Electronics & Communication Engineering

The Department was started with UG programme in 2001 with an intake of 40, and subsequently enhanced to 90 in 2005. Recently PG programme (M.Tech) in Embedded Systems with an intake of 18 has been sanctioned from the academic year 2010-2011. A team of qualified faculty members headed by Prof. P.Visweswara Rao with 9 years of teaching experience, run the Department with specializations in Antennas, Communications, Microwave Engineering, Electronic Instrumentation, Signal processing and VLSI areas.

The Department has well equipped labs with excellent infrastructure. Various labs in the Department are DSP/VHDL Lab, Digital ICs Lab, Microprocessors and Applications Lab, Communication Lab, Electronic Devices and Circuits Lab, Microwave and Antennas lab and project lab. Project lab consisting of 20 PCs connected in LAN is dedicated for carrying out the final year projects and for enhancing research activity, also R &D lab and M. Tech Embedded Systems Engineering lab. All the faculty members are easily accessible to the students for counseling and guidance on academic matters. The students are encouraged to take active part in cultural programmes, technical student events, seminars, workshops and sports. The faculty members are actively involved in research and are publishing papers in various National and International Conferences/Journals. Department has an exclusive Departmental library with around 200 Volumes and consisting of E-Learning resources like NPTEL. Department is provided with internet facility.

The faculty is trying to minimize the gap between Industry and Institute. Some of the problems from above said industries are identified and given as projects for the final year students and prototype models are developed in the form of projects in the department. With these Industries will also get mutual help in technical support. Periodically the department organizes guest lecturers from eminent people from academic, industries and research institutes.

Recently P.G course with Embedded Systems as specialization has started in 2009-10 with intake of 18 members.

The faculty members are encouraged in their research activities and permitted to participate in various National and International Seminars/ Conferences / Workshops. Senior faculty members of the department are pursuing PhD’s and are doing research work in various areas of specialization.

All the members of staff are easily accessible to students for advice and guidance on academic matters. The department has three well-equipped labs like Centre for Communication Skills. The faculty uses licensed software as well as locally developed modules to impart training to the students.

The aim of the department is to inculcate communication skills and life skills to the students through continuous two-way instruction, interaction, assessment and student-oriented feedback.
