The goal of the hackathon was to teach intercultural aspects as well as to gain skills in using Internet-of-Things (IoT) hardware, and programming software applications, even with no prior knowledge. Topic 2: Engine control during severe weather conditionsĮach:r student was able to choose a topic, resulting in four interdisciplinary/international work teams made up of students from different disciplines and universities. Topic 1: Display for overtaking large vehicles By way of background, more than 14,000 people die in road traffic accidents in South Africa every year, compared to around 2,500 deaths in Germany in 2021, with a significantly higher number of motor vehicles per capita.Īll four selected topics are highly relevant for Cape Town and contribute to safer driving: It was interesting to note that the HNU students focused primarily on improving efficiency in mobility, whereas the African students addressed the issue of road safety. What was special about this hackathon was that the participants did not simply "program away", but approached the challenges in a structured manner, focusing at all times on the benefits for potential customers.įirst, the participants collected ideas together and presented them in a pitch by the idea initiator. HNU - Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences.International Possibilities for HNU Staff.The Hackathon was attended physically by 100 participants, INAE fellows and dignitaries, and several others online. Prof Suranjan Das, Vice-Chancellor, Jadavpur University, highlighted that this hackathon provided a platform to solve problems pertaining to the themes which encompassed new and emerging areas of science and engineering.
They emphasised on the importance of introducing digital gaming initiatives to young students. Prof Indranil Manna, President, INAE, and Prof Sandeep Verma, Secretary, SERB Chief Guest, joined virtually during the valedictory session which was held in Hybrid mode. Prof Rajib Bandyopadhyay, Jadavpur University, was the Co-ordinator for SERB-INAE Hackathon 2022. Prof Sivaji Chakravorti, Vice-President, INAE, steered this entire activity. Technically worked for 30 hours continuously on the assigned problem and were evaluated after every 6 hours by the experts from various pioneering Engineering Institutes/ Organisations across India. The shortlisted teams participated in person at Jadavpur University, Kolkata. The Hackathon, which started on September 3, at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, received 75 applications from all over India, and 35 teams were shortlisted for participation.
A Cash Prize of Rs 75,000 was given to the winning team and Rs 50,000 to the first runner-up. Second prizes were awarded on the themes Big Data Computation and Data-Driven Finance. Creative-minded undergraduate and postgraduate science and engineering students in the country submitted their innovative ideas of technological solutions using artificial intelligence and machine learning, big data computation, cyber security, and data-driven finance at the SERB-INAE Hackathon 2022.Ī total of six Prizes were announced at the Hackathon organised jointly by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) and Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE).įirst and second prizes were awarded on the themes Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and Cyber Security.
