Literature Survey and Technical Writing

One day workshop on "Literature Survey and Technical Writing"

As part of the Educational Activities of IEEE Bangalore Section, a one day workshop on Literature Survey and Technical Writing was conducted to the benefit of the final year students of EE, EC and CS depts at Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering, Mysore on 11-Aug-2018. 140+ students attended the workshop.

The workshop had multiple case-study based learning sessions on Literature Survey techniques, Design thinking, problem formulation and solution, technical writing and ethics of research. They learnt how to do a broad topic search and then narrow down the search to converge on the closest example.

As an example, they searched for capacitors and batteries for the broad search and narrowed down to fast charging capacitors with wide range current limiting. They showed how the search had applications in Electric Mobility to Flash chargers in cameras.
