The ACM Student Chapter of Padre Conceição College of Engineering (PCCE), in association with the Goa State Council for Science & Technology, organized a Drone Technology Workshop on 25^th April from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The session commenced at approximately 9:30 a.m. in the college auditorium, with around 40–50 students participating in the workshop.

The program was compered by Mr. Jayram, who welcomed the gathering and introduced the distinguished guests, including Prathamesh Joshi, Project Head at GIRNAAR Group of Factory Automation, and Mrs. Brenda Fernandes, Member Secretary of the Goa State Council for Science & Technology. Both guests were honored with a token of appreciation presented by Dr. Supriya Patil, Head of the Department.

The workshop began with an informative session conducted by Mr. Joshi, where he introduced the fundamentals of drone technology. He explained the concept and full form of drones, including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and provided historical context regarding their development. The session further covered various types of drones, their components, and different architectures used in drone design.

A detailed explanation of propellers was provided, including their sizes, configurations, and the distinction between clockwise and anticlockwise rotation. The speaker also elaborated on drone motion dynamics, such as pitch, roll, and directional movements (forward, backward, upward, and downward), along with the role of specific propellers during these maneuvers. This theoretical segment helped students gain a strong foundational understanding of drone mechanics.

Following the theoretical session, a hands-on practical demonstration was conducted in the parking area of the campus. Participants observed the operation of different drones, including a mini drone that unfurled the Indian flag and an agricultural drone that demonstrated spraying functionality. This live demonstration provided valuable practical exposure and enhanced student engagement.

The workshop concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Mr. Jayden Fernandes, an ACM member, who expressed gratitude to the speaker, guests, faculty members, and participants for contributing to the success of the event.

Overall, the Drone Technology Workshop was an enriching and engaging experience that effectively combined theoretical knowledge with practical application. It provided students with meaningful insights into emerging technologies and inspired them to explore opportunities in the fields of drones, automation, and innovation.
