Oppurtunies for IPR&IT in Internet age, Cyber Laws for Engineers.

Posted: 22 Nov 2010 07:29 AM PST

Any one have an idea about these courses,

1) Intellectual Property Rights & Information Technology in Internet age : This course will cover the basic laws of patents, copyrights, Trademarks and management in IPRs.

2) Cyber Laws : This course will cover the fundamentals of cyber Law and Cyber World, Regulatory Framework, Cyber Crimes and E-Commerce.

I am much interested to do these courses. These are online courses conducting by very big and good Institutes. The duration and fee is ok. But I haven't taken any online courses till now. I doubt most of the online courses.
I know there is very importance and need for this type of courses these days. I know that in Government sector, there is much pay for the engineers who gone through these courses. But I just wanna know about the opportunities in the Private Sector(In Companies).

How To Present Yourself In Seminar

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 11:52 PM PST

Deliver Seminar Effectively:

One of the important tasks in any engineering student's life is to deliver a seminar on a topic or project. The seminars are useful in presenting newer ideas, technologies to a wider audience and also to inform your audience about your project. Many students find it extremely difficult to present a seminar in an effective way. There are simple tips you can follow to make very good impression on your audience and subsequently secure good marks in semesters.

1. Content:

No matter how good your project or topic is, without great content, it's a waste of everyone's time. Let's get this straight in our minds: You should have great content for the seminar. However, this can be challenging. So how can you get awesome content for your topic or presentation? It's simple.

First analyze the topic or project on your own. I'm sure not many of you have done this. Then ask these questions: What am I presenting? To whom I'm presenting? Why is this important? (that's more than just securing good marks) How can make this interesting? and so on. With the help of these specific questions, you have opened the gates of new information. Now you have places like CrazyEngineers and Wikipedia where you can seek great information and content for your seminar. Have experts to answer your questions so that you present the correct information.

2. Your Power Point Presentation:

You might think that a complicated presentation will impress the judges (if any) and your audience. But it's exactly otherwise. Imagine yourself as a part of the audience and think what would you expect the presenter to do. Would you like a boring, listless presentation ? Of course not.

So, how can you make your presentation interesting to audience? There are few tips -

Do not fill your slides with loads of text just to make yourself appear smarter and intelligent. If the person sitting in the last row can't read what you've written on the slides, you've failed. Don't do it. Just one or two descriptive lines on your slides with a BIG FONT and people will read it.

But that does not mean you go on increasing the number of slides. Any presentation with more than 20 slides is - boring. It's a simple rule. Try to limit the number of slides to under 15 and if not possible, 18. But never more than 20.

Make an intelligent use of images, videos to make your presentation appear good and attention grabbing.

See, the ultimate idea is to make your audience listen to you and not read text on the slides. Don't compensate your shyness by adding lot of text on your slides.

3. You:

- Shouldn't be scared of facing audience. If you've stage fear (lot of people do), get rid of it by practicing it. I got rid of my stage fear by choosing to participate in college cultural fest in singing competition

- Should allot enough time for your project members to explain their part during presentation. Again, don't add 10 slides per member. Even 2-3 slides/member will do. But have each member present quality content in their part of presentation.

- Should dress up well. Formals is natural choice. But what to wear - is your own decision.

- Should not speak faster just to appear fluent with the language. Also, do not fake accent.

- Should be ready with everything at least 30 minutes in advance.

- Should not have wavy hands, shaky legs. Get rid of stage fear.

- Should not be over confident even if you know your topic is the best.

- Should look at the judges and your audience with confidence. Don't ignore a part of audience. Look at everyone so that they feel connected.

- Should try to have an earlier slot for your presentation and set the benchmark high for the rest of the participants (helps in competitions).

- Should be prepared to answer questions related to your seminar. This can be achieved by preparing well.

- Should get your presentation demoed in front of someone who's better at English, if possible.


I hope these tips will be helpful to all of you who're looking to deliver effective seminars in your colleges and competitions.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask in this thread.

Final Year Electronics Project Idea: Noise Cancelling Earphones

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 10:09 PM PST

This concept has been developed, by Bose Audio (not sure though), but I think there's still lot of scope for improvement.

The idea is to develop earphone that will cancel the background noise and output pure music through the speakers. This can be achieved by setting up microphones along with the speakers that detect the noise from surroundings and cancels it so that the listener only gets pure audio through the speakers.

What do you think? Workable?

Final Year CS Project Idea: Related Photo Finder

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 10:06 PM PST

Project Idea: I think project idea could be incredibly useful if developed by someone from our community.

I'm talking about developing a service that will accept a photograph; analyze it and find photographs related to the original photograph. Let me elaborate a bit more on this idea:-

Let's say I'm visiting Taj Mahal for the first time and I have no one to guide. I take a picture of the Taj and upload it to our web service. The web service then analyzes our uploaded photograph, identifies that it is the Taj Mahal and then searches the web for more Taj Mahal photographs that might be useful to me.

This is a crude idea; but can be very useful. Anyone wants to add to it?

Now an animated film on Mark Zuckerberg!

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 09:38 PM PST

Hayden 5 Media and Bluewater Productions team up to create the animated film based off the comic book for Mark Zuckerburg: Creator of Facebook.
"When we found out that Bluewater was releasing this comic, we knew we had to get on board," says Todd Wiseman, President of Hayden 5 Media. "We saw a great opportunity to re-tell the story of Mark Zuckerburg post Social Network in a brighter, animated form that could be enjoyed and understood by a broader audience."
Much like the technique used in the film A Scanner Darkly, the production of Mark Zuckerburg and The Found will begin with live action filmmaking in a digital medium, followed by the use of interpolated rotoscope. The result will be a cross between real characters and animated surroundings seamlessly integrated for a unique, comic book aesthetic.

Well, after watching 'The Social Network', do we want more?

Is MiFi the future of Wireless Internet?

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 09:33 PM PST

A short description of MiFi:

MiFis are small gadgets that have no need of being plugged into anything and work similar to wireless routers. MiFis connect to a cellular carrier's data network. We have to charge their batteries and they provide a Wi-Fi Signal to nearby gadgets to gain access to the internet.
MiFis were first introduced in U.S. in May 2009 by Novatel Wireless, and Novatel owns a registered trademark on the "MiFi" brand name in the U.S.
They are more economical & telecom companies are rapidly improving the speeds of their networks.

But some people believe MiFis are just a passing fashion. And some say they have security issues. Once every device can have a cellular chip in it, why would we need an extra gadget to carry around?
