• Project Name:- Smart Gloves

Students' name: Yekta Roy, Soumitaa Chatterjee, Debatra Choudhury.

Deaf and dumb people have a tiny low dream to communicate as normal people with others is not a straight forward task. An electronic glove is developed for deaf-mute communication interpreter system that helps out the deaf and dumb individuals to speak. The hand gesture plays a key role. Sign language is used by deaf and mute people and it is a communication skill that uses gestures instead of sound to convey meaning simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientations and movement of the hands, arms or body and facial expressions to express fluidly a speaker’s thoughts. To overcome the gap, we have come up with a project called ‘SMART GLOVE’. In this project, Flex Sensor plays the major role. The glove is fitted with flex sensors along the length of each finger and the thumb. The flex sensors give output in the form of voltage variation that varies with degree of bend.

Since the engineering design is to turn a concept into an actual device or technique and to make a design to be applicable, the project created an innovation design process for the electronic product. The process contain four main procedures: problem analysis, concept design, design applicable and make into a product, detail design.

2. Project Name: Shoe Charger: This project was awarded with the 3rd prize at technical division in Technical Fest 2016 (Kritanj 2016) at Narula Institute of Technology. One International Journal paper and one national conference paper have been published on this work.

Name of the Student: Sagar Patra, Mugdha Mondal (EIE 3^rd year)

Abstract of the Project: There is wastage of energy when people are in motion generating enormous energy. The charge generated from the piezoelectric material represents an opportunity for harvesting energy that could be invested for proper energy conservation and utilization also. By placing piezoelectric sensor inside the sole of a shoe, it should be possible to preserve or reuse significant amounts of energy to charge electronic gadgets during walking. This innovative work is mainly focused on designing a shoe charger for mobile phone. Due to any movement of feet, the bending of the sole of the shoe should be able to compress a piezoelectric plate and generate electricity. The produced energy can be the resource for charging portable gadgets.

3. Project Name: Human counter machine: One International Journal paper and one national conference paper have been published on this work.

Name of the Student: Sayan Kumar Swar(EIE 4th year), Swarup Dasgupta, Krishnendu Chowdhury, Debajyoti Gupta Sharma, Pranay Das (EIE 3rd year)

Abstract of the Project: In all vital areas of life such as home appliances, automated machine control, medical diagnostic instruments, transportation etc. usage of digital electronics are widely used. The human counting and alarming system is designed to monitor the entrance of a building to ensure any movement made within the protected area with an alarm. The human detection stages are implemented through the use of LASER light with the LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). An alarm comes on to alert of a possible presence of an intruder as well as this system can be used as a human counting machine to limit the accommodation of people in a closed area.

4. Project Name: Automatic level Controller

Name of the Student: Sayan Kumar Swar(EIE 4th year), Mehali Roy(EIE 3rd year)

Abstract of the Project: This project is designed to identify the water level and controlling the level of an overhead tank using a 555 timer IC. This system displays the water level as a numeric indication (0-9) on the wall of the tank. This is designed for overhead-tank-digital-water-level controller built with DC motor as a final control element. It can avoid the overflow of the tank and also maintain the lowest level. The designed system is cost-effective, easy to operate and very much useful for household implementation.

5. Project Name: Automation using Internet of Things

Name of the Student: Sayan Kumar Swar(EIE 4th year), Argha Mitra , Anumita Dey, Moumita Paul Chowdhury(EIE 2^nd year)

Abstract of the Project: The Internet of Things (IoT) is – at its most profound levels – about creating digital representations of real-world objects. It is a phenomenon that draws on rapid developments within IT, ICT and telecommunications to spark insights and to help companies create entirely new types of services and business areas. Moving into the Networked Society, there will be an expansion not only in the scale of connectivity, but more importantly, in its scope. Devices will become more capable and more broadly utilized, and when they connect to the internet, they will be integrated into vast numbers of different applications across sectors. IoT is already taking off, as organizations, governments and businesses move to better understand – and connect to – their physical surroundings in order to innovate, increase efficiency and become more sustainable. In Internet of Things (IoT) there is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. The Internet of Things extends internet connectivity beyond traditional devices like desktop and laptop computers, smart phones and tablets to a diverse range of devices and everyday things that utilize embedded technology to communicate and interact with the external environment, all via the Internet. The IoT is thus more than a play on words and more than simply a natural evolution of the current internet. At its most profound level, the IoT is about the convergence between the physical and the virtual, between manufacturer and consumer, and between tiny hardware components and large-scale, cloud-based software to create possibilities we have never seen before.
