The pace of progress in the field of Science & Technology in this millennium has
overshadowed the speed of Technological changes in the past decades. In this millennium
this pace would intensify and may even reach a state beyond our imagination. Technical
Symposiums like Acumen are an effort to catch up with the pace of technological
innovation.
Acumen triggered off in the year 1996. It was the first of its kind in Hyderabad
and had an overwhelming response. It paved way to for Acumen '99, which was a great
success, too. Around 180 papers from various parts of the country were received
and students from various universities and institutes like IIT, NIT etc. have participated
in this symposium.
ACUMEN is a three day festival. The event seeks to achieve communication of innovative
ideas that promote the cause of the technological advantage among the students and
also to keep them abreast with the latest advances in their respective fields. It
also opens a window to the participants to interact with people from different backgrounds
and upgrade their knowledge.
