The Department - At a Glance
|
The experienced and well qualified faculty members, curious, bright and enthusiastic students and well positioned alumni are the stake holders of the department.
Need based Curriculum
Effective blending of hardware and software skills in the curriculum increases students’ involvement and accelerates learning. The unique curriculum is designed to cater the diversified need of variety of industries in Embedded Systems, VLSI, Telecom, Information Technology etc.
Distinguished experts from reputed industries, academic institutes and research organizations like ISRO, Hitachi-Hirel, Volansys, e-infochips, Idea-Vodafone etc. contribute in curriculum reforms with valuable suggestions and feedback.
Students’ Participation and Achievements
The combination of strong up-to-date curriculum and the committed faculty members has helped our students excel in competitive exams as well as in their professional responsibilities. The department faculty members guide students for participation in national level competitions such as NCAT, Hackathon and e-Yantra (IIT-B).
Students are encouraged and mentored for innovation projects with financial support under Student Start-up and Innovation Policy (SSIP). Some of the recently graduated students have their own start-ups and have earned reputation.
Professional Student Bodies
Promoted by the department in March 2010, DDU IEEE Students' Branch offers a platform to the students for organizing different technical activities throughout the year, under the banner of an internationally recognized organization. Expert Talks, Seminars and workshops on the state of art of the technology are conducted by senior experts from academics as well as industry.
Department also encourage students for membership into other professional bodies like CSI, Cisco Academy, IETE, ISA.
Projects & Internships
Well Defined strictly followed Academic Calendar gives freedom to undergo summer internship of two months period.
Term Projects are integral part of curriculum besides hands on in the laboratories. Applying knowledge for problem-solving allows the students to raise their thinking to a new level and develop collaboration and leadership skills.
The fundamental objective of the final semester full-time industry internship to provide exposure to field and corporate practices. This compulsory requirement of curriculum has been much appreciated by our industry counterpart. It often culminates in to lateral placement of students who missed campus recruitment because of merit criterion.
Placements
Besides the committed efforts for a strong foundation through a solid curriculum, continuous faculty research gives opportunity to students to engage in the activities of the latest technical development. This has helped students in securing a good satisfying job and admission at well-known institutes abroad.
The department has prolific linkages with core industries. Some of the major recruiters include e-Infochips, Cadence, Nokia-Siemens, Hitachi-Hirel, Idea-Vodafone, Volansys, TCS, Infosys, Cognizent, Torrent power, Capgemini, Arastu Systems, Perfect VIPs, Matrix, MG motors, SLS, VVDN etc. The Department has 100% placement for the eligible students.
