Electrical Instrumentation and Control Engg.
The course curricula is industry oriented and combines many branches like electrical, electronics and mechanical engineering as a response to the sophistication of industrial operations. With growing automation in manufacturing, nuclear power generation and many other conventional production systems, Instrumentation & Control Engineering has a challenging responsibility of designing and developing reliable control systems. A relatively new branch of engineering, it attracts a large number of undergraduate students due to its contemporary relevance. The Department has excellent instrumentation / process control laboratories to cater to the needs of students. It has its own sensor and signal laboratories, measure laboratories, VLSI design laboratories and circuit simulation laboratories. The laboratories are well equipped with adequate number of hardware, trainer kits and oscilloscopes. The control and instrumentation laboratories have Amplidyne Set, DC Position Control System, Data Acquisition System, PID Controller etc. Today, it is unthinkable to visualize any household or industrial gadgets without a control module. The TV remote at home is the end product of instrumentation and control engineering. The same is true of aircraft cockpits. In fact the application of instrumentation engineering has benefitted humanity in the last three decades like never before. This is an increasing phenomena in core industry. Research in this branch of application of electronics is considered a frontier area. We see the beauty and convenience of instrumentation engineering in major petrochemical and hydrocarbon industries. It’s a fact that instrumentation engineering has contributed to the success of famous companies like Dell computers in the US and Nippon steel in Japan, to name a few.
