 Budding engineers of M S University’s Faculty of Technology and Engineering (FTE) are gearing up to host Footprints, a three-day national-level technical event on the campus from February 21.
This will will be the 20th consecutive year that FTE will be hosting the tech fest that has been segregated into various segments including ‘technotron’, ‘kaleidoscope’, workshops, ‘rolling square’ among others.

Technotron consists of various technical events pertaining to different engineering departments. It includes events such as Burnout – engine-based car racing; monochrome – an autonomous robot that can solve a given line network; ‘smackbotz’ – a remote controlled manoeuvrable machine — which will compete against each other in one on one combat and the tremors tower crane.

Other events include broken floats where participants have to weave fabric on a handloom, imprints in which participants have to print and dye on fabric and ‘hydro-bramah 10X’ where participants have to use hydraulic concepts and make hydraulic press.

“We also have non-technical event for participants such as ‘Quest’, a treasure hunt event and Footprints Stock Exchange which provides platform for the participants to enhance their stock broking skills,” said a student volunteer.

The festival will include kaleidoscope, a series of guest lectures, workshops and techzibitions. The guest lectures will be delivered by Mukesh Bhargava, vice president and member of board of L&T Defense, David Meltzer, CEO of Sports 1 Marketing, Sanjay Baru, policy analyst and economist and Saurabh Jain, vice president of Paytm.

Workshops will be held on humanoid robotics, flutter through which participants can create applications for all platforms among others.
