Note: In general, the Section will not provide participation certificates for SKEP sessions unless specified otherwise.
The venues of SKEP programs span colleges and other institutions spread over length and breadth of this Section's geography. In order to efficiently organize SKEP sessions at various geographical regions of the Section, it is advisable that academic institutions co-located in a city or region, pool together and organize the SKEP sessions during the same period. This will help sharing the accommodation expenses for the SKEP speakers and costs of other arrangements.
What, where and when the SKEP sessions could be organized are almost entirely limited by the enthusiasm and active involvement of the IEEE Maharashtra Section Student Branches as well as heads or senior members of the academic, research and industrial units.
In these workshops students will learn the importance of upcoming technologies such as Embedded System, IoT, Machine learning, etc and trends for the future. These workshops are hands-on courses especially designed for UG/PG students to develop their hardware and programming skills. These courses will help students to develop their research interest, Proof of Concept (PoC), and prototyping their ideas.
Workshop speakers' traveling and local hospitality expenses need to be supported by host institute/college.
