Electronics & Communication Engineering Department
Overview
The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was instituted in the year 1993 to start a 4-year B.E. degree programme affiliated to the Madurai Kamarajar University. The first batch of students graduated from the department in the year 1997. A post graduate programme leading to M.E. degree in ‘Digital Communication and Networking’ was introduced in the year 2001. Consequent upon the integration of all engineering colleges under Anna University, Chennai, the affiliation both programmes were shifted to the Anna University from 2002 onwards. Based on the infrastructure and faculty strength the department was recognized as research centre by Anna University in 2003 to offer M.S (by Research) and PhD programs in the area of Electronics and Communication Engineering. In the year 2004, AICTE approval was obtained for introducing a second post graduate programme in ‘VLSI Design’. After a brief period of affiliation to Anna University, Chennai, the institution was finally declared Deemed-to-be University status by Govt. of India from 2007.
Features
Since its commencement, the primary objective of the department has been to impart quality education, training and research at the undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels in various areas of Electronics and Communication Engineering with broad emphasis on design aspects of electronic systems. The major areas of faculty expertise of the department include Communications, Advanced DSP, Biomedical and Speech Processing, Control, Instrumentation, VLSI, Image Processing and Computer Vision, Power System and Power Electronics. The department offers the following degrees: B. Tech (in Electronics & Communication Engineering), M. Tech (in two specializations: Digital Communication Networks and VLSI Design) and Ph. D. (in various specialization areas of faculty expertise as mentioned above). The department have been selected as DST-FIST sponsored and sanctioned Rs.40 Lakhs towards setting up the centre for VLSI design and Image Processing.
