Participants created posters that illustrated solutions ranging from renewable energy advancements to eco-friendly transportation and sustainable waste management.
The Poster Making Competition on the theme "Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Future" was organized by the IEEE Industrial Applications Society (IAS) Chapter in collaboration with the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (DEECE) at Galgotias University. The event took place on 8th October 2024, celebrating IEEE Day, a global initiative recognizing the significant contributions of engineers and technologists to improving lives through technology.
Participation and Event Overview:
The competition attracted 40 participants from various departments, eager to showcase their artistic and technical talents. Each participant, either working individually or as a team, was tasked with creating a poster that visually represented innovative solutions for achieving a sustainable future. This competition encouraged students to engage with real-world sustainability challenges by blending their creativity with their technical knowledge. They were given the opportunity to explore environmental problems and propose imaginative solutions through their designs, incorporating artistic elements, diagrams, and textual explanations.
The theme focused on inspiring students to think critically about global issues such as climate change, renewable energy, eco-friendly transportation, and sustainable waste management. Their task was to propose new ideas or refine existing solutions that could help address these pressing problems, thus allowing participants to present their visions for a greener and more sustainable future in an impactful and engaging format.
Event Structure:
The event commenced with a welcome address by the Chair of the IEEE IAS Chapter, who emphasized the significance of IEEE Day and the pivotal role engineers and innovators play in fostering sustainability and technological advancements. The Chair highlighted the event’s objective of promoting awareness around sustainability and encouraging innovative problem-solving among students.
Participants were given 2 hours to work on their posters, using a mix of visual elements, diagrams, and text to convey their innovative solutions. Their posters were expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of sustainability issues and to provide insightful suggestions on how modern technologies could mitigate these challenges. The session was interactive, with students discussing ideas and collaborating creatively while working on their designs.
Judging and Evaluation:
After the poster-making session, the completed works were evaluated by a panel of expert judges, consisting of faculty members from DEECE, who are well-versed in engineering and sustainability topics. The posters were judged on several criteria, including creativity, originality, relevance to the theme, and overall presentation. The judging panel also provided constructive feedback to the participants, encouraging them to further explore innovative ideas for a sustainable future and continue their journey as change-makers.
