Advanced Signal Processing
This course delves into advanced mathematical techniques used in signal processing, including wavelet transforms, Kalman filtering, and adaptive algorithms. Students learn to apply these methods to real-world problems in communications, image processing, and biomedical engineering. The curriculum emphasizes practical implementation using MATLAB and Python.
Robotics and Automation
Students are introduced to robotics fundamentals, including kinematics, dynamics, control systems, and sensor integration. The course includes hands-on lab sessions where students build and program robots for various tasks such as navigation, object recognition, and manipulation.
Biomedical Electronics
This elective explores the intersection of electronics and healthcare, focusing on medical device design, physiological signal analysis, and bioinstrumentation. Students work on projects involving ECG monitoring systems, pulse oximeters, and neural interfaces.
Optoelectronics
The course covers principles of light generation, detection, and modulation in electronic devices. Topics include semiconductor lasers, photodiodes, fiber optics, and quantum dots. Students engage in lab experiments to design and test optoelectronic components.
Power Electronics
This course focuses on the design and application of power conversion circuits, including DC-DC converters, inverters, and rectifiers. Emphasis is placed on efficiency optimization, thermal management, and integration into renewable energy systems.
VLSI Design
Students learn to design integrated circuits using hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog and VHDL. The course covers logic synthesis, layout design, and verification techniques for modern VLSI systems.
Wireless Communications
This elective explores wireless communication principles, including modulation schemes, multiple access techniques, and network protocols. Students analyze real-world networks and simulate performance under various conditions.
Embedded Systems
The course provides a comprehensive overview of embedded systems architecture, operating systems, and real-time programming. Students develop projects involving microcontrollers, sensors, and communication modules.
Control Systems
This course introduces classical and modern control theory, including transfer functions, state-space representation, and system stability analysis. Practical applications include robotics control, process automation, and aerospace systems.
Digital Electronics
Focused on digital circuit design, this course covers combinational and sequential logic, flip-flops, counters, registers, and memory elements. Students implement designs using FPGA platforms and verify functionality through simulation tools.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our program places a strong emphasis on project-based learning to ensure students gain practical experience alongside theoretical knowledge. Projects are structured to simulate real-world engineering challenges, encouraging innovation and problem-solving skills.
The first year includes introductory projects such as designing simple circuits and building basic electronic devices. In the second year, students undertake more complex tasks like developing communication systems or analyzing signal processing algorithms. By the third year, students work on specialized projects aligned with their chosen specialization tracks.
Mini-projects are assigned at the end of each semester, allowing students to apply concepts learned in class to practical scenarios. These projects are evaluated based on design quality, implementation, documentation, and presentation skills.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that allows students to explore an area of personal interest or industry relevance. Students select their topics in consultation with faculty mentors, who provide guidance throughout the research and development phases. The project culminates in a formal presentation and a detailed written report.
