Message from the Director’s Desk Nurturing creativity and inspiring innovation are two of the key elements of success- ful education and a college magazine is the perfect amalgamation of both. It harness- es the creative energies of the academic community, and distills the essence of their inspired imagination in the most brilliant way possible. Hence, I am delighted to know that CSI-SFIT Committee is coming out with the first edition of CSI Annual Magazine. The IT enabled economy is growing and hence there is need to integrate core educa- tion with thorough knowledge of latest innovations. The 21st century needs ideas, innovations, creative solutions and fresh perspectives to survive and thrive in the emerging economy. Technology is evolving at a dizzying rate and our university curriculum may not be designed to keep pace with it. St. Francis Institute of Technology provides an oppor- tunity, a platform for every student of SFIT for learning new technologies that will enhance the quality of budding engineers. I am pleased to note that CSI-SFIT student branch has provided a great platform to its members and interested learners to be introduced to the current technological ideas by conducting various events through- out the year. I take this opportunity to congratulate the faculty coordinators and CSI-SFIT student committee members for bringing out this magazine as first innovation, which in itself is an achievement considering the effort and time required. May all our students soar high in uncharted skies and bring glory to the world and their profession with the wings of education! God bless you all. Bro.Jose Thuruthiyil 1 (Director SFIT)

Then he proceeded with various operations on that table like re- moving a particular entry, changing the value of the entry, creating a new entry, etc. and he gave a task to them to explore more in it. He also explained thorough- ly how the MySQL queries worked as majority of the students had not learned DBMS yet. He further went on explaining how the MySQL queries integrated with PHP to display their output on the webpage. Later, to apply the concepts of PHP, he gave students to code a webpage of a To-Do list, where one adds in events (an activity which the user wants to enter in the list) or deletes it to replace it with another version of it. The To-Do list application was a great use case for the students to test their skills related to CRUD (Create, Replace, Update, and Delete). The user can even strike it off in case they are done with the activi- ty. He then explained the concepts of Web Server Management to the students. Winding it up, the students were given a task to make changes in the code provided by him and then promised a goodie for the student/group which would make the best changes to the code to make it more functional. He also gave away Alexa and Google goodies by holding a small Q&A session for the students. The students were then briefed about the web development competition which was planned along with the workshop.

Journey Of The Technoglobe Being an individual living in 2018, we might once give a thought about the scenario currently existing around us. It definitely means a lot, when you are substantially over a land of infinite possibilities. Humans are being receptive about the objects surrounding them in every aspect. One such facet that we all can correlate to, can be termed as science and technology. Every minute passing by, we are entering to the future. But is the future nearing to that imaginations that man once could only dream about? Giving a look at the situation currently, we can say that we are slowly getting close to it. In what way is that happening, could be easily justified if you give a glance to the environment where you are living. Streets to Houses are now getting smarter with a simple but powerful integration of artificial intelligence that is letting you to differen- tiate between the boundary of what real or virtual technically is. Product designs has been evolving from being bulky like a rock to as slim as a feather. Design languages have received comprehensive improvements. It can be interpreted as tech giants imagined the endless prospects in the industries and consumers have become a unified part of it. This generation has witnessed some mind wobbling events like Tesla launching its SpaceX, which one can simply call as a “crazy stuff” but it is that belief of creativity that still leads man to exist on this vast and resourceful planet. The increasing addiction to the virtual reality encompassing simple gadgets like mo- biles to “the next big thing:HYPERLOOP” has been now directly linked to the release of the feel-good neurotransmitter dopamine. 37
This clearly sweeps us to a generation dominated not by their hearts but their brains. In this bargain, the poor garb of emotions is almost torn apart to expose naked truths of harsh reality. It’s now up to education to take upon the task of wrapping the platter of scientific developments with surreal necessities so that nature and mankind do not become a vestigial slice of history.

