The Department of Electronics and Communication was formed in 2002. The department began by offering a B.Tech course in Electronics and Communication Engineering. Later the department grew and in the year 2005, started offering a B.Tech course in Electrical and Electronics Engineering also. To accommodate both the courses, the name of the department was changed to Department of Electrical Sciences" in the year 2006. Considering the growth potential of the Electrical Engineering discipline, the department of Electrical Sciences spawned a new department in June 2007 under the name of ~Department of Electrical Engineering. After the formation of the new department, the name was changed from Electrical Sciences back to Department of Electronics and Communication.

Over the period of 5 years since its formation, the department has established five labs including Analog, Digital, Microwave, DSP and VLSI Labs. Analog Electronics lab has 20 CROs and 18 DSOs which are used by students during their lab session. We have 40 computers in the DSP and VLSI Labs so that each student can work with one computer during the Lab session. Also extra labs are given to students to help in completing their project either final year or mini projects during other years. The lab provides all the equipments including bread boards to test and debug their hardware designs. VLSI lab provides computers to test and debug their software designs.

Over the years, department is encouraging teachers and students to participate in National/International seminars. Our faculty have participated in various National/International seminars and symposiums with funds provided from the department. Also our department has conducted two national level seminars on Information Security and Cryptography funded by AICTE, BRNS, DRDO etc convened by our HOD Mr. Suresh Kumar and Ms. Renu. Our department is conducting various workshops on Microcontrollers, VLSI etc. at regular intervals for the students of Amritapuri campus as well as students of other colleges. By this way students can develop deep skill sets in emerging areas which will help them to design good projects and also help them in the placement interviews. These workshops are conducted such that not only our department students take part but also the students of all other departments can participate.

 

The department focuses on overall development of the students imparting soft skills through Projects and Seminar presentations and by encouraging Students’ Association Activities and Industrial visits. Value education and Professional ethics are also an integral part of the curriculum.
