B.M.S College of Engineering , Bangalore DISTRICT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 2019 GAMES AT SAIT- CALGARY By Dr.Veena N. Hegde, B.M.S College of Engineering , Bangalore Jan 12-13 , 2019 ATTIDE-BOUTIQUE, Bangalore

SAIT GAMES The “International Student Games ” is an annual collaborative international competition between students from schools across Canada, the United States, South America, South East Asia. ISA – SAIT, graduating students in the Instrumentation Engineering Technology (IET) Program at SAIT.

SAIT GAMES Mixed teams will compete in a series of instrumentation/automation tasks, which may include: DCS programming scenarios, online flow measurement, valve/positioner assembly/calibration, process load, response, and instrumentation calibration and measurement. Visiting students are separated and placed on teams where all team members are not of their own college/university, to thoroughly promote soft skills within these newly minted, technically trained teams, emulating the true work force environment. A second year, SAIT IIET student is added to each team of visitors, to take away “home ice advantage”. This also promotes the larger networking aspect and opportunities that an institute versus institute modeled games unintentionally discriminates against.

STUDENT GAMES 2017 AT SAIT Date:16-19, March ,2017 Venue: Southern Alberta Institute Tech. (SAIT), Calgary, Canada Visiting team: Brijesh Gupta CR, IV year E&I, B.M.S College of Engg Viraj Puntambekar, II year E&I, V.I.T Vellore Dr.Veena N.Hegde, ISA-BMSCE Faculty Advisor and Student Liaison, ISA-B.

CONDUCTION OF EVENT The first task was based on DCS programming scenarios Students had to design a control system for a water tank. Students were introduced to Modbus, a software based on MODBUS protocol

CONDUCTION OF EVENT The second task was a Loop tuning task. The MacGyver task was the third one. Students had to build a rectifier circuit to convert ac to dc and also bend the tubing to allow the fluid to flow into the valve.

CONDUCTION OF EVENT The last task was Field device troubleshooting in which students were taken to a lab filled with lots of meters, valves and devices. Some of them had different types of errors introduced into them. Our job was to correct these errors and make sure that everything worked perfectly.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE The opportunities like this make the individual participants more confident and their experience shared, give others to look up for such or better challenges. Though the infrastructure across countries varies to a large extent based on the employment demand and trends, participation in events like this makes the young graduates to face any challenges and mould them as responsible citizens of the country.

ROAD TO SAIT-GAMES 2019 The games are scheduled to take place in the premises of Sothern Alberta Institute of Technology, SAIT, Calgary , Canada from March 13th to March 16th 2019. This event is among the largest student-organized games in the world. ISA Bangalore section has been supporting/ facilitating student members participation since 2016. The selection of the interested ISA student members to participate in the event is through an online test, conducted by ISA Bangalore in association with D14.
