The Department of ECE has launched a new academic programme, M.E. in Applied Electronics, as a maiden effort in post graduate education and training during the current academic year (2007-2008). This PG course in Engineering/Technology is affiliated to the Anna University.

The M.E programme comprises of four semesters course work spread over two academic years. In the first semester, five core subjects along with one elective course are offered, and during the second semester four core subjects and two electives along with one laboratory practical will be pursued.

Equipment needed for the second semester practical for Electronics Design Lab have been identified and those items not presently available are being procured. List of items to be purchased is separately forwarded for budgetary sanction

Students are guided in the weekly seminar sessions to present papers on technical topics of current interest. They are also encouraged to attend and present papers in state/ national level seminars and symposia.

Industrial Visit

The M.E students specializing in Applied Electronics will be taken to a number of electronic industries located in and around Coimbatore/Chennai/Bangalore for acquiring a feel for real life situation. This co-curricular activity, proposed by the department will be organized during the semester weeks and vacation period spread over the entire two year schedule.
