About IEEE-NIEC (formerly BOSON)

IEEE-NIEC, the Student Branch of IEEE in the Northern India Engineering College was established on 20th February 2009, by our principal Prof. Dr. Yamini S. under the guidance of Dr. Prerna Gaur, IEEE Delhi Section Student Activities Committee. The contribution of IEEE-USIT (under GINI Project) in setting up our student branch is also worth appreciating. IEEE-NIEC aims at imparting technical knowledge as well as leadership skills to ensure that they dont step outside with an engineering degree but with vibrancy to develop innovative solutions and to meet the challenges of todays professional environment. It provides a non-suffocating environment to the students in their respective field and fills them with encouragement and enthusiasm to excel towards their goal. The journey of IEEE-NIEC since its inauguration in March 2009 has been eventful one, and our student branch has grown from a seedling to a tree owing to the persistent efforts put in by its student members and teachers. The members of IEEE-NIEC have been persistent in their efforts in developing the student oriented society, and have organized various events to accomplish its objectives.

30th Sep 09: Quarterly GINI meet at Jamia Milia University, Delhi
A team of 3 members visited Jamia Milia Islamia University on 30th September 2009 for the Quarterly GINI meet. The active participation by the team members helped in gaining more knowledge about GINI. Dignitaries from HQ and Delhi section attended the meet. GINI stands for Global Integrated Network of IEEE. R10 GINI was officially launched during the R10 Student Congress held in Madras in January 2008. R10 GINI started with one mentor Kerala section, which implemented LINK, a similar network in Kerala, and 5 pilot sections, Madras, Hyderabad, Delhi, New Zealand and Pakistan. The motto behind GINI is simple to enhance and encourage communication between student branches of a section initially, spreading this to the country and finally IEEE Region 10. This is achieved by bringing student branches to work together, by promoting effective inter communication between student branches, which will lead to increase in the IEEE activities, reactivation of sick student branches, formation of new branches, effective transfer of responsibilities among branch officers and making the IEEE membership more valuable to the student member.

20th Oct 09: Mirage-the virtual reality, Intra-college short movie competition
Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts - Anonymous Keeping in mind the importance of movies in todays world especially youth, the IEEE Student Branch at Northern India Engineering College, New Delhi conducted an intra-college short movie making competition MIRAGE: a virtual reality in the first week of October 2009. It was also the first event of its kind hosted by IEEE-NIEC in the college. The competition encouraged the students to direct and submit a short movie of 10 minutes on any topic of their choice. MIRAGE provided the students with a platform to showcase their talent; a stage where they were free to put forth their views and variety of philosophies. The competition motivated them to reflect whatever is happening in the world and what as a human being having variety of emotions and ever quizzing mind, think. Not only it tested their creativity but also it tickled their artistic n directorial genes. MIRAGE aimed to serve as a medium to provide an insight to what the students think and feel strongly about. It served as a ground where a simple story could touch many hearts, a chance to touch the nerve of something that is not bringing forth to avoid public wrath.. Something that is plaguing our minds and societies for years, something that needs to be answered. It reiterated the fact that movies can also act as catalyst if rightly depicted. The entries started from the 1st week of October09 and continued till 20th October 09. Students from all the branches and years participated enthusiastically. Total 6 movies were entered. MIRAGE acted as a breath of fresh air for students. As rightly said a movie is a spiritual and social X-ray of its time and the students justified this fact by showcasing their thoughts. They had myriad of ideas which they tried hard to express through their movies. The movie themes ranged from comedy to satirical and even tragic, but the essence of giving a message especially those concerning youth

and the society were omnipresent. Even though the duration was limited, still they succeeded to a great extent. The best movies were adjudged and awarded by the then-chairperson of IEEE-NIEC. The first prize was awarded to Rahul Malhotra and Rajat Sharma (EEE 2nd year) for the movie The Wrong Choice! a movie about what is wrong or right. Its about how our little decisions can make the difference of hell and heaven. How rules are same for good and evil, a thought-provoking movie. The second prize went to Sagar and group (2nd year) for the movie The Line a movie which tells us about how special is ones college in everybodys life. How every moment spent in the college becomes significant in our memories the day we leave it. It is about the line that separates the end of college life and beginning of new life when one gets a job. A funny yet heart touching movie. The event was enjoyed and liked by all. We were highly motivated and plan to conduct more of such events in the near future and will definitely prove to be an asset to IEEE.

31st Mar 10: R10 SAC website Contest OUR WEBSITE SECURED 6TH POSITION
The IEEE Region-10 website contest is a yearly opportunity for student branches in Asia Pacific to interact, compete and learn from one another. Motivation behind this Website Competition: Electronic communication among IEEE members has been one of the IEEE main concerns during the recent times. Student branches are visible to the world and are just one click away. It is very important for the IEEE student branches to communicate with their student members and other branches in an electronic way. Having a Student Branch Website is a good tool to achieve this goal. Our IEEE Student Branch Website ( developed by Hemant Tulsani ECE 08-12 ) was able to fetch 6th position having a tie with Dadi Institute of Engineering & Technology, Hyderabad for 67 points, only 9 points away from the first position bagged by DAIICT, Gujarat ( 76 points). However, considering the fact that it was the first time Our IEEE Branch has participated in Region-10 Website Contest, the performance is Remarkable. No Doubt, We will be participating in the same event for the upcoming years and try to improve our performance.
