Activities
Developer Student Clubs are run by Google Developers globally. By joining a DSC, students grow their knowledge in a peer-to-peer learning environment and build solutions for local businesses and their community. DSC will organize and facilitate workshops in our university to provide students with technical development skills. Interested students get an opportunity to apply their skills for a real-life problem sourced from the local community. In addition, students gain problem solving skills as they understand and develop a solution using technology. A successful informative session of this club was held this Tuesday, on 29th of October. More than 50 students attended the session, which was organized and presented by Anila Hoxha and
Amanda Boci, both second year students of Computer Engineering, with the help of professor Enea Mancellari.
On November 8th, 2017, Computer Engineering department organized an Open Forum titled “MSC Software Solutions”
The representative of the MSC Software Jan Mazuch offered a presentation. Jan is the Director of the Central and Eastern Europe of MSC Software and is stationed in Czech Republic
MSC Software develops simulation software technology that enables engineers to validate and optimize their designs using virtual prototypes. Customers in almost every part of manufacturing use their software to complement, and in some cases even replace the physical prototype “build and test” process that has traditionally been used in product design. As a trusted partner, MSC Software helps companies improve quality, save time and reduce costs associated with design and test of manufactured products.
Their products accurately and reliably predict how products will behave in the real world to help engineers design more innovative products - quickly and cost effectively.
MSC Software's technology is used by leading manufacturers for linear and nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), acoustics, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), multi-physics, optimization, fatigue and durability, multi-body dynamics, and control systems simulation. MSC pioneered many of the technologies that are now relied upon by industry to analyze and predict stress and strain, vibration & dynamics, acoustics, and thermal analysis in our flagship product, MSC Nastran. MSC Software Corporation is part of Hexagon, a leading global provider of information technologies that drive productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial enterprise applications
Research conducted by the Department of Computer Engineering received media coverage on HIPEAC magazine for its work on medical imaging. Researchers in this department are working on developing safer medical implants in the framework of Personalized and Generalized Integrated Biomaterial Risk Assessment (PANBioRA) Horizon 2020 project. PANBioRA project consortium is composed of 17 partner institutions from 11 different countries. Dr. Arban Uka, an assistant professor of the Computer Engineering Department, stated that the focus of the work is image acquisition and image analysis. These two are very up to date research areas and the impact is much higher when applied to medical field. Portable microscopy units using phase contrast and brightfield microscopy are developed to comply with the complete system developed by the PANBioRA Consortium. The challenges regarding the quality of the acquired images requires an additional effort to compute reconstruction which is in itself an interesting research field. The processed images are then analyzed to determine the toxicity of a biomaterial by monitoring the morphology of the cells, counting and segmenting them.
Staff from Epoka University attended a training activity in the framework of “DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MULTIMEDIA AND DIGITAL TV CURRICULA”- DIMTV Erasmus+ CBHE project, where Epoka University is a partner. The third study visit of The Erasmus+ project “DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MULTIMEDIA AND DIGITAL TV CURRICULA”- DIMTV took place during January 21st -23rd, 2019 in Slovenia at the University Ljubljana, Faculty of Electrical Engineering
During the 3 day event, Department of Computer Engineering Staff Dr. Ali Osman TOPAL and Mukremin OZKUL participated in the training on Modeling and Animation. The aim of the training was to provide the trainees with international experience on Multimedia for PM education. In the third day, a visit to lab facilities at University Ljubljana was realized.
