Around 100 students from the Dept. of EEE, AIUB and from the other universities took part in the workshop spontaneously. A project team from CUET Robo Mechatronics Association-RMA showed a voice controlled robot and describes its functions and fabrication algorithms. Mr. Kazi Safwath Abedin from AIUB showed a universal development board which can be used as an instrument of learning the microcontroller interface for the novices. Depending on the instructors’ lectures, a quick quiz contest was held during the workshop.
At the end of the workshop, Mr. Rinku Basak, Assistant Professor & Coordinator, Dept. of EEE, AIUB delivered his ending speech by inspiring the Engineering novices to arrange and take part in such workshops with a view to ignite themselves in the way of technical and Engineering advancement.
