The industrial visit to the Air Circuit Breakers manufacturing unit of L&T, Powai organised on October 13, 2012 proved to be a wonderful learning experience as it helped students to gain a better insight into the practical aspects of IE&OR.

The visit became even better learning experience with the enthusiasm and active participation of students who flooded the engineers at L&T with very good questions on how industrial operations work, the production and planning issues faced by them and so on.

IEOR faculty and students attended 4th IBM Collaborative Academia Research Exchange (I-CARE 2012) organised at IBM-IRL Bangalore and IISc Bangalore on Oct 18-20, 2012. 

Vikas Vikram Singh, Alok Patel, Manu Gupta and Anu Thomas attended the winter school on Analytics & Optimization and I-CARE 2012.

The two Sports events organized by IEORA for the freshers on the 25th of July and 22nd September saw a good turnout. The juniors benefited from the experiences  of seniors as they played every game together. Not one minute was wasted as the freshers eagerly learnt new games and practised the ones they were good at. Some of them showed real promise and were eager to represent IEOR in the PG Sports Matches. Hope we see some medals soon..
