ECE Department
About the Department
ECE Department was established in the year 2001 with the avowed intent of raising qualified Engineers and Researchers who can make a substantial contribution to the field of Electronics and Communication Engineering. ECE department has highly qualified, dedicated, and enthusiastic faculty who impart holistic education to the students. Students of this department not only exhibit their excellence in studies but also participate in workshops, National & International level student symposiums, and National & International conferences to enhance their technical & life skills.
ECE is a rapidly advancing field, with new ideas emerging every other second. From mobile phones to remote sensing, there are exciting avenues to explore and create even better ideas. The ECE Department at G.K.C.E prepares students for careers in this constantly evolving discipline. The Department has specialists from the fields of Image Processing, Embedded systems, Communication systems, VLSI Design, Wireless & Mobile Communications, etc.
Every year about 90% of eligible students are securing placements and the department is surging ahead to achieve 100% placements through on and off-campus placements. At present department is running a full-time UG program in ECE, one full-time PG program in Digital Electronics & Communication Systems (DECS) specialization and one II shift Diploma course (DECE). The department has embarked on research activities in the fields of
- Signal & Image Processing
- VLSI & Embedded systems
- Computer Networking & Communications
- Wireless & Mobile Communications and looking forward to have tie-ups with companies/ Industries in these fields to carry out and develop research.
In every summer vacation pre-final year students prepare working models in all the fields of ECE discipline. Technical experts are invited to the National level Students Symposium to enhance the technical knowledge of the students in diversified fields. GKCE students designed and developed the working model on GSM based Digital Display system and trials are on to embed voice control. Every year the Department is successfully conducting National level student symposiums. The biannual newsletter ELCOM released by ECE Department gives opportunity to the students to bring on their proficiency and explore skills by way of contributing articles on various subjects.
The overall environment in the department is conducive and congenial for the steady growth of knowledge, personality development and improves the research aptitude of students. Academic activity is continuously geared up and monitored to cope with emerging trends of technological development and innovations. The number of academic activities, events, co-curricular and extracurricular activities empowers the students to place them in the higher bracket of “Ready to be Absorbed” industries.
An Electronics Engineer can get a job in Central Government, State Governments, and their sponsored corporations in public enterprises and private organizations. Electronics engineers are also absorbed into the entertainment transmission industry, research establishments, and defence. They can be placed in the Ministry of Communication, All India Radio, DD and in Information and broadcasting sectors, railways, police, BSF, CRPF, and defence-related organizations, and in research organizations like ISRO. They can be a successful Design/Hardware Engineer in one of many Hardware companies like HP, Sony, Dell, Samsung, etc., as well as successful software Engineers in private software companies like IBM, INFOSYS, WIPRO, etc. They can also take up teaching and Research in one of the many Technical Educational institutes in India or abroad.
Laboratories
The department has well-equipped laboratories offering good infrastructure to conduct experiments in all fields and we have generated additional experiments apart from the JNTUA curriculum to impart more practical training to students. The department has ECAD Lab, Processors Lab, Digital Circuits Lab, EDC Lab, VLSI & Embedded Systems Lab, and Communications Laboratory equipped with FPGA kits, Microprocessor, Microcontroller & DSP kits, Antenna Measurement system kits, ALSK Kits, MSPEXP430FR5969 kits. Also, the department has more than 100 systems with licensed software, such as XILINX-VIVADO, MULTISIM, ACTIVE HDL, MATLAB, LT SPICE, Ki-CAD, MICRO WIND, KIEL MICROVISION, CC STUDIO, and MASM.
