Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering is a popular field of study for engineering aspirants as it is a good combination of hard and soft branches like computer plus electronics. A student pursuing Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering can broadly learn about the subgenres of this field viz. VLSI, Embedded Systems with computer programming, Mobile Communication, Networking, Signal Processing, Fibre Optics & Photonics, Automation, Microwave and Television Audio-Video Engineering. This field vastly advances in tandem with the rapid changes in technologies, and finds applications in various important aspects of our lives. At Sandip Foundation, we provide one of the best Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering courses in Maharashtra. Our aim is to provide quality education and make the students employable.
The Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering was established in the year 2008, with an intake of 60 students for UG Course. Department offers Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctorate (PhD) programs. All courses are approved by AICTE and affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University. The Department has well equipped laboratories with advanced software’s such as Cadence, TCAD, LabVIEW MATLAB and PROTEUS for the development of projects. It also supports the essential hardware required for project building. The Classrooms are equipped with latest teaching aids including LCD Projectors.
The teaching faculties in the department are well qualified and keep them updated with the cutting edge technology by attending various conferences, workshops, seminars, training/development programs. Various training sessions are arranged for the students to enhance their technical and soft skills. Department motivates its students to present research papers at conferences in the state, national and international levels and a total 473 papers are published by faculties & students at national and international levels. Along with comprehensive academic input, we also encourage the students to carry out projects and gain hands-on experience with hardware and software tools. Currently there are 53 patents filed & published by the department. The USP of the department is ‘Project to Product’. Students have developed many products like, 3D Printer, E-bike, E-weather monitoring system, five different models of Vending Machine, Incinerator, in the lab itself, under the guidance of faculties and also received the consultancy of Rs.16,81,450/- for it.
Our faculties have been awarded through various technical events like AVISHKAR, Conferences etc. Department has fetched research grants of INR 23,80,000/- from various government and non government professional bodies. Our student’s projects have been nominated and awarded at various reputed competitions like KPIT Sparkle, Transform Maharashtra, Texas Instrument DST Innovation Challenge, SINE IITB, Kalam Innovation Awards, DIPEX.
Departmental Training and placement cell looks after special Industry Institute linkage through MOU, avails industry visits, internship program, training, industry projects, etc. Entrepreneurship development activity is carried out to develop students as an entrepreneur. Many of our alumni have become entrepreneurs and succeed in their business. We focus on overall development of staff and students.
The E&TC department runs postgraduate courses in VLSI & Embedded systems. Department also has a Research Centre affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune. There are university recognized guides under them 3 Research scholars have been awarded with PhD & 10 Research Scholars are pursuing the PhD. With this, the department has nurtured research culture amongst the students.
