ESE Day Out is the annual departmental outing of the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering (ESE) at the Indian Institute of Science, thoughtfully curated as a one-day retreat that brings together faculty members, staff, students, and their families in a relaxed and joyful setting.
Designed as a refreshing pause from academic and professional routines, ESE Day Out celebrates the people who make the department what it is both within and beyond the workplace.
The day typically begins early in the morning from the IISc campus, with the entire group traveling together to a pre-decided destination close to nature. Surrounded by greenery and open spaces, the venue offers the perfect backdrop for relaxation, informal conversations, and shared experiences away from classrooms and laboratories.
ESE Day Out is packed with a variety of fun-filled activities that appeal to all age groups. From boating, light trekking, and outdoor games to engaging fun activities for children and adults alike, the day is designed to ensure everyone feels included.
Adding to the experience is a thoughtfully planned spread of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, allowing participants to enjoy good food and great company throughout the day.
A defining feature of ESE Day Out is the warm inclusion of family members. By welcoming spouses, children, and families of faculty, staff, and students, the department reinforces its belief that a supportive academic environment extends beyond professional spaces. This inclusive approach strengthens interpersonal bonds and reflects the department’s respect and appreciation for the families who support its members.
The primary aim of ESE Day Out is to relax, reconnect, and rejuvenate. The outing provides:
ESE Day Out is more than a trip, it is a celebration of community, care, and the shared journey that defines the ESE family.
