ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING PROGRAM (ECE)
The Electronics and Communications Engineering program aims to providing advanced analytical as well as technological knowledge in various fields of Electronics and Communications systems. The program includes a number of core as well as elective courses, which permit the students to specialize in a particular area while covering a broad scope of various engineering fields. The integrated skills of Electronics and Communications engineers are becoming increasingly valuable to the industry and advanced research, especially in areas of: Analog and Digital VLSI Design, Radio Frequency (RF) Integrated Circuit Design, Embedded Systems, Wired and Wireless Communication Systems and Networks, Signal, Image, and Video Processing, Photonics Systems, and Microwave and Antenna Engineering.
