Bridging Classroom Learning with Industry: ECE Students Explore Agricultural Processing Systems

Melroy Quadros, Thilak Raj, Aptha Shetty, and Hardhik A, students of the Dept. of Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) under the guidance of Prof. Abhishek A B Nayak, undertook an insightful field visit as part of their academic project to understand real-world sorting and grading mechanisms in agricultural processing.

As part of this initiative, the team visited a rice mill and an arecanut grading unit, gaining exposure to industrial practices.

At the rice mill, students observed the complete process of cleaning, de-husking, and sorting rice grains based on size and quality using mechanical grading systems. At the arecanut grading unit, they gained insights into how arecanuts are classified through a combination of grading equipment and manual inspection techniques.

This practical exposure enabled students to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications, enhancing their understanding of industrial automation, sorting mechanisms, and quality assessment processes
