Department of the Electronics and Communication Engineering

The Department of the Electronics and Communication Engineering was established in the year 1998. The Department offers full time undergraduate course in the Electronics and Communication Engineering and Bio-Medical Engineering disciplines. The department also offers part-time under graduate course the Electronics and Communication Engineering and a post graduate course in Embedded Systems Technologies. The Department has well equipped laboratories with state of the art facilities.

The department has been organizing a cascade of seminars, guest lectures, workshops, symposium, conferences, industrial visits, in-plant training, inter collegiate programmes from time to time for the benefit of the faculty members and students through its Technical Association – ECELLENTRONICS (Electronics and Communication Engineering Student Association) and BIOVIN(Bio Medical Engineering students Association) and professional societies like IEEE EMBS( Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society) ,IETE,BES (Broadcast Engineering Society). The Department also coordinates the IEEE Student Branch with students of all the branches as its members.

The Department has signed an MoU with " Teknomed Services, Chennai " and PLC Technologies, Allied Electronics,Chennai for the benefit of the faculty, students' project work and in-plant training. The Department has an excellent placement record. The placements are arranged through the Career Development and Placement Cell. The Department library is well-equipped with many books and journals covering all the aspects of the Electronics and Communication Engineering field. The Faculty Members are well qualified with inherent experience in both teaching and research.

(A) PROGRAM OUTCOMES

Engineering Graduates will be able to:
1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
