A Guest Lecture on Science Engineering and Technology

The Resource
Person Dr. M.N. Reddy, Retd. Senior Scientist, Laser Science & Technology Center (LASTEC), DRDO, New Delhi, has delivered the lecture to the students of I-B.Tech. CSE-IOT.

The lecture aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications in these fields. The lecture was attended by approximately 61 (sixty one) students, faculty members from various disciplines, including Physics and CSE- AIML & IOT. Attendees left with a greater understanding of current trends in Science, Engineering & Technology.

2. Objectives:
The main objectives of the lecture were to:
 Highlight the interconnections between science, engineering, and technology.
 Discuss current trends and future directions in these fields.
 Foster an understanding of the ethical implications of technological advancements.

3. Lecture Content:
Dr. M.N. Reddy highlighted the need for correlation among recent developments in science, engineering, and technology, focusing on the rapid advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Laser Technology. These interconnected fields are transforming daily life and have the potential to revolutionize industries by improving efficiencies and addressing global challenges. IoT enhances real-time data collection and communication, particularly in military applications, where it boosts situational awareness and decision- making. For example, laser-guided systems can utilize IoT sensor data for efficient target identification, while IoT-enabled drones equipped with lasers can conduct precise
reconnaissance and strikes. The speaker Dr. M.N. Reddy has also deliberated on “Space Technologies” in terms of Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope in the quest to explore the universe for our better understanding of cosmic phenomena, providing spectacular
images and invaluable data that have reshaped theories about the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets. Together, these instruments not only deepen our knowledge of the cosmos but also demonstrate how collaborative efforts in science and engineering can yield technological innovations that expand the frontiers of human exploration and understanding.
