The Department coordinates M.Tech. programme in VLSI Design and Embedded Systems, focusing on semiconductor technologies, embedded systems, and emerging applications.

Course Conducted

Directorates in 4 states are revising the Diploma curriculum once in every 5 years. Certain subjects are removed and certain new subjects are included. There is a number of polytechnics in the southern region. The teachers need training in the new subjects introduced. Based on the need, the courses are conducted in various emerging areas.
For Engineering Colleges, every year 2 AICTE courses on Emerging areas like Embedded System and Biomedical Instrumentation are conducted.
Resource faculty in Engineering Education and Information & Communication Technology in Interdisciplinary and Education courses of our institute.
Involvement in curriculum revision workshops for the four states in coordination with our Curriculum Development Centre.
Collaboration with International agencies: Conducted In-country and International Programmes on the use of "Information and Communication Technology in Education and Training" in collaboration with Colombo Plan Staff College, Manila.
