October 10, 2026 · 3:30 AM - 8:30 AM @ Auditorium, Department of Electrical and Telecommunications Engineering, Oluvil, South Eastern University of Sri Lanka
Description
The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Student Branch Chapter successfully organized an in-person session for "FORGEX 1.0 - Phase 01 | Launch & Awareness" combining an official initiative launch with a hands-on technical workshop on digital electronics. The physical session began with an awareness segment introducing the vision, timeline, and structure of FORGEX 1.0 to the student community. Following the launch, the Chairperson of the IES Student Branch Chapter conducted an interactive technical workshop focused on basic combinational logic design. Participants learned the theoretical concepts and circuit designs behind Half Adders, Full Adders, and 7-Segment Display Decoders. To bridge theory with practice, attendees gained direct hands-on simulation experience using Proteus 8 and Tinkercad. At the conclusion of the workshop, a practical design challenge was introduced, tasking participants with designing a basic 4-bit Adder/Subtractor calculator and building a functional DIY circuit. All attendees were awarded certificates of participation in recognition of their active involvement. The physical session saw strong engagement and successfully equipped students with foundational digital logic skills for the upcoming phases of FORGEX 1.0.
