M2: Provide platforms for Teambuilding, Leadership Skills in students community through Motivation and Communication
M3: Build Ethical and Leadership skills through Interactions with the outside world
PEO 1: Engage in designing, manufacturing, testing, operating and/or maintaining systems in the field of electronics and communication engineering and allied engineering industries
PEO 2: Solve problems of social relevance by applying the knowledge of electronics and communication engineering, and/or pursuing higher education and research
PEO 3: Work effectively as individuals and as team members, engage in lifelong learning and adapt to changing professional and societal needs.
PEO 4: To develop professional entrepreneurial skills and social awareness among students to mold them into a good citizen of our country
The Department of The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (E&CE) was established in 1986 with a vision to create innovative, ethical, and sociable Electronics and Communication Engineers. The department has well-qualified, experienced, and committed teaching staff whose main focus is on student-centeredness.
The E&CE department has been offering an undergraduate program in Electronics and Communication Engineering since 1986, when the institution was founded. The current intake is 60 students. The department also started a postgraduate program in 2004, with a specialization in Digital Electronics and Communication, and currently admits 18 students. In 2013, the department established a University-Recognized Research Center, and there are currently 7 scholars pursuing Ph.Ds and 3 Ph.Ds have been awarded. Since its inception, the department has achieved three University ranks in undergraduate program and six University ranks in postgraduate program.
The department has a student association named as Electronics and Communication Engineering Association (ENCEA) that organizes technical seminars, workshops, and invited lectures for students. The resource persons are from industry, academia, and R&D centers. This helps students stay up-to-date on emerging technologies in E&CE. The department also publishes ‘Abhivyakthi’ the department yearly newsletter.
The department has adequate infrastructure and well-equipped laboratories. It is also equipped with LCD projectors for lecture delivery, seminars, and demonstrations, as well as an ICT-enabled classroom. The department has signed three MoUs with the companies Takshila Institute of VLSI Technologies, Govt. Tool Room and Training Centre, and Thejas Embedded Solution Pvt. Ltd.
In addition to the Central Library; Departmental Library has more than 1400 volumes with 378 titles, which include academic and competitive related books.
The department is committed to implementing academic process through university syllabus and identified curriculum gaps. It also provides platforms for teambuilding, leadership skills in students’ community through motivation and communication. The department also builds ethical and leadership skills through interactions with the outside world.
