CTFC 2019

Conference on “Technologies for Future Cities”

8th, 9th January, 2019, organized by Pillai College of Engineering (PCE)

Humanity expects more inflow to cities in near future. Technologies need to evolve to keep pace with the anticipated urbanization to support a sustained increase in standard of living. Needs are diverse, from simple basic to complex sophisticated desires. A collective solution demands merger of cutting edge technologies through collaborative engineering. The problems are bound to be multidisciplinary and the required approaches need to be interdisciplinary. This conference aims at providing a common platform for experts and novices to meet, present their work and exchange ideas on the diverse fields possibly aiding the subject cause in near future. The conference would consist of contributory papers and invited talks.

About Pillai College of Engineering

Pillai College of Engineering (Erstwhile Pillai Institute of Information Technology until April 2016), established in 1999 under the patronage of Dr. K. M. Vasudevan Pillai, has always sought to develop in its students a sound technical foundation while encouraging their natural curiosity and believes the true success of engineering in complementing theory with practice. The institute is affiliated to the University of Mumbai, approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi and is recognized by Government of Maharashtra and DTE, Maharashtra.

The institute strives to provide state of the art facilities conducive to effective teaching-learning, research and consultancy. It further takes every effort in inculcating in the minds of students the respect for the environment. PCE is approved Research Centre of Mumbai University, which offers PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering. Pillai College of Engineering has successfully undertaken and completed urbanization studies for UN office project on ‘Urban Expansion’ in collaboration with New York University and continues to provide consultancy in similar fields to Tata Consultancy Engineering (TCE) and CIDCO.

Workshops

8th January, 2019 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Parallel Sessions

Introduction to Remote Sensing & GIS

Data acquisition about an object without physical contact through satellite or drone based sensor technologies, has diverse application domains which involve surveying. Remote sensing data relies on its spatial, spectral, radiometric and temporal resolutions. GIS processes the data and aids in more precise and fact based decision making.

Workshop Contents:

1. Introduction to ArcGIS & remote sensing
2. Exposure to Open source application ‘QGiS’
3. Hands-on training followed by Case Studies

Machine Learning Using Python

Is a subset of artificial intelligence which advocates cognitive learning of the computing machine through data processing using statistical algorithms which aids in data driven predictions.

Workshop Contents:

1. What is Machine Learning
2. Introduction to pandas, numpy and matplotlib
3. Performance measures
4. Classification
5. Clustering
6. Regression
7. Application of Machine Learning
