An Aspiring Newbie on CE

Hey all CEan's.

I am Surya. Doing my B.tech in Electronics and communications branch.

Found this site while i was on a great search for a mini project.

Very much impressed and i am very happy to know that this site is having active members ( unlike some fourms where for years and years only we used to post and wait for the reply )

I hope to get all the required info from this site and try to share whatever info or news i came across.

Thanks for creating such a fantabulous site !

Even fewer women at IIMA this year

Posted: 19 Apr 2011 08:28 AM PDT

The participation of women candidates in the Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA) this year has seen no improvement since the last two years. While the number of girls offered admission at the institute's flagship course dropped from 16% in 2009 to 11% percent in 2010, the figure has dropped to 10.9% this year.

The institute's final admission list on the basis of Common Admission Test (CAT) and personal interviews were declared by the on Monday. A total of 376 admission offers which included 182 general candidates, 104 from non-creamy other backward classes, 56 from scheduled castes, 22 from scheduled tribes and 12 differently-abled students.

Talking about the decline of the participation of girls in the admission to the PGP, faculty at IIMA Diptesh Ghosh who was involved in the institute's admissions process said, "Number of girl candidates is not a part of our mandate during the admission process."

Preferring to remain anonymous a faculty of IIMA explained, "It is a larger issue. It depends on how many girls took part in the Common Admission Test and how many of them were able to make it to the interview calls for the institute."

As usual, engineering students have dominated the batch with a total of 94.15% students from engineering background. The rest of the students include 3.5% from commerce background, around 2.5% from science and the rest from agricultural background. Unlike last year, there is no candidate from the arts stream this year.

Harry Potter Like Invisibility Cloak - Japanese Researchers

Posted: 19 Apr 2011 08:13 AM PDT

he technology comes from 2003, but it's developers say the Harry Potter-like invisibility cloak is just the beginning. The team, led by Dr. Susumu Tachi, from Keio University, is now adapting their findings to help pilots, drivers, doctors and others. Retro-reflective projection technology uses a computer, a video camera and projector to shine background images onto the front of a subject wearing specialised clothing, creating the illusion of invisibility. What makes the technology unique is a fabric made of glass beads only 50 microns wide, which can reflect light directly back at the source, much like the screen in a cinema. Viewed from near the light source, the projection is bright even in broad daylight, and researchers say the material can be applied to almost anything. In the short term, the team sees usage in car interiors, airplanes and helicopters. They say blind spots could be eliminated and accidents and hard landings avoided by making walls seemingly transparent.

The eventual goal though is to create an "augmented reality" that allows anyone to easily
see information on real world objects. [Dr. Susumu Tachi, Keio University]: "Looking to the future, instead of glasses, people could wear this and it would act as a navigation system. It could also tell you who someone is, if you meet them around town." In the few years since the technology's invention, the price of the material, as well as that of computing, has come down, opening the door for smaller yet more powerful applications. Whether used to increase safety or to create a whole new form of computer-human interaction, the world is likely to see, or possibly not see, more of this technology in the future.

Interesting topic in computer science or engineering?

Posted: 19 Apr 2011 05:42 AM PDT

I need an interesting seminar topic in computer science or engineering to talk about it for college students, does anyone have any idea? I'd be so glad if someone could suggest good links and websites about a computer engineering topic.
