ABOUT THE COURSE

Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering is a multi-disciplinary stream that covers subjects from various branches such as chemical, mechanical, electrical, electronics, biomedical and computers. The course is framed with specialisation towards robotics and industrial automation. Automation is one of the few fields where the demand for skilled talent is growing very fast. There is a growing demand for individuals in the field of Industrial Automation with an emphasis on Robotics, Distributed Control System and Programmable Logic Controllers. This program will prepare individuals to competitively challenge for a variety of positions in the automation and control systems areas. Typical fields of employment include R&D units, aerospace companies, pharmaceuticals, food industries, power plants, steel plants, fertiliser plants, automobile companies, biomedical companies, oil refineries and petrochemical industries.

Graduates will develop practical skills and understanding of the processes and methods that are applied to develop and implement an industrial automation. Graduates fill job positions such as: Instrument Engineer, Automation Engineer, Control Engineer, Instrumentation Technologist, Control Systems Technologist, Automation Specialist, Robotics Engineer etc.

Department Laboratory Facilities:

The department is sophisticated with the following laboratories,

1. Process Control Lab

The Process Control Laboratory is sophisticated with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Distributed Control System (DCS), Supervisory Controller and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) which take over the absolute control of the various stations like the Batch Process Station, Bottle Filling System, Water Level Controller, Speed Control, Computer Controlled Processes like flow, pressure, level and temperature. It is equipped with smart transmitters, closed loop pressure control station, pneumatic controllers, feed forward controller, ratio controllers and cascaded control systems. Students are also trained to design and implement controllers for different processes.

2. Virtual Instrumentation Lab

Virtual Instrumentation is the use of customizable software and modular measurement hardware to create user-defined measurement systems, called Virtual Instruments. The main focus of the Lab is modeling and simulation of Virtual Real Time Systems. The major soft wares included in the Virtual Instrumentation Lab are NI LabView, MATLAB/SIMULINK, etc.

3. Industrial Instrumentation Lab

The purpose of training in the Industrial Instrumentation Lab is to impart adequate knowledge and expertise to handle instruments generally available in an industry. The lab is equipped with dead weight tester, spectrophotometers, viscosity measurements and DPTs.

4. Electronics & Integrated Circuits Lab

The characteristics of different electronic devices such as diodes, transistors, etc., and simple circuits like rectifiers, amplifiers etc., are studied.

The Integrated circuits lab provides facilities to learn about the linear and non-linear applications of operational amplifiers (741). Students are made familiar with the theory and applications of 555 timers. Students are made to design combinational logic circuits using digital ICs, to design circuits using operational amplifiers for various applications and to design various combinational circuits using various digital integrated IC’s.

5. Measurements & Transducers Lab

Measurement lab is well equipped and enables students to understand the fundamentals of various measuring instruments.

Transducer Laboratory is equipped with modern sensors and measurement instrumentation equipment, which helps the students to study different mechanisms of measurement of temperature, pressure, density, humidity, displacement, force, speed, torque, stress etc.
