Electronics & Communication Engineering - OVERVIEW

Introduction

People across the world can connect in no time because of fast growth in the field of Electronics and Communication. To contribute to the global growth, Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering at Global Academy of Technology came into existence in 2001 with the approval of AICTE. Since its commencement, the primary objective of the department has been to impart quality technical education to the students. Currently the department has strength of 650 students guided by a team of 35 devoted and diligent staff members. Undergraduate course of Electronics and Communication engineering covers the major fields of electronics like Digital Signal Processing, Embedded Systems, VLSI Technology Design, Microprocessor and Micro controllers, Microwave Engineering, RADARs, Digital Communication, Satellite Communication and Mobile Communication apart from basic engineering subjects.

The rapid developments in the field of Communication triggered the inception of PG program on Digital Electronics and Communication. The Department of ECE is recognized by VTU as a Research Centre to offer PhD/ M.Sc.(Eng.) Programs. Department provides a platform for research in emerging areas like Communications, Signal Processing, Image Processing, Microelectronics, Nanotechnology and RF/Photonics through its Research Centre and deliberates the latest technologies through its research publications.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES (PEOs):

Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to

• PEO1: Acquire technical knowledge of fundamentals of basic sciences, electronics and communication engineering, and applied mathematics for the rapid changes in technology.
• PEO2: Analyze, design, apply, evaluate and solve complex problems in technology and management through engineering skills.
• PEO3: Demonstrate team spirit by applying ethics and professional behavior.
• PEO4: Involve in research and development in the field of electronics and communication engineering and multi disciplinary areas for lifelong learning.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES (POs):
