Description

The first technical society of IEEE, the Signal Processing Society’s mission is to advance and disseminate state-of-the-art scientific information and resources. Being a supportive pillar to this global mission, we aspire to increase enthusiasm about signal processing among Sri Lankan undergraduates and provide a venue to interact and exchange ideas. The signal processing community within our university has been able to take our country’s name to the world by becoming global champions of the IEEE Signal Processing Cup 2021 and IEEE ICAS Challenge 2021. We consider it our responsibility to share these experiences with the rest of the undergraduate community in Sri Lanka to enhance their knowledge and presentation skills. Therefore, we took the initiative to organize the 5-Minute Video Clip Contest in which the participating teams would be given the chance to explore cutting-edge signal processing concepts. Furthermore, to promote STEM education through native languages, the competition is open for submissions from all three languages (Sinhala, Tamil, and English). With the support from our sponsors as well as our advisors, the competition encompasses two workshops which help equip our contestants with the required knowledge and guidance to create quality content. The submission and registration processes will be conducted virtually, with a final live competition hosted at the university premises.
