Tech-Connect is the annual technical exhibition held at IIT Bombay to showcase projects done by IIT-Bombay’s students and faculty. It aims to highlight the diverse contributions of IIT Bombay in the fields of operations research, healthcare, energy, defe
nce, wireless communication, information technology and material sciences. Tech-Connect offers a platform for knowledge-exchange between the industry and the academia which helps in attaining sustainable progress. This was Tech-Connect’s third running year when it was organized during Techfest-2012 (6th - 8th Jan.) in collaboration with IRCC, IIT-Bombay.
This was the second consecutive year of participation in Techconnect by the department. IEOR students presented the projects they were working on, based on the problems in different fields of engineering. The projects demonstrated a wide variety of applications of Operations Research.
Students also designed various posters which displayed the glimpse and the flavour of the work that is being done in the Department.
Some of the posters are :
- Application of Operations Research in Finance Sector.
- Crane Scheduling problem
- Inventory control models with Markovian demand.
- Softwares used in modelling OR problems.
Some of the projects that were presented by the students:-
- Application of Operation Research in Electrical Design
- Some interesting applications of Game Theory
- Modeling of Urban Carsharing System
- Simulation of Hospital, Telephone Exchange
- Optimal Discount Policy for Airline Ticketing
- Simulation of Pizza Delivery, Manufufacturing Line.
- Vehicle routing problem
Same as previous experience this year also IEOR stall drew huge crowd of visitors enthusiastic in areas of Analytics, Quality Management, Supply Chain Management, Operations Reseach, Routing etc. Most of the visitors showed great enthusiasm and interest to know about the various techniques, algorithms and heuristics being used to solve real-life Industrial Engineering and Operations Research problems.
We would like to thank the faculty and all the students of IEOR for their useful inputs and active participation the event.
