It provided students with a rich hands-on learning experience, promoting the adoption of open-source tools to drive innovation and self-reliance in electronics
    design.

  • eSim Quiz for Second-Year UG Students at IIT Bombay
    On Friday, 31st October 2025, an eSim Quiz was conducted for Second-Year Undergraduate students of IIT Bombay in LC 102. Participants were given two circuit design problems to create, simulate, and test using eSim, showcasing their understanding of circuit simulation. The completed designs were submitted through the IIT Bombay Moodle platform, marking an engaging and practical learning experience for the students.This quiz was conducted as part of the EE204 – Analog Circuits course and was considered from an examination point of view for the subject.

  • Semiconductor Career Awareness and Opportunities

    Mr. Sumanto Kar, Assistant Project Manager at FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, was invited as a speaker for the “Semiconductor Career Awareness and Opportunities” session held on 26th October 2025 (Sunday) from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the EEGG Conference Room, Electrical Engineering Department, IIT Bombay. The event, jointly organized by IIT Bombay and SemiX, aimed to connect classroom learning with real-world applications in the fast-growing semiconductor industry.

    Mr. Sumanto shared insights on open-source tools and initiatives under FOSSEE, highlighting how platforms like eSim enable students and researchers to explore circuit design and simulation. Other speakers included Vipin Madangarli (SemiX IIT Bombay Fellow; Former Director & India Site CTO, GlobalFoundries), Prof. Saurabh Lodha (P.K. Kelkar Chair Professor, IIT–OSU Frontier Research Center), and Karthik UC (HackerFab, IIT Bombay). The session offered valuable guidance on research, internships, and career opportunities in the semiconductor domain.

  • Hands-on Workshop on eSim | At Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay
    As part of the EE204 course, the eSim Team hosted a Hands-on Workshop on eSim on 11th October 2025 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM in GG401, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay. The session was conducted by Mr. Sumanto Kar, Mr. Varad Patil, and Ms. Shanthi Priya from the FOSSEE Project, IIT Bombay, and was delivered to the 2nd Year B.Tech Electrical Engineering students. The workshop introduced participants to eSim, an open-source EDA tool developed under the FOSSEE initiative, focusing on circuit design, simulation, and analysis. Throughout the session, students experienced a complete workflow from installing eSim to designing and analyzing real-world circuits. The team explained the potential applications of eSim and demonstrated practical use cases through live hands-on examples.

    A continuation session was conducted on 29th October 2025 (Wednesday),at Lecture Hall Complex LC102 as part of the same course, focusing on advanced circuit simulation and analysis. Students designed and tested analog amplifier circuits and explored various analysis techniques in eSim. The session further enhanced their understanding of analog circuit behavior and strengthened their practical skills in using open-source EDA tools, effectively bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world circuit design experience.
