Hyderabad: In a bid to prevent road accidents caused by sleepy drivers, Hyderabad-based Military College of Electronics and Mechanical Engineering (MCEME) developed a new technology that alerts them.
An artificial intelligence-based device will be fixed on the dashboard of a vehicle, from there it detects and scans the eyes of the driver, if found closed for a certain time, it will trigger an alarm to wake the person driving and prevent accidents.

All of my favourite engineers have either abandoned the profession or are dedicating their lives to changing it for the better. The most heroic engineer I know never built a bridge or patented a gizmo. He completed a stint in consulting, moved on to Engineers Without Borders, then founded an organization dedicated to promoting technological stewardship in the engineering community.
What all these engineers have in common, besides collaborating with me on a nationwide grant proposal to transform engineering education, is disenchantment. They are disillusioned not only by an ethically suspect tech industry, but also by the education system that feeds this machine.
