Students from SRKR Engineering College in Bhimavaram achieved a remarkable feat by securing the first place and a cash prize of ten thousand rupees in a national-level hackathon competition organized by the CSI Student Chapter. The competition, dubbed 'Hecton', spanned from the 1st to the 5th of this month, featuring boot camps and rigorous competitions held on Fridays and Saturdays.
The winning team devised an innovative system designed to automatically deactivate earphones after two hours of continuous use. This solution addresses concerns related to prolonged earphone usage, which has been linked to potential ear problems according to various research papers. Notably, the victorious team comprised third-year students from the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) department: Enduri Mahendra, TDSS Y Ayyappa Kumar, Mangalampalli Gopi Srinivas, along with third-year Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) student Ande Rajesh.
Experts lauded the initiative, highlighting the health benefits of the solution, particularly in mitigating potential risks associated with wearing earphones while sleeping. The research conducted by the students promises to offer significant advancements in this regard.
Additionally, SRKR Engineering College students secured the second prize, earning a cash reward of six thousand rupees, while students from Suram Palem Aditya Engineering College clinched the third position, receiving a cash prize of four thousand rupees. The fourth and fifth prizes were claimed by SRKR Engineering College and Shashi Engineering students from Tadepalligudem, respectively.
