The Hands-on training on Solar Study Lamp Assembly is a part of the Gandhi Global Solar Yatra (GGSY), initiated by Prof. Chetan Singh Solanki, Department of Energy Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay. As a part of this yatra, a Students Solar Ambassador Workshop is organized on the 2nd October 2019, marking the 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Under this workshop, more than 1 Million Students will assemble their own solar study lamps across the globe and will pledge to Non-Violence towards Environment.‘Solar Study Lamp’ is a lighting device consisting of a solar PV module, battery, LED, and electronics. Battery, LED, and electronics are placed in a plastic housing.The look of the lamp is similar to a table lamp wherein the lamp base is connected to the LED via flexible gooseneck. The solar lamp uses 1 Watt LED as the light source and houses 3.2 Volt, 2000 mAh rechargeable Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery to store the power. A 2.5 Watt Solar Panel charges the lamp during daytime. The lamp is designed to provide 5-6 hours of study light every day throughout the year.This workshop is expected to be taking place at 10,000-15,000 locations. Till date, 101 countries have registered to be a part of this mega-global event. This course has been designed for Master Trainers. They will be able to understand climate change, energy sustainability and will learn to assemble a solar study lamp. The course also lays protocols for conducting the Students Solar Ambassador Workshop.A similar workshop was organized last year also, wherein over 1.32 lakh students participated in this mega-global event, of which 5,000 students came to IIT Bombay campus, which was also a Guinness World Record event.This course contains 11 modules and 26 sections. The module will contain reading materials, videos, and quizzes, etc. For the successful completion of the course and to receive the due certification, the pursuant should complete the quiz at the end of each module.Individuals cannot participate in this workshop any institute can participate and can register on our website <www.ggsy.in/collaborate>. If an individual wishes to participate as a Master Trainer, they need to approach the institution and make them register on our website.
Animation is an emerging medium of communication, especially in education and entertainment domains. More and more learners are aspiring to make a career in animation.

LaTeX, a document preparation system, is widely used for publishing in many scientific fields like mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, chemistry, physics, economics, linguistics, etc.. It is a powerful and open-source system that provides numerous facilities for automating typesetting of the document: i.e. structuring page layout, listing and auto-numbering of sections, tables, figures, generating a table of contents, managing cross-referencing, citing, and indexing. Unlike other WYSIWYG editors, the content is written in plain text along with appropriate commands, thus, allowing the user to concentrate on the content rather than the aesthetics (the way it looks). The TeX typesetting program which LaTeX uses, was designed such that anyone can create good quality material with less efforts. This course introduces the basic concepts of LaTeX. Participants taking this course will be able to create and design documents in LaTeX and presentations in Beamer with confidence.
We encounter signals and systems extensively in our day-to-day lives, from making a phone call, listening to a song, editing photos, manipulating audio files, using speech recognition softwares like Siri and Google now, to taking EEGs, ECGs and X-Ray images. Each of these involves gathering, storing, transmitting and processing information from the physical world. This course will equip you to deal with these tasks efficiently by learning the basic mathematical framework of signals and systems.This course is divided into two parts. In the first part (EE210.1x), we explored the various properties of signals and systems, characterization of Linear Shift Invariant Systems, convolution and Fourier Transform. Building on that, in this part (EE210.2x) we will deal with the Sampling theorem, Z-Transform, discrete Fourier transform and Laplace transform. The contents of the first part are prerequisites for doing this part. Ideas introduced in this course will be useful in understanding further electrical engineering courses which deal with control systems, communication systems, power systems, digital signal processing, statistical signal analysis and digital message transmission. The concepts taught in this course are also useful to students of other disciplines like mechanical, chemical, aerospace and other branches of engineering and science.
