B.Tech (Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering)

At  the  root  of  any Science  or  engineering  is  an  instrument  that  measures,  manipulates, 
stores  that  information  or  controls  a  process.  The  extraordinary  developments  taking 
place in areas like Communication, Space, Medicine, Defense etc. open up large number 
of  opportunities  for  engineers  specializing  in  Electronics  and  Instrumentation.  This 
program  aims  to  produce  quality  engineers  with  knowledge  of  the  latest  trends  and 
developments that are required for the ongoing technological revolution.  
 
In view of the requirements of the industry and other R & D organizations, the curriculum 
is  designed  to  give  due  emphasis  on  Mathematics,  Electronics,  (Analog  and  Digital), 
Microprocessors  and  Microcontrollers,  Transducers,  Fiber  Optics,  Computer 
Programming,  Computer  assisted  Measurements,  and  the  latest  Instrumentation 
Techniques.  
 
Objectives  

• Develop  and  apply  mathematics,  science  and  engineering  skills  to  identify, 
formulate, and solve electrical / electronic /instrumentation engineering problems. 
• Use  industry standard  tools  to analyze,  design, develop and test  computer based 
systems containing both instrumentation and software components. 
• Understand  and  assimilate  the  new  trends  in  the  broad  field  of  Engineering  / 
technology  to particular situations,  where sensors and  instrumentation knowledge 
could be used. 
• Apply theoretical knowledge to the solution of real world engineering problems and 
to manage complex engineering projects. 
• Continue  to  develop  knowledge  and  skills  after  graduation  in  order  to  succeed 
personally and contribute to employer success. 
• Work  effectively  as  a  member  of  a  multi-disciplinary  development  team  and 
undertake leadership roles when appropriate.
