48thENGINEERS DAY

48th Engineers’Day was celebrated by Gujarat State Center at Ahmedabad to

commemorate the birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Sir M. Visvesvaraya on 15th September

2015. Prof Dr. Vinod R. Shah, Former Professor, CEPT University, Ahmedabad and currently

the Director, Vinod Shah Consultants Private Ltd delivered a lecture cum presentation on

the theme “Engineering Challenges for Knowledge Era”. Speaking at the occasion he said


Data is processed and analyzed and a reconstructed picture of historical events and/or

projection of future events is termed Information, which is internalized as knowledge.

Knowledge is externalized as Information and this is stored and captured as Data. Thus

Data- Information –Knowledge cycle moves. Speaking about ages he said earlier it was

Agriculture age dependent on farmers, which got transformed into Industrial age producing

factory workers. Till recently we were living in Information age producing knowledge

workers but 21st Century is of Conceptual age which shall be based on Human Intelligence,

Intuition and Discretion. He described graphically the waves of innovation and said currently

we are passing through the 6th wave as per UNESCO report. He posed a question whether

challenge was the same for Visvesvaraya and Brunel and replied in affirmative adding that

the form has changed.

Explaining the distinguished feature of technology of knowledge era, he said that newer

technologies are invented at faster pace, communication is faster, there is a larger market

because of viability of globalization using technology, obsolescence is faster, and there is

high impact of disruptive technologies. Other features include networked economy,

intellectual property rights, cyber laws etc. He said that products and concepts prevailing at

one time are suffering from obsolescence and dematerialization like slide rules, type writers

are now history. There is revolution in communication with the advent of mobile, smart

phones and internet. This has made pen-friends, snail mails obsolete. Explaining further

about the disruptive technologies he stated that with introduction of completely new

approaches, there is potential to create a new industry or transform an existing one. He

cited the example of revolutionary – radical innovations like digital photography, high-

temperature superconductors and evolutionary innovations – formed by the convergence of

previously separate research areas like MRI imaging, faxing, and electronic banking. He

while speaking about networked economy stated that there is emerging economic order

within the information society through social networks as against Industrial era where an

individual was in the focus.

Summing up he said that the knowledge era is posing a larger challenge; the question is

who will take it -- Academia? Industry? Or future engineers? There is a paradigm shift: From

Industrial to knowledge era. Education - production factories called schools shall have to

change the approach as the requirements are totally different.

Shri S. J. Desai, Chairman, Gujarat State Center welcomed Dr. Shah earlier and wished all

engineers present a very happy Engineers Day. He paid glorious tribute to Sir M.

Visvesvaraya. Council member Shri N.B. Vasoya presented the Life Sketch of Sir


Visvesvaraya. Thereafter the Chief Guest and others joined in garlanding the photo of Sir

Visvesvaraya. A film on life of Sir Visvesvaraya was also shown.

Shri C. V. Nadpara, Hon secretary proposed the vote of thanks.

TECHNICAL ACTIVITIESAn organization is only as strong as its connection to its members. IEIGSC Conventions

and Seminars serve to enhance the relationship of members to IEIGSC—and to one

another. This philosophy also extends to making connections across industry and other

organizations, with the goal of finding opportunities to expand its core values and

mission. Our programs demonstrate significant contribution from our College students

to the advancement of engineering for the benefit of our members and the profession

generally. IEIGSC ran 8 national level programs throughout the year attracting about

1680 delegates. Overall attendance of participants was 6173.

Supporting Women EngineersA number of barriers exist to the progression of larger numbers of women in

engineering, and these can be represented by the analogy of hurdles in a running race.

IEIGSC has therefore keeping above in mind constituted a Women Engineers Committee

and started doing Women-only programs for fulfilling the need of the hour. Beginning

was made by conducting one women-only program at L.D. Engineering College,

Ahmedabad on 31st July 2015. Looking to the encouraging response received, further

programs are being worked out.

Electronic Media & Social Media EngagementOur website www.ieigsc.org has been regularly updated to keep you posted about our

activities and future events.

We are also publishing our digital weekly digest of news, videos, views, photos related to

various engineering branches from world over in the form of IEIGSC Weekly every Sunday

morning.

Attempts to send newsletter in mail has partially succeeded as several members are yet to

respond to our frequent request of providing their email id to us.

IEI GSC continues what it started last year -- its social media connect by posting regularly and

updating its facebook, twitter, google plus, YouTube, slideshare and Linkedin pages. Response

is encouraging. Good suggestions for our working also have emanated from interaction on

social media. IEIGSC is slowly catching up as a brand in social media.

We also started during the year webcasting our Friday lectures on Google hangout so as to

reach out to our members staying outside Ahmedabad. These were also streamed

simultaneously on You Tube making them permanently available to the viewers. The scheme

had to be abandoned due to frequent net connectivity problems which could not be resolved

despite our best attempts. Plans are afoot to prepare WhatsApp Groups for each of the

engineering Divisions for interactive media.


Outreach ProgramsIEI GSC conducted several programs outside its headquarters to have direct connect with

its members and potential members, students and academia. These include:
