eSim Hands-on Session with Academy of Technology (AOT), Kolkata and IEI Students Chapter
Date: 07/06/2026
Mr. Sumanto Kar, Assistant Project Manager, FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, conducted a 2-hour hands-on session on eSim in collaboration with the Academy of Technology (AOT), Kolkata, and The Institution of Engineers (India) Students Chapter. The session was organized to introduce students to open-source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and their applications in circuit design and simulation.
During the session, Mr. Sumanto Kar provided an overview of the eSim ecosystem, its key features, and its role in engineering education and research. Participants were guided through practical demonstrations of circuit design and simulation workflows using eSim, enabling them to gain hands-on experience with open-source EDA tools.
The session witnessed active participation from around 78 students, who engaged enthusiastically in the demonstrations and discussions. The interaction helped strengthen awareness of open-source technologies in electronics engineering and encouraged participants to explore eSim for academic projects, learning, and research activities. The session concluded with an interactive question-and-answer segment and positive feedback from the attendees.
