Efest Enchants Emerging Entrepreneurs
25th March ‘13
Naina AKA Shreya
After about 2 years the Entrepreneurship Cell-‘Empressario’ was back into action with its annual ‘E-Fest’ conducted over the weekend. This year, the fest was open to technical and non technical colleges all over Pune. The E-Fest has always satisfied the creative and entrepreneurial appetite of students since its inception. Under its umbrella 2 new events were launched-Bid Master and Quizonomics . Quizonomics was nothing close to a normal quiz. The concept of risk taking, winning and losing the money-they had it all. The teams had their highs and lows but enjoyed the overall experience. Bid-Master proved to be a huge crowd puller with amazing response from the hostel students. Planning, strategy and impulsive decision making had the viewers and the participants’ adrenaline pumping. Another event which is the most favourite among budding entrepreneurs –‘Business Baazigar’ saw some innovative ideas on the block. The effort put in by all the teams was commendable. ”Even though we didn’t win the competition, we felt like real entrepreneurs today . And the best part is, we get to keep our profits!” said Aditya a First Year participant.
ICICI Trinity
ICICI Trinity is an initiative by the ICICI Bank-one of the leading banks in India, that promotes and furthers the cause of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst the youth community of India. A programme regarding the same was organised at the Mini Auditorium of our college on the 21st of March ’13. From amongst 30 top engineering institutes listed on specific criterions, ten were selected by ICICI including COEP, VJTI, IIITH, IITD, DTU, PEC etc.
The programme provides a unique opportunity to the students to become entrepreneurs at bank’s cost with zero investment. It consists of three stages- Ideate, Prototype and Be an Entrepreneur. It seeks to identify ideas, evaluate, groom, nurture and help the ideas turn into successful ventures. Also, the programme provides opportunity to meet, interact and learn from industry veterans which in itself is a rewarding and enriching experience.
Undeniably, it was not only fortunate for COEP to get listed midst the other topmost colleges in India but a one-of-its-kind chance for the COEPians to get such a platform to become budding entrepreneurs at such a preliminary stage.

माइंड स्पार्क”ड
एक स्पार्क जो मानवी मनाला संसारिक जगात तग धरायला शिकवतो . चार चौकटींच्या बाहेरचे जग पाहायला नावून उमेद देतो. नवीन आचार विचार घेवून वर उचलतो. आणि एका नव्या आयुष्याकडे घेऊन जातो. मानवी काल्पेनेची क्षितिजे उघडतो. तो स्पार्क आहे माइंड स्पार्क . गेल्या आठवड्यात ५, ६
आणि ७ ऑक्टोबर ला शहरातील प्रथितयश आणि इतिहासाची साक्ष देणाऱ्या अभियांत्रिकी महाविद्यालयाने (COEP) या तांत्रिक सोहळ्याचे आयोजन केले होते.
५० हून अधिक इवेन्ट्स ने सीओईपी चा माहोल गजबजून गेला होता. त्यात हजारो विद्यार्थ्यांनी भाग घेतला . यात महाराष्ट्र तसेच महाराष्ट्राबाहेरील विद्यार्थ्यांचा समावेश होता. रोबोवार्स , डॉग फाईट,
व्हीलोमोशन यांनी नेहमीप्रमाणेच गर्दी खेचून आणली. राईट टर्न ने सुद्धा प्रेक्षकांना ओढून आणले. पुणे २ आणि अमेझिंग रेस ह्या दोन आगळ्या वेगळ्या स्पर्धांना उत्स्फूर्त प्रतिसाद मिळाला. फ्लाश मध्ये मुलांनी आपली फोटोग्राफी दाखवून दिली. तसेच इतर बर्याच स्पर्धांत विद्यार्थ्यांचे तांत्रिक कौशल्य तपासण्यात आले. Brainiac मधील प्रशानामान्जुशांनी रोज विद्यार्थ्यांना विचार करायला लावला.
माइंड स्पार्क चे अजून एक वैशिष्ट्य म्हणजे फक्त आहे ते तपासण्या ऐवजी त्यात सुधारणा करण्याचा प्रयत्न होय. या सोहळ्यात महाविद्यालयाच्या विविध मंडळांनी विद्यार्थाय्साठी कार्यशाळांचे आयोजन केले होते , HAM मंडळाने रेडीओ संदेशवहन शिकवले. ASTRONOMY मंडळाने आकाशातील ताऱ्यांची ओळख करून दिली. तसेच विविध तंत्रज्ञान शिकवणारे linux वरील TUX हि कार्यशाळा देखील होती. प्रत्येक कार्यशाळेत विद्यार्थ्यांना मोफत माहिती साधने देण्यात आली. ह्या सर्व कार्यशाळा ह्या कोणासाठीही मोफत होत्या.
