The work reported in the paper 'Study of Hall Effect using LABVIEW' emanates from the project done with our B.Sc. (H) Electronics-IIIrd year students - Anshul Vinay Parmar, Migmar Dolma and Rohit Gambhir - with Dr. Amit Garg, Ms. Reena Sharma and Mr. Vishal Dhingra in the Department of Electronics. It was a tough competition where 107 entries were shortlisted in the student category from submissions received from about 800 reputed Engineering colleges in India. We then went on to win the third prize which is an accomplishment since we were competing with best engineering colleges in the country.
The students were taken to Bangalore and provided accommodation in a five star hotel to attend the Prize distribution ceremony on NI Educators Day 2008 in Bangalore by the organisers. Besides, the students will get a chance to present this paper to Industry Experts at the 7th National Conference on Virtual Instrumentation in Engineering Education 2008 to be held in New Delhi. As part of the prize, we have also received the Student Version of LabVIEW and certificates from National Instruments to all the authors. They have also won 1000 USD from National Instruments for Lab up-gradation. We can proudly announce that its only the second time in 6 years that any team from North India has won any prize at this prestigious event. The earlier winner from this region was in 2002 and he is now working with National Instruments.
