Subject: IEEE India council: AIyeHum2012 - final reminder

Dear young budding engineering and science students,
 
Warm Greetings from IEEE India to the AIyeHum2012 aspirants!
Can you solve a humanitarian challenge using science and technology? And make your solution sustainable and scalable?If yes, your project can be funded and mentored by IEEE. The most innovative idea may be funded to get patented!
IEEE AIYEHUM in collaboration with IEEE EPICS is inviting innovative ideas from young engineers to apply science and technology for the benefit of mankind with lot of focus on practical/on the ground implementations. The projects are expected to be taken out of your lab to reach the targeted beneficiaries. It is expected that project teams propose to involve specific NGO’s as partners in their effort who could act as customers or consumers for the technology / product built by the team. If the project team has not established contact with the specified NGO’s, they can do it during their participation and/or IEEE team could help in that effort.
Website: www.humanitarian.org.in
Project funding: 2 categories
1)  In collaboration with IEEE Engineering Projects in Community service, AIYEHUM is able to support projects with higher budget requirements to the tune of INR 50000 – INR 75000. More details about IEEE EPICS can be found in this link. Such projects are expected to have strong practical application and collaboration with a Non-Governmental Organization for implementation of technology / product developed
2)  Prototype development and concept n feasibility demonstration type projects will be funded upto INR 10000. More details on www.humanitarian.org.in website.
Mentoring and training
1)  The project teams will receive focused online training from the Purdue University, USA on the concepts of Service Learning and Applying technology for Humanitarian causes
20  IEEE will help connecting the teams with a suitable mentor from the Industry or Academia
Scope:
All Science and Technology students of India (Graduate and Undergraduate students, Need not be IEEE members to apply)
Deadline: for project proposal submission: 15th March 2012
Program organizers and Sponsors: IEEE Bangalore Section and IEEE EPICS (Engineering Projects into Community Service)
