Title: “Smart Sensors and IoT for Electric Vehicles: A Hands-On Workshop”

Organized by: IEEE Sensors Council (Supported by WiSe – Women in Sensors)

Department: Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Date: 30th October 2025

Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Overview:

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering organized a one-day Hands-On Workshop on “Smart Sensors and IoT for Electric Vehicles”, supported by the IEEE Sensors Council and WiSe – Women in Sensors. The workshop aimed to provide students with practical exposure to smart sensor technologies and their integration with Internet of Things (IoT) applications in Electric Vehicles (EVs). The event focused on bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world implementation, promoting innovation among students in emerging EV technologies.

The workshop was exclusively conducted for II and III-year EEE students, with a total participation of 40 students and faculty members. The participants gained hands-on experience with sensors and IoT modules used in EV systems, enhancing their technical understanding and practical application skills.

The session began with an introductory talk by Dr. Sangeeta Singh, IEEE Sensors Council Women Member, who shared insights on IEEE membership benefits, funding opportunities, and student schemes under the Sensors Council. She also provided useful links and resources related to IEEE sensor activities.

The expert talk and practical sessions were conducted by Mr. Jagedeswaran from Enthu Technology India Pvt. Ltd., Coimbatore. He effectively guided participants through live demonstrations and practical exercises, providing in-depth knowledge of sensor operations and IoT integration for EV applications.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding various sensor types and their selection for EV subsystems.
• Learning interfacing techniques of sensors with microcontrollers for IoT applications.
• Implementing real-time monitoring and control using IoT platforms.

Outcome of the Workshop:

The workshop successfully enhanced students’ technical competence in configuring sensors and IoT devices for EV-related applications. It fostered experiential learning and promoted female participation in technology-driven fields, aligning with the mission of IEEE WiSe initiatives. The event provided a collaborative and inspiring platform for young engineers to explore, innovate, and contribute to advancements in smart mobility technologies.
