Avanza, a Spanish word for “get ahead” is an annual paper presentation contest, which AISAT has been conducting since its inception. The contest is intended to make the budding engineers of our state, to get acquainted with the pioneers of the various engineering disciplines.
Avanza series
Avanza’12 – “Inspiring lives in Electrical and Electronics Engineering”.
Avanza’13 – “Inspiring lives in Mechanical Engineering”.
Avanza’14 – “Inspiring lives in Civil Engineering”.
A computer engineer designs, analyzes and implements hardware and software for next generation computing systems. Avanza’15, the fourth in the series, salutes the extra ordinary computer engineers who have made outstanding contributions in the world of computing, communication and other related activities.
