South East Asia on Circuits and Systems 2021 (SEACAS 2021)
IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Singapore Chapter has successfully organized a 2-day event on 28-29 March 2022 for South East Asia on Circuits and Systems 2021 (SEACAS 2021) and Student Hackathon. The SEACAS 2021/Student Hackathon event was postponed from the year 2021 to the year 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It took place at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 4 chapters from South East Asia (i.e., Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam) participated in the physical event, with 20 participants on the first day and 35 participants on the second day.

For the Student Hackathon, 17 students participated in the event. Six out of 17 students were from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam; each chapter had two student representatives. The remaining 11 students were from Singapore. To cultivate collaboration and culture exchanges, seven groups formed consisted of students from different countries. This years’ Hackathon’s theme was Sustainable Environment Development on Circuits and Systems. The students were first given a half-day tutorial briefing to learn how to program an Arduino board, and after that were tasked to make a prototype to solve an engineering problem related to the theme. The best project prize went to a team consisting of a Singapore student, Ms. Wang Jihan, and a Malaysia student, Mr. Kavieraj A/L Anbualagan.

For the SEACAS 2021, there were eight presentations (two each from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam). The speakers were Prof Bihan Wen (Singapore), Dr Anh-Tuan Do (Singapore), Prof Maryam Binti Mohd Isa (Malaysia), Prof Tutun Juhana (Indonesia), and Mr Manh-Hiep Dao (Vietnam). CASS SEA ambassador Prof. Fakhrul Zaman Rokhani gave the opening remark and finally, Prof Yoshifumi Nishio gave a closing remark (via teleconferencing) to all the SEACAS 2021/Student Hackathon participants.
