IEEE PEC won the Darrel Chong Student Activity Award for the annual Hackathon that it organizes. This prestigious award acknowledges and honours those student branches which display consistency and innovation through their activities. This award is a symbol of the student membership growth at IEEE, PEC. The achievement clearly reflects the hard work and commitment of every member to take the society to newer heights.
IEEE PEC has been constantly working to improve the quality of student activities by taking various initiatives like Coderush, paper presentation session, etc. One such major initiative is Hackathon which aims at not only improving the coding skills of the students but also introducing them to the area of developmental programming (app, website, etc). Its major intent is to provide a platform to the budding developers to design and develop technological solutions for a specific problem statement and eventually hone their problem solving skills.
This time IEEE PEC has decided to take it to new heights by conducting its prelims in other colleges as well. Through this IEEE PEC will be able to indulge even more number of students and make this event bigger than ever. Also there will be an online prelim on 4th October 2016 and its finals will be held on 8th October 2016 within the college premises during PECfest.
