Warm greetings from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). We are pleased to inform you that the workshop titled “Arduino Hands-on Workshop: Bridging Theory with Practical Embedded Systems Learning” was successfully held on 06 July 2026 at the university premises.

The primary objective of the workshop was to provide students with practical exposure to Arduino-based embedded systems through interactive, hands-on learning. This initiative successfully bridged the gap between theoretical classroom knowledge and real-world industrial implementation, equipping participants with valuable technical skills.

Inaugural Session and Welcome Address

The ceremony commenced with a formal welcome from the anchors, who introduced the esteemed guests, faculty members, trainers, and participants while outlining the objectives and structure of the workshop.

Syed Ahsanul Kabir, Honorable Chairperson and Associate Professor of the Department of CSE, served as the Session Chair. In his inspiring inaugural address, he encouraged the students to actively engage with the learning process and expressed his sincere gratitude for the department’s continuous support of such co-curricular initiatives. The special guest, Mr. Md. Solaiman Mia, Assistant Professor of CSE, also graced the occasion and shared valuable suggestions regarding the upcoming project fest.

Following the opening remarks, Samia Rahman, Microprocessor Course Instructor, formally welcomed the guests, mentors, trainers, and participants. She emphasized the significance of the workshop, noting its critical importance not only for the upcoming hardware lab sessions and project presentations but also for the students’ long-term practical learning journeys.

Hands-on Training Sessions

The core technical session was led by Md. Istiac Ahmed, Lecturer of EEE and Mentor of the Green Robotics Society. He introduced the participants to various types of Arduino boards and demonstrated the integration of microcontrollers with circuits. Students engaged in practical tasks involving LEDs and buzzers, gaining firsthand experience in connecting software coding with physical hardware.

In the subsequent segment, Abdullah Al Masud, Research Engineer of Green University of Bangladesh and Mentor of the GUB MARS Rover Team, captivated the audience with an introduction to Mars rovers. He explained the development process of these rovers, detailed the types of Arduino-based devices and sensors utilized, and demonstrated real-life examples of autonomous systems, such as sensor-based self-driving cars.

Concluding Keynote and Closing Formalities

Delivering the concluding keynote address, the special guest Mr. M. M. Naushad Ali, Assistant Professor of the EEE Department, delivered an insightful speech encouraging students to further explore the vast potential of Arduino. He highlighted the wide range of applications available beyond standard lab sessions.

As a token of gratitude for their commitment, leadership, and unwavering support, crests were formally presented to respected faculty members, including Mr. Md. Rajibul Palash, Mr. Humayan Kabir Rana, Samia Rahman, and Sanjida Akter.

The formal session concluded with a group photograph featuring members of the IEEE Student Branch, IEEE Computer Society, faculty members, trainers, and all enthusiastic participants. The workshop officially concluded at 1:00 PM.
