From the Chairman’s Desk....

Vol. 18 : No. 07 October 2019

Dear Fellow Engineers,

Greetings and happy to share my thoughts once again with you all. We have started our year-long celebrations of Centenary

Year across India from Chennai on 13th Sep, 2019. Request all members to spread this message through many local events,

seminars, technical lectures etc so that we will tell most of the people of Tamil Nadu the long success story of IEI.

As you know, we are organising International Seminars on new technological topics like Block Chain Technology and National

convention Energy Storage. Request you all to spread the news about these events to all your members/associates and many

people can get the benefit by attending these seminars. It also gives lot of scope for technological work and job opportunities

to all engineers across the sectors. Now we are talking about Additive Manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things,

Advanced Simulation, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security systems, Augmented Reality, Autonomous robotics etc which will

change the way we are working drastically.

As a leading institution for Engineers, it is our responsibility to take the leadership roles and explain these new technologies to all engineers and make

them embrace these new technologies for improving productivity, reduce the cost, etc. We also equip our fresh engineers in these areas so that they

are employable when the job opportunities come across. Transformational change is required so that we can take full benefit of this fourth industrial

revolution.

Let us collaborate, co-operate among various sectors of engineering to develop or implement these new technologies in our operations. This needs

deeper understanding of the different disciplines knowledge and merging the same to our business or, organisation goals. In my opinion, most of the

current regular jobs may get redundant because of these new technologies and all these engineers will be used for high-end work. We are likely to get

many American, European companies coming to India in the changing business scenario. This will give us a lot of opportunities in terms of technological

upgradation, employment & business opportunities.

Let's get ready and welcome these technological change and this will brighten our future in the coming years...

Wishing you and your family members a Happy Deepavali.

our human mind / human intelligence used to imagine things / decide

with half information, without knowing full with his powerful slide

presentations. He discussed about the human evolution and change

agents fire, wheel, electricity, semiconductor, computer, space

exploration and now AI . He has presented a time vs progress curve,

when the future is predictable, how the curve travels, and when there

is exponential growth, the future is not predictable, the surprise factor

can take up highly unexpected up and even downward also. He has

explained ISRO past, present, future projections, how ISRO is

keeping ready with all Industry 4.0 and also with cost per mission

etc.

Institution to conduct examinations for serving the interest of a large

number of working professionals to upgrade professional skills and

thereby facilitate their career enrichment. The Royal Charter also

empowers Institution to adopt equitable forms of contract with the aim

of settlement of arbitration disputes by appointing empanelled

arbitrators.The need to ensure fairness in all dealings associated with

the profession of engineering has also been clearly laid out in the charter

which culminated in the establishment of “Professional Conduct Rules”

which later came to be known as ‘Code of Ethics’ in October 1954.

The Institution of Engineers (India) Tamilnadu State Centre celebrated

the Royal Charter Day on 9th September 2019 at IEI TNSC Auditorium

Chennai. Er P R Seshadri, Past Chairman, IEI TNSC briefed about the

Royal Charter Day and welcomed the gathering.

Dr P S Kumar, Managing Director, ETAsmart Pvt Ltd., was the Chief

Guest and delivered his lecture on the topic “Royal Path to implement

Industry 4.0”. He started his speech, that the first Industrial revolution

(Industry 1.0) mechanisation through water and steam power happened

around 1784. Second Industrial revolution (Industry 2.0) happened to

produce through mass production and assembly lines using electricity

in 1870. Around 1969 the automation, PLCs and computers were

inducted in to manufacturing thereby created third industrial revolution

(Industry3.0) and now the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0)

enhance it with using IoT (sensors attached machines & products), AI

and other smart and autonomous cyber physical systems in

manufacturing System. Coupling all these manufacturing elements and

making the data transfer through Cloud computing & Use smart

programmes to analyse the data and take decision with or without human

interventions. Industry 4.0 will benefit the manufactures in various forms

– it reduces cost by 20 to 30%, increase the efficiency by 15 to 20%

and make our manufacturing system is completely flexible. All the major

manufacturing companies are moving or in the process of migration to

this Industry 4.0 environment to make use of the benefits. Industry 4.0

can be applied once our processes are well defined and the

manufacturing & operating systems are created and being followed

systematically by all people – starting from engineer to manufacturing

director. It is highly needed for India which is likely to grow faster than

any country across the Globe in coming years.

Er P Gomathi Nayagam, Honorary Secretary, IEI TNSC proposed the

vote of thanks.

Royal Charter Day

The ultimate aim of the founding fathers of the Institution – the grant

of the Royal Charter of Incorporation, which was vigorously pursued

by Sri Rajendra Nath Mookerjee and followed up strongly by

succeeding Presidents, Mr Jwala Prasad, Dr A Jardine and Sir

Guthrie Russell, was realised on 9th September 1935 during the

Presidency of Rai Bahadur B P Varma, and was ultimately granted to

the Institution at The Court at Buckingham Palace of His Majesty King

and Emperor George V. The grant of the Royal Charter was an

outstanding event in the history of the Institution, as it was the first such

recognition extended to a professional body which had its origin and

functions in India. This endowed the Corporate Members of the

Institution with the right to use the title “Chartered Engineer” after their

names, implying that they are qualified engineers deemed worthy to hold

a Charter.

Incorporation of The Institution of Engineers (India) by Royal Charter

was done envisaging the role that the Institution was expected to play

of the establishment of the Institution which includes promotion of the

trade of engineering, ensuring equal rights and opportunities to members

as well as those engaged in the profession, diffusion of engineering

knowledge through activities, active research and publication, advising

policy makers on issues related to engineering education, accreditation

and establishing engineering standards.

Importantly, the Charter also has provisions which authorizes the
