I PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION:

The main objective of an engineering course in Electronics & Communication Engineering is to prove the
technical viability of the new technology, together with, as appropriate, its possible economic advantages.
Demonstration activities are expected to speed up the adoption of new communication techniques by
reducing the techno-economic uncertainties and risks associated with innovation and, to enhance the
attractiveness of new technology and its approaches in industries and services. To analyze the ethical,
social and legal issues raised by specific applications of electronics and communications in view of their
being taken into account in public policy deliberations. 3rd generation (3G) UMTS (Universal Mobile
Telephone Systems) of selected topics will be promoted, particularly as regards: channel capacity and
quality improvement, signal processing algorithms developments, co-channel interference strategies etc.

To provide application oriented teaching with live demonstrations. To motivate the students in developing
instruments and gadgets of social importance and also to design the products for real life problems. To
train the students right from 2nd year to make him directly fit in the industrial and R&D environment.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVE:

The programme objective can be broadly defined on five counts as below.

1. Preparation: To prepare students to excel in ECE program or to succeed in industry /technical

profession through global, rigorous education.

2.Core Competence: To provide students with a solid foundation in mathematical, scientific and
engineering fundamentals required to solve engineering problems related to ECE and also to pursue
higher studies.

3.Breadth: To train students with good scientific and engineering breadth so as to comprehend, analyze,
design, and create novel products and solutions for the real life problems.

4.Professionalism: To inculcate in students professional and ethical attitude, effective communication

skills, teamwork skills, multidisciplinary approach, and an ability to relate engineering issues to broader
social context.
5.Learning Environment: To provide student with an academic environment aware of excellence,
leadership, written ethical codes and guidelines, and the life-long learning needed for a successful
professional career.

After the successful completion of the Programme the students will demonstrate the following
characteristics that are referred to as Programme Outcomes.

II PROGRAMME OUTCOMES:

a. The graduate students will exhibit their theoretical & Technical knowledge skills of all the

subjects they studied.

b. Take up practical applications and apply their technical skills for their solutions.

c. Conduct the experiments to analyze and design and thereby evaluate their performance.

d. To design the hardware circuits both in analog and digital versions. Application of micro-controllers

and their interface, PC interface, software development leading to multi disciplinary tasks.

e.The ECE students are exposed to multi disciplinary fields from which students will be able to

develop and design various applications so as to suit for the industrial needs.

f. In the process of design the students are already trained in the use of modern engineering tools like

Multisim, Mat lab ect to optimize the end results.

g. They are also get acquainted with software skills and ethical responsibilities from the professionals.

h. They are also trained to take up the projects having social relevance like water resources management,

power saving, traffic monitoring etc.

i. Those interested in pursuing higher education can write GATE, GRE and apply for other technical

competitive examinations.

j. Those who are having skills of entrepreneurship will develop their own small scale industry for the

products having industrial or sociological relevance.

k.Competent student can develop a training centre after their graduation.
