IEEE Xtreme:

IEEE Xtreme is a 24-hour code-a-thon conducted globally by IEEE annually for its members. With complex puzzles and mind-boggling cases, it isn’t your average run-of-the-mill hackathon. This gruelling event is conducted globally with more than 10,000 teams vying for the top spot. The 2020 edition was hosted on the 24th October with 95 participants in 48 teams representing BMSCE. The top three performers are given Xtreme t-shirts and certificates from IEEE Bangalore section. The winners of the code-a-thon at the global level are awarded a free trip to an IEEE conference of their choice anywhere in the world.

With food and snacks throughout and breaks in between, we make sure that the coders aren’t overburdened due to the heavy workload that the code-a-thon brings onto them, making it an “Xtremely” enjoyable experience. The best part is that it comes with an opportunity to interact and learn from seniors and juniors alike.

IEEE Day:

BMSCE IEEE, in association with the various college student clubs, hosts IEEE Day every year over one entire day. It is a day packed with exciting events presented by every other student club and a main event by the student branch itself.

Some of the many popular events that have been conducted over the past few years are: Open mic events at C-Bench that gathers a huge crowd every single year and is a place to showcase your talent. Vocalists, musicians and stand-up comics are only some of the many talents that are unearthed here.

BMSCE IEEE hosts its flagship event, Science of Deduction; a murder mystery with multiple twists and turns where the participants indulge in deciphering various codes and analogies.

Pentagram, the maths society hosts events ranging from crossword competitions to mysterious and thoroughly entertaining riddles and puzzles. Respawn, the Gaming Club of BMSCE, hosts gaming tournaments and competitions to entertain the gaming enthusiasts in the campus.The BMSCE Quiz Club, on occasion of IEEE day, hosts a General Quiz every year highlighting men and women in technology. The Student Club of Information Science and Computer Science departments conduct code-a-thons to churn the minds of the enthusiastic and competitive coders on campus. The Computer Science and Information Science Department’s Student Clubs conduct code-a-thons to churn the minds of the enthusiastic and competitive coders on campus. Inksanity, our literary club organizes creative writing competitions and other rich and highly addictive speeches and workshops. The photography club of BMSCE covers the ongoing festivities and events within the campus. A day filled with fun and entertaining events is wrapped up with various exhilarating performances by our music, theatre and drama clubs to the immense appreciation of everyone present.

Summer Program:

For the benefit of the students at BMSCE, BMSCE IEEE has regularly organized Summer Internship Programs. These programs are usually held after the conclusion of the even semesters and are inclusive of hands-on workshops and seminars conducted by experienced resource persons from reputed industries. These programs provide the students with an opportunity to hone their technical skills and gain industrial exposure and experience. The certificates provided at the end of the programs help enhance the individual's resume.

In the past years, BMSCE IEEE has collaborated with leading industries like Google and Microsoft, and have brought out several successful Summer Internship Programs.

IEEE SIGs

The Special Interest Groups are one of the facets of BMSCE IEEE that makes it so popular amongst both students and teachers. With more than 300 concurrent students every year they are some of the most sought after student-organized and conducted “classes”. A combination of SIGs on topics such as AVR, Machine learning, Python, Photoshop, Aerodynamics in Automobiles and Web Development are held with the aim to encompass all technical fields and forays. Psychology and Public Speaking are some of the SIGs conducted to give students an opportunity to improve their non- technical skills as well.

With 8-10 Sessions per semester for each SIG, the students are sure to learn their respective subjects in depth. At the end of the course the students are given a test to gauge their understanding of the subject and certificates given to all students who pass the tests. The SIGs serve as a platform for growth and is something that’s surely going to be on a student’s resume whether a student or a teacher.
