Medical technology has grown to grant people lives almost twice as much as a mere century ago. Yet, despite the boost in health care technology, we cannot protect ourselves from everything indefinitely. It has matured and will continue to, our minds being the catalyst. Despite a surge over the last few decades, we still face a multitude of challenges in the field of medicine. this theme can include topics like intelligent monitoring systems, controlling the spread of epidemics, assistance to disabled and old-age people, biomedical research, solutions for prevention and cure of diseases like cancer and tuberculosis by early- stage detection, and affordable medical services for everyone.

1.Waste Management: With increasing populations, new sustainability and recycling goals and improved technology departments, consumers are becoming conscious to become more efficient in managing solid waste. The improvement of the waste collection service and, in general, the achievement of more efficient management of waste is one of the main challenges that we face, especially due to the population growth. Thus, smart waste management is a key factor in today’s world.

2.Renewable Technologies: Future energy needs in both urban and rural areas can be largely met by renewable energy sources. Given the rising knowledge of the negative environmental effects of fossil-based generating, the development and use of renewable energy should be prioritised. Globally, the demand for the creation of renewable energy is rising quickly. The sustainability of the energy sectors in developed and developing nations alike depends on the widespread usage of renewable energy. Building energy performance is being improved, and environmental consequences are being minimised, in large part due to renewable energy technologies.

“The march of technology expands the space of possibility around us, but how we explore that space is up to us.” Innovative technologies are incorporated into space manufacturing to enhance space services and products. The space industry is advancing with the introduction of robotics, 3D printing, and light-based manufacturing. Due to improvements in manufacturing techniques, large space constructions, reusable launch vehicles, space shuttles, and satellite sensors are now a reality.

“This competition is to encourage young minds and innovations. I came up with the project titled "Conversion of Waste Heat into Electricity using Thermoelectric Arrangement ". The idea of this project is to increase the efficiency of Electrical motors which has a lot of applications both on industrial and agricultural platforms. At Ingenium, I got an opportunity to showcase and discuss my project with the engineers from CATERPILLAR. I came to know the scope of the project and the further developments to be done. Pragyan helped me a lot to mingle with young minds from different colleges. Finally, I am very thankful to the organisers of INGENIUM for their patience. Hope Ingenium continues with a blooming response.”

“Our project name is “Smart helmet”. Nowadays, the numbers of road accidents are rapidly increasing and around 60% of the accidents result in death. Although police made wearing helmet compulsory, people ignored these rules in areas where police checks were not made. So in our project, we tried to solve these difficulties by making the vehicle check for the helmet in riders’ head and ensure that the rider is not drunk automatically, only if these conditions are true, the bike will start. Also, in case of an accident, we will be sensing that using vibration sensors and the system will automatically send a message to preloaded mobile numbers with GPS location of the accident and vehicle number. This can provide instant help to them. By participating in Ingenium of Pragyan ’18, we got an opportunity to explain our project to different types of people and we got few suggestions that can make our project better. We are happy to be a part of Pragyan and winning in one of the best colleges in Tamil Nadu. It has increased our level of confidence and helped us to proceed further. Thank you so much.”

“Our project was on the topic "Smart Guide". We chose this project to help the visually challenged person all around the world by guiding them during their walk. As a team with full cooperation from everyone, we worked on this project. The project was mentored by the faculty members of our institution. Ingenium and Pragyan helped us exhibit our project and to showcase our skills to everyone. Winning prize in Ingenium brought laurels to the project and to the institution. Ingenium and Pragyan helped to prove our self by challenging in the National Level Project Expo.”
