Electronics Dept News 1995-96

The Electronics Deptt. recently received two grants from AICTE for set up of new laboratories. The grant of Rs. 5.3 lacs is received for Biomedical Instrumentation laboratory. The Dept. Proposes to purchase various set ups and instruments so that the students can undertake projects-at UG and PG level in Biomedical field.

A second grant of Rs. 3 lacs has been received for remote Sensing and Satellite Image Processing. The deptt. Soon will be equipped with hardware and software facilities in this area so extent. This will help PG students to work in this advanced field. Thus the Deptt. is always trying to extend facilities in emerging and advanced fields.

The Dept. has shifted its Computer facility to a well organised and planned new enclosure. The computer room is equipped with several 486, 386, machines and network nodes. LASER and colour ink jet printers are available alongwith dot matrix printers. Single processing kits including latest TMS 32050 are also available. Real time work in signal processing is possible due to advaced software.

For Image processing high resolution CCD camera and necesary hardware, softwares facilities are made available in Computer room.
