Workshop - Iot simulation

On August 6th, 2024, the MCA Department, in collaboration with the DAWN Association, hosted a guest lecture on "IoT Simulation" using Tinker CAD, held at the MCA Lab. The event was introduced by Mrs. D. Angeline Ranjithamani, the Head of the MCA Department, who welcomed the resource person. The session was designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of simulations and their significance in the Internet of Things (IoT). Targeting IoT enthusiasts, both students and professionals, the lecture aimed to equip participants with insights into real-world IoT applications and how to design and test IoT prototypes using simulation tools like Tinker CAD.

Dr. M. Caroline Viola Stella Mary, Professor, Department of IT and ERP Head, with her extensive academic and corporate experience, highlighted the importance of IoT and simulation technologies. She explained the value of IoT simulations, demonstrating how Tinker CAD can be effectively utilized during the development process. The event began with an introduction to IoT, emphasizing its impact on various industries and everyday life. Dr. Mary showcased the modeling of electronic circuits, programming of microcontrollers, and simulation of IoT devices using Tinker CAD, culminating in a live demonstration of a basic IoT project.

Following the lecture, an interactive question-and-answer session allowed students to engage further and clarify their doubts. The students responded positively to the guest lecture, particularly appreciating the live demonstration and the practical insights shared by the speaker. The session sparked interest among students in using Tinker CAD for their IoT projects, and they valued the hands-on advice provided. Overall, the guest lecture on IoT simulation with Tinker CAD was a resounding success, offering students valuable knowledge and skills in IoT simulation and development. The workshop was coordinated by Mrs. J. Anciline Jenifer, AP/MCA.
