Edge Computing: The Future of Smart, Real-Time Technology by Prof. Abhishek Tyagi (CSIT)
As our world becomes increasingly connected through the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and smart devices, the need for faster and more efficient data processing is greater than ever. This is where Edge Computing steps in—a game-changing technology that brings data processing closer to the source.
Unlike traditional cloud computing, where data must travel to distant data centers, edge computing allows data to be processed near the devices that generate it. This results in low latency, reduced bandwidth usage, and real-time decision-making. Think of self-driving cars that need to make instant decisions or healthcare systems monitoring patients in real-time—edge computing makes this possible.
Key components include edge devices like sensors and smart gateways, local servers, and edge software that manages and analyses data. Industries such as automotive, retail, agriculture, telecommunications, and smart cities are rapidly adopting edge technology to enhance performance and efficiency.
While edge computing offers significant advantages, it also poses challenges around security, privacy, and data management. However, with the rise of technologies like 5G, Edge AI, and federated learning, these challenges are being actively addressed.
For students and aspiring tech professionals, edge computing is a promising field full of innovation. It combines elements of cloud computing, networking, AI, and cybersecurity—making it an exciting area for future careers and research.
In a hyperconnected future, edge computing is set to play a vital role in shaping how we interact with technology every day.

KIET Group of Institutions Organises Two Workshops on Outcome-Based Education
August 16, 2022: On its campus from August 1–5, 2022, and again from August 8–13, 2022, the KIET Group of Institutions, Delhi–NCR, Ghaziabad, conducted two workshops on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) methods.
To train its recently hired faculty members, the placement cell's conference room hosted phases 1 and 2 of the workshops. This effort aids new hires in incorporating the institute's top OBE practises into their teaching-learning procedures.

The National Board of Accreditation (NBA), a bridge that spans national borders, has certified all of KIET's engineering, computer application, management, and pharmacy programmes. Globally, it is reportedly true that overseas universities and employers are aware of the numerous programmes offered at KIET. As a result, young KIETians (students) have access to internship and job possibilities around the globe. Due to NBA, India's status as a permanent signatory to the Washington Accord as of June 13, 2014, this is now permissible.
The distinguished members of the OBE team of Dean Academics, including Dr Atul Kant Piyoosh (Associate Dean) and Dr Yaduvir Singh, successfully led both parts of the workshops on OBE techniques (Assistant Dean). Dr A. Garg (Director) addressed the audience during the opening sessions of the seminars and inspired the attendees by encouraging them to move forward and adopt a First Time Right (FTR) approach. He also underlined the faculty member's need to truly implement the institute's best OBE practises. Warm greetings were given by Dr Manoj Goel (Joint Director), Dr Anil K. Ahlawat (Dean -A), and Dr Shailendra K. Tiwary (Dean BTech. 1st Year) to the attendees and the in-house resource people, which included deans and professors from various departments.
