Vision

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is envisioned to be a

leading centre of higher learning with academic excellence in the field of electronics and
communication engineering.

Mission
The mission of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is to
impart high quality technical education by offering undergraduate, graduate and research
programs in the domain of electronics and communication engineering with thorough
foundation in theory, along with strong hands-on design and laboratory components, tools
and skills necessary for the students to become successful major contributors to society
and profession.

The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) of

B. Tech. in ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Provide solid foundations in mathematical and engineering

fundamentals required to solve engineering problems so that the
graduates are able to apply their understanding of science and
PEO1
engineering principles creatively to the solve problems arising in
whatever career path they choose, particularly in the domain of
electronics and communication engineering.

Make the graduates responsible and sensitive to social,

PEO2 environmental and economic issues in their profession and inculcate
the sense of ethics and professionalism in their approach.

Make the graduates capable to work in groups, lead teams engaged

PEO3 in system design and communicate their ideas clearly and precisely,
both orally and in writing.

Engage in lifelong learning of electronics and communication

PEO4 engineering and allied fields and face the challenges of the dynamic
world by improving their skills through continuous learning.