यंदाचा माइंड स्पार्क “उत्क्रांती ” या संकल्पनेवर आधारित होता. मानवी उत्क्रांती दाखवणारे विविध मोडेल्स तयार करण्यात आले होते. संपूर्ण सोहळ्यात महाविद्यालयाला जत्रेचे स्वरूप आले होते. महाविद्यालयाची मुख्य इमारत सजावटीने अजूनच खुलून दिसत होती. त्यात कला मंडळातर्फे दाखवण्यात आलेल्या चित्रकला प्रदर्शनाने भर घातली . महाविद्यालयातील विद्यार्थ्यांनी आपली कला या तीन दिवसांत सगळ्यांना दाखवून दिली. तसेच साहित्य मंडळातर्फे पुस्तक प्रदर्शन आणि विक्री यांचे आयोजन केले होते. विविध प्रकारची मराठी पुस्तके इथे उपलब्ध होती. विद्यार्थ्यांनी भरपूर पुस्तकांची खरेदी करून धाखावून दिले कि तांत्रिक ज्ञानाबरोबरच साहित्याची आवडही आम्हास आहे.
महाविद्यालय येत्या १ नोव्हेंबरला तिसरा जागतिक विक्रम प्रस्थापित करणार आहे- सर्वांत जास्त जणांनी एकत्र येऊन रुबिक्स क्यूब सोडवण्याचा. याच धर्तीवर विद्यार्थ्यांनी स्टीव जॉब्स यांची प्रतिमा २१६ रुबिक्स क्यूब वापरून बनवली तसेच मानवी उत्क्रांती दाखवणारे चित्रही तयार केले.
याबरोबरच विद्यार्थ्यांसाठी रोज व्याख्याने आणि सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रमाचे आयोजन केले होते. पहिल्या दिवशी मुंबईच्या डब्बा वाल्यांनी आपले यश सांगून सगळ्या विद्यार्थ्यांना चकित केले. काम करण्याची जिद्द आणि नियमितपणा यातून काय होऊ शकते याच हे उत्तम उदाहरण .यानंतर लगेचच नीलाद्री कुमार आणि विजय घाटे यांची LIVE IN CONCERT झाली. या दोघाची चांगली सुरेल जुगलबंदी जमली. दुसऱ्या दिवशी दुपारी युनिक अकादमी चे तुकाराम जाधव यांनी UPSC वर वाक्यान दिले. सायंकाळी श्री. आर . राजहंस यांचे व्याख्यान झाले आणि त्यापाठोपाठ सुमारे ५ बक्षिसे खेचून आणत पुरुषोत्तम गाजवलेल्या ” रंग माझा वेगळा ” नाटक रंगले . शेवटच्या दिवशी अंकित वेंगुर्लेकर यांनी TECH TALK यावर विद्यार्थ्यांना मार्गदर्शन केले.
ज्या चम्पिअनशीप चषकावर सर्वांची नजर होती , त्यावर यावर्षी वालचंद कॉलेज ऑफ इन्जिनिअरिन्ग , सांगलीने आपले नाव कोरले. तर बाबासाहेब आंबेडकर टेक्नोलॉजिकल युनिवर्सिटीने “सर्वात उत्साही महाविद्यालया”चा किताब मिळवला.
बक्षीस वितरण समारंभात विजयी विद्यार्थ्यांना गौरवण्यात आले. बक्शिसामध्ये ट्रॉफी, प्रमाणपत्र आणि रोख रक्कम यांचा समावेश होता. सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रमाने सोहळ्याची सांगता झाली . दरवर्षीपेक्षा यंदाचा माइंड स्पार्क खूप गर्दीचा आणि यशस्वी ठरला.
“आम्ही या सोहळ्याकडे शैक्षणिक देवाणघेवाणीचे मध्यम म्हणून पाहतोय ” अशी प्रतिक्रिया माइंड स्पार्क चे सल्लागार डॉ. आगाशे यांनी दिली .तर “ माइंड स्पार्क विद्यार्थी आणि इंडस्ट्री यान्ति अंतर कमी करेल ” अशी ग्वाही दिली. अश्या प्रकारे ज्ञान आणि मनोरंजन यांची सांगड घालत यंदाचा माइंड स्पार्क जबरदस्तच ठरला.

Engineering Innovations
Edited from The Times of India , 17th September ’12
Orignal Reporter : Kanchan Gogate (ToI)
Engineer’s Day- September 15 – is a mark of respect to Late Sir M Visvesvaraya , an alumnus of College of Engineering, Pune , Asia’s 3rd oldest Institute . On this occasion, Dr. Anil Sahasrabuddhe, COEP Director professes the need for having engineers with sound basics, as technology is becoming an integral part of modern life .
Taking engineering beyond profession and turning it into an outlook , Bharat Ratna Visvesvaraya , Divan of Mysore , was an internationally recognized figure . He had a lion’s share in harnessing water resources and designing and constructing dams , bridges and irrigation systems across the country . The country needs more engineers like Visvesvaraya , agrees Dr. Anil Saharabuddhe .As seats in many engineering colleges remain vacant , he believes a rational estimate of the requirement is needed .
“After independence, there were a handful of government Engineering Colleges. Increasing requirement gave rise to more colleges. With private colleges making inroads, supply became more than demand. The exponential growth has reached a saturation point. All we need is right evaluation”
However, he underlines the fact that engineers are still required. “Not that demand for engineers has dipped. Modern life revolves around technology, an application of engineering. Earlier mechanical, electrical and civil were considered core disciplines. Today Electronics, IT and Biotechnology have developed. Engineers with higher skill sets are needed. Not many seem to taking metallurgy today but it is an important discipline today.”
About the current scenario, he opines there’s an immense scope to increase employability of engineers if along with engineering education certain soft skills are also imparted.
Astronomy Club Inauguration