Lucid Dreaming Goggles Our project aims to make lucid dreaming goggles. A lucid dream is a dream during which the dreamer is aware of dreaming. During lucid dreaming the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over the dream characters narrative and en- vironment. Using electroencephalography (EEG) and other polysomnographic mea- surements LaBerge and other have shown that lucid dreaming begin in the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep. Lucid dreams naturally occur to a very minute part of Earth’s population. Our project is aimed to induce lucid dreams to any person. Our project consists of three main components they are: 1) An EEG circuit 2) The Arduino board + LEDs 3) The headset The Arduino board and EEG circuit are connected together on the headset. Two LED’s are connected through the Arduino board and placed above the user’s eye. The EEG and Arduino reads for specific brainwave known as Delta waves which is associated with REM sleep .The minimum threshold base percentage is set. When the Delta brain waves is above threshold the LED is a blink above the sleeping us- ers eye. We expect our project to yield the following results: 1. Successful induction of a lucid dream 2. Comfortable experience for the wearer. Our project will be able to increase the percentage of people who are able to lucid dream successfully; this will drive The Dreamers to use these dreams creatively to expand their skills at even when they are asleep. 39
Above bar chart depicts the levels of insights control thought extra in a normal dream and lucid dream. This shows that lucid dreams of the dreamer more insight dream control and memory retention and booze positive emotions of the Dreamers. Discussion and Future Scope: Lucid dreaming has lots of benefits to the dreamer lucid dreaming creates limitless freedom and escapism. It reveals the real power of your brain and is a direct line for communication with the unconscious mind. Lucid dreaming is a physical training ground for waking life and unleashes one’s creative potential. Lucid dreaming creates a natural Adrenaline Rush.

Food Divert Hunger is a serious problem in India. About 15.2% of the total population in India is undernourished. About 30.7% of children under age of 5 are underweight and 3000 children die every day due to poor diet related issues. Food wasted each day at events in Mumbai alone would be enough to feed the city’s vast slum population. Also, many foodservice organization choose to discard surplus wholesome food at the end of the day if it remains unsold which could be donated. Our mobile application named Food Divert funnels food from places where it is pro- duced in abundance and places where people don’t get minimum required food. It provides a way to donate leftover food to the needy. The donor posts an advertisement of the food item and details like location, quantity, time it was cooked at, time before it expires, picture etc. The receiver gets to see these advertisements based on his location and preference of food item. Donor can also directly contact nearest food bank for food donation. The receiver can contact the donor if he wishes to get more details of the food item and confirm that he wishes to take leftover food. The advertisement posted by the donor will be taken off on expiry of food item. The application also provides options to hire a transport service for delivery of food. To make an order the receiving side must be an institution like orphanage, old age home, NGOs or other similar organization with proper license number. Donations can be made by hotels which host social gathering and catering service providers. The donating organization receives economic benefits through tax saving. Both the donat- ing and receiving side must be registered in the application before making any trans- action. By making this application available to more number of organizations, goal of greater efficiency and less wastage can be achieved in our country and worldwide.

Pointer Analysis System Students attaining higher schooling in specialized courses are often unaware of grad- ing systems that are followed and hence they are unable to extemporize on their study plan and fail to accomplish better scores. There felt a need to develop a system that can estimate a range of scores for internal assessment tests (IATs) and end semester examinations (ESEs) for students so that they can prepare accordingly for IATs and ESEs and attain their desired pointer in a semester. There are several educational systems trying to predict students’ grades or scores, but they face certain limitations like accuracy, response time, and error handling. This work aims to overcome the above mentioned limitations by developing a state-of-the-art estimation system that calculates semester grade point average by considering students’ IAT marks as input and forecasts minimum and maximum marks that need to be scored in ESEs based on a selected pointer. Moreover, the system is capable of specifying ways to achieve the desired pointer without the inclusion of IAT marks. The developed system will undeniably be beneficial for both students and educational institutions wherein a student can beforehand calculate his/her academic performance and institutions can timely and precisely monitor students’ growth leading to future betterment. Project Description 1. First, we created a login or signup page that authenticates a student when he/ she enters his/her credentials, which are stored in a database. 2. Second, once a student has logged in, there is an option for him/her to view and download syllabus by providing inputs such as branch, year, and semester. By doing this, a student is aware about the syllabus for a specific semester that he/she is interested in. 3. Next, the student needs to enter his/her IAT marks by selecting a preferred pointer on a scale of 4–10. Consequently, the system generates a range of estimated marks for every subject that a user needs to score in a semester to obtain a preferred pointer. 4. By entering existing IAT marks that a student has obtained, he/she can obtain trustworthy assessment. Moreover, the proposed system affords suppleness to view marks that are needed to score for diverse pointers irrespective of entering IAT marks. 5. We also collected data of 5th semester computer branch-2017 students and also the pointer scored in their respective subject 6. From this information we analyzed their end semester marks (ESM). This helped 42

