Electronics and Communication Engineering Course

VISION, MISSION AND CORE VALUES OF THE DEPARTMENT
Vision:
To provide valuable resources for industry and society through excellence in technical education and research. Mission:MD1: To educate the students with the state of art technologies to meet the growing challenges of the industryMD2: To carry out research through constant interaction with research organizations and industry. MD3: To equip the students with strong foundations to enable them for continuing education.About the Department:The Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) Department was established in the year 1968. The department offers Undergraduate (UG), Post Graduate (PG), M.S.(By Research) and Ph.D degree programs that provide students with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in the Electronics and Communication Engineering. Research in the department focuses on high-impact various disciplines: Communication systems, Wireless networks, Signal and Image Processing, RF MEMS and MIC, Microwave antennas, Optical communication and Photonics, VLSI technologies.In 1968, Five year B.E. Degree programme in Electronics and Communication Engineering was offered with 40 seats affiliated to University of Madras. In the year 2003, the institution was granted Deemed University Status with the approval of the UGC/AICTE and Government of India and renamed as National Institute of Technology (NIT). Currently the department offers four year B.Tech course with student intake of 120. In 1976 the department started M.E. course in Communication Systems and in 1999, M.E. course in VLSI System was started. Both the PG courses having an intake of 28 students. Department produced first doctoral degree in 1989. In 2005, department started the course M.S. (By Research).The department of ECE is one of the established and largest departments in the institution. Our faculty brings state-of-the-art research, development, and design experience into the classroom, ensuring that our students and alumni are able to apply for registration as professional engineers in all part of global engineering and the scientific community. In all courses the Department has built an excellent reputation for its graduates in terms of placements.The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering claims a broad range of research that spans generation of new fundamental knowledge as a primary function. This culture of collaboration is one of the major strengths of the department, enabling integrative research based on interactions between investigators in different disciplines. The research programs provide facilities and support for graduate students and enable them to pursue their advanced study. Another important function of research is the continuing development of the faculty. In 1985, the department received the first sponsored research project. In the year 2005, the department was selected as a centre for Special Man power development (SMDP) in VLSI and Selected as a centre for Chip to System (C2S) under SMDP in 2015 in VLSI.
