LEAP conducted the ME25C025 – Re-engineering for Innovation, sponsored by Anna University, at the University College of Engineering, Kanchipuram. The program was held over three days and was designed to provide faculty with hands-on exposure to product innovation.

On Day 1, the program introduced participants to embedded systems and microcontroller modules. Faculty members gained practical experience in programming microcontrollers by controlling LEDs and sensors. They also explored wireless control by operating LEDs using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi through the ESP32 platform.

Day 2 focused on reverse engineering. Faculty teams dismantled and analysed household products such as iron boxes, table fans, mixer grinders, electric kettles, and CPUs. The session emphasized visual thinking, the importance of technical drawings, and the preparation of Bills of Materials (BoM). By the end of the day, each team proposed a feature enhancement idea for the product they had reverse engineered and began implementing their concepts.

On Day 3, teams continued working on their product enhancements. Faculty successfully implemented solutions such as a Bluetooth-enabled table fan, a touch-based smart iron box, and an IoT-enabled electric kettle. The program concluded with team presentations, where implementations were demonstrated and reviewed, followed by feedback and suggestions from the LEAP team.

Participants: 70 faculty participated in the TTT Program

Duration: 3 Days - 25 to 27 Nov, 2025
