About the Department
Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering
The Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering is functioning, from the year 2002 to impart quality education to under graduate & post graduate engineering students in the field of EIE. The curriculum is followed as per the Anna University regulations & it is periodically upgraded from Board of studies Members. The department is having highly qualified and experienced staffs who are actively involved in teaching & research in various electronics / instrumentation engineering. The faculty members have contributed appreciably to all the co-curricular and extracurricular activities of the college administration like NBA, NAAC and ISO etc.
The department has obtained Permanent Affiliation Status from the Anna University. The EIE programme was accredited by NBA, New Delhi during 2015 to 2021. There are different laboratories such as Electronic Circuits and Devices lab, Industrial Instrumentation Lab, Measurements and Instrumentation Lab, Virtual Instrumentation lab, Process Control lab, Transducer lab, Industrial Automation lab and Instrumentation System Design Lab. All the laboratories are fully equipped for conducting various practical courses as prescribed by Anna University. The department is provided with good supporting staff.
The department has been getting very good results in both theory and practical university exams. About 4 faculty members are pursuing Ph.D. in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. The staff members involve themselves in the welfare of the students. Class coordinators are assigned for each class to monitor the performance of the students with respect to their attendance, test, behavior etc. The progress of each student is sent to the parents regularly. Counselling/Mentoring is done to the required students in the ratio of 1 faculty : 15 students. If necessary, the parents are called for a discussion.
The faculty development programs, workshops and seminars are conducted in the college periodically. Staff members are also encouraged and fully supported to participate in seminars, workshops conducted by various reputed organizations and also to present papers in national and international conferences.
About 90% of the passing out students are placed in companies like TCS, Infosys, Accenture, HCL, L&T, IGATE, Mahindra Sathyam etc. Many students have also gone for the higher studies in our country and also in abroad.
The objective of the Institution and of the Department is to impart Quality Technical Education and promote the growth of effective, efficient and true professionals.
While the First year Core Curriculum begins with a common knowledge Base and customizes Students by grounding in basic Engineering Foundation and in Critical Hands on Skills in Engineering Practices, the Course has access to enhance the Learning, Student Perspective and Experience to develop Specialization in areas of ‘Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering’. Class room learning is complemented by Practice in Hi-Tech Labs, Projects and Hands on Experiences, so as to foster Knowledge in ‘Engineering and Technology’. Universal Values and ethics, Technical Training is also taught for the students.
The Department strives to develop long term relationship with Industries and market the students’ talents effectively. The Department has a name for itself among the top colleges at University level through Symposia, Workshops and Conferences and also through its outstanding and consistent performance in the Examinations and Placement.
