Prof. Kaustuv Bhattacharya
Faculty Associate
The Uemk Acm student chapter have given me an opportunity to get involved in the various activities that are organised by our student chapter. It helped me a lot to nurture my tech skills and also guided me to develop efficient management skills.
Arunava Kundu
Secretary and Web-Head
ACM helped me quench my thirst for knowledge about topics in the domain of computer science. My horizons of thought have been pushed out using the vast resources of the ACM library which seems to have almost everything. Also, the events organised by UEMK ACM chapter have helped in expression, and I even got some cool swags.

ACM Distinguised Speaker Program by
Professor Brian Barsky
Dr Brian A. Barsky is Professor of the Graduate School at the University of California at Berkeley, USA where he is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Vision Science, and Affiliate Professor Emeritus of Optometry. He is also a member of the Joint Graduate Group in Bioengineering, an interdisciplinary and inter-campus program, between UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco and he is affiliated with the Berkeley Center for New Media, Berkeley Institute of Design, and Arts Research Center.
- The Boeing 737 MAX aircraft has been grounded worldwide after two fatal crashes with similar characteristics within five months of each other. Lion Air JT610 Crashed 13 minutes after takeoff from Jakarta on Tuesday 9 October 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines ET 302 crashed 6 minutes after takeoff from Addis Abba in Ethiopia on Sunday 10 March 2019. In both incidents, pilots could not control the aircraft shortly after takeoff, resulting in tragic crashes with no survivors.
- To mitigate this, Boeing created a computer software system called MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System) that takes over control of the airplane from the pilots and pushes the nose down, based on data input from a single sensor.
- The lecture will include first-hand information about the first of the two crashes from the speaker’s meeting in Jakarta with the head of the accident investigation committee there.
Ureckon Mini Hackathon Workshop
Ureckon Mini Hackathon Workshop is a 2-day long event where we will cover the fundamentals of App Development, Web Development to give you a headstart in Hackathons!
- You have probably heard the word hackathon before, and you might have asked yourself what it is. No, it has nothing to do with hacking passwords or breaking into the Pentagon. A hackathon is an event where people with technical backgrounds come together, form teams around an idea to collaborate on intensive Software Projects!
- At the end of the workshop, we hope you will have the necessary headstart to innovate and start participating in major Hackathon events.