Virtual Reality “We learn what we see and understand when we experience.” India is a developing country. One of the main factors leading to this de- velopment is educating as many souls as possible. We as students feel that the education system is focused more on lectures and theoretical knowledge and less of practical and application based factors. “Example is better than precept.” We want to create something that would help students understand things more clearly and get a feel of the actual concept. For eg. While learning about the architecture of Taj Mahal, we would understand the details better if we are actually able to see it or get a feel of it. Hence we wanted to take up “Virtual Reality” as it creates a better un- derstanding and gives a clearer picture of things.Apart from educa- tion, Virtual reality can create an architectural environment of college, schools,offices etc. due to which you can get an actual understanding of the infrastructure. Hence it can be efficiently be utilised in advertising big institutions and campuses as well. To start up on a smaller scale we tried simulating our college assembly hall using Blender software which is an open tool for creating and ren- dering virtual environment along with VR Headset.In real times, archi- tectures of hotels, monuments, buildings, offices and many more can be simulated efficiently at low cost which can provide a better view.

SFIT App 45% of the paper printed in offices ends up trashed by the end of the day – this daily lifespan occurs for over a trillion sheets of paper per year, worldwide (The Paperless Project)[1] and there are currently billions of dollars in cash unaccounted for, is cur- rently circulating around the globe - two huge problems the world is currently facing. Our project aimed to convert an organization into a paperless organization by intro- ducing paperless money and digital documents into the current office routine.We aim to tailor the solution of aforementioned problem to every kind of organization, starting with SFIT. We approached this problem by developing a mobile application based on the cloud onto which a profile for every SFIT student would be made, wherein the profile would hold all the necessary information about the student collected throughout the years of the student at SFIT. Another section of the profile was a mobile wallet for the stu- dent which the student can use to perform transactions at locations in SFIT such as the Canteen, Xerox centre, etc. The communication between the server and the mobile application along with the data on the server was encrypted, thereby ensuring data security to the users. If this mobile application is implemented at SFIT, we expected the transactions oc- curring at SFIT to be hassle free as all transactions would be stored on a server, thereby providing fraud protection. We also expect the amount of paper used at SFIT to be significantly lower than the current amount.The implications of the mobile ap- plication could be revolutionary as this application would have a two pronged effect – provide transparency to transactions, and reduce a significant amount of paper used, thereby helping the environment. 45

Bus Tracking System Our project based on the use of GPS of the android device of the driver so that user can track the location of bus. The user can get estimated time between his current location and the GPS location retrieved by user from database which driver has stored. In this project Mr. Vikram Shete, Mr. Rupesh Mishra and Mr. Jetso Analin had helped us to give guide- lines wherever we were stuck at any point. We presented this project in PRAYAS 2017. Aim of our project was to solve the basic problems of the common people. So we did a survey among students to know their everyday life basic problems. From the survey, it came to our notice that majority of them had traffic relat- ed problems due to which they were late to college and often missed their atten- dance. After analysis, we decided to create a bus tracking system application. To check the feasibility of our idea, we conducted another survey, from which sug- gested us that our idea might actually provide a solution to a many people. We made the bus tracking application using MIT application inventor which is an on- line software for creating android APIs. There are components readily available in this software we just have to drag them and place it on the screen and apply required logic. Our application has basically two sections. The login and registration is the first part and the second is location storage and its retrieval from database. In login page, we used the logic of checking the username and password entered for login are same as any of those stored in database in form of list.In storing the GPS coordinates, we used the location sensor component available in the software which stores the value in the database in form of a list. When user clicks on get coordinates, it will pick the value of latitudes and longitudes from database and will display. We have used activity starter which is merged with Google maps. In that activity starter we provided a link for start- ing Google maps which will show current location, the location provided by driver in form of latitudes and longitudes and the estimated time between these two locations. 47
