The Power and Energy Society of IEEE SB OU has successfully organized an engaging and competitive event named “ELECTROQUEST” for EEE and ECE 2nd-year students. The event aimed to enhance the
participants’ knowledge in electrical and electronics concepts, improve their problem-solving skills, and encourage quick thinking under pressure. It consisted of three rounds:
Written Test (MCQ): The first round was a written test featuring multiple-choice questions designed to assess the participants’ fundamental understanding of various electrical engineering concepts. Topics included circuit theory, electrical machines, digital electronics, and power systems, C language, analog electronic. The test consisted of 20 questions with a time limit of 20 minutes. Students showed great enthusiasm and the round was highly competitive. The top scorers from this round advanced to the next round.
Circuit Solving: The second round involved circuit-solving challenge. Participants were given a circuit and required components like LED, transistor, resistors, breadboards etc. which was to be to solved within a stipulated time frame. This round tested their practical understanding of circuit design, analysis, and troubleshooting skills. The teams that solved the circuits correctly in the shortest time were selected for the final round.
Rapid Fire: The final round was a rapid-fire session where participants were asked quick, thought-provoking questions through slides with a time limit of 20 seconds for each question, related to electrical and electronics concepts, recent technological developments, and practical applications. This round tested the students’ ability to think on their feet and respond accurately and quickly under pressure. The questions covered a wide range of topics, and the participants were judged based on the number of correct answers given within the time limit.
Conclusion: Overall, the event achieved its objective of fostering a deeper understanding about
engineering among the 2nd-year students and promoting a spirit of healthy competition. The organizers
received positive feedback from the participants, and there is a strong demand for similar events in the
future.
