Electronics & Communication Engineering

Department Overview

Electronics Engineering is one of the largest and fastest growing field of engineering. It covers a wide range of applications which make our life easier and enjoyable such as Television, Radio, computers, telecommunication etc. They help us see, hear and communicate over vast distances and do things faster. Electronics has a major role in improving productivity in industries like oil, energy, agriculture and so many other important sectors of economy. In steel, petroleum and chemical industries it is the electronic devices that direct, control and test production processes. Health care industry depends on electronic instruments to perform chemical tests and to check body functions. The safety in transportation, factories, mines and homes relies heavily on electronics. The uses are endless.

An Electronics engineer must find new solutions to the practical problems affecting our daily lives. An electronics engineer will work in a team with other specialists to design, fabricate, produce, test and supervise the manufacture of complex products and systems — electronic equipment and components for industries including hospitals, computer industry, electronic data processing systems for communication, and defence. They supervise production and manufacturing processes and oversee installation and maintenance. Electronics engineers work with devices that use extremely small amounts of power — microprocessors, fiber optics, and systems in telecommunication, television, radio, and beyond.

Electronics engineering is a constantly changing and widening branch of the engineering profession. The electronics industry, being labour intensive, provides many job opportunities for skilled candidates. Increased production and demand by government and businesses for communication equipment, computers, and military electronics — along with consumer demand and growing research in robotics and automation — continues to drive employment growth. Candidates with a creative and inventive mind and a strong grounding in physics and mathematics will find electronics engineering a challenging and lucrative career.
