn about a subject by working for an extended period to investigate and respond to a complex question, challenge, or problem. It is a style of active learning and inquiry-based learning. PBL contracts with paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents facts or portrays a smooth path to knowledge by instead posing questions, problems, or scenarios.
The 2nd Keynote speaker Dr. Anup Ghosh, IBM Distinguished Engineer CTO for SAP Special Initiatives, addressed the roadmap for Neuromorphic Technologies to drive next-generation cognitive computing, ranging from nanodevice-based hardware for accelerating well-known supervised-learning algorithms that happen to rely on static, labeled data, to emerging, biologically-inspired algorithms capable of learning from temporal, unlabeled data. The various hardware-centric neuromorphic projects currently underway at research were discussed in this webinar.
The session ended with the participants raising queries and the expert shared some valuable responses. Valedictory session as well as enrollment for Beautiful Mind Program taken by Mr. Debayan Bhattacharya, Asst. Prof, CSE Department, SOET, Adamas University.
