M.Tech (2 year degree) programme in Power Electronics:
(Annual in take of students: 25) : Admission

Power electronics has emerged as an important area of specialization due to its widespread applications in industries. The major areas of electrical engineering in which power electronics is relevant, include motor control, industrial power supplies, electric machines, power quality improvement, flexible ac transmission, hvdc, power system protection, etc. The curriculum with integration of all these areas provide well trained manpower meeting the needs of industries and research organizations.

M.TECH - EMBEDDED SYSTEMS new

Almost all Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical systems are now controlled by a controller which is embedded as a part of the complete system. Such a system is called an Embedded System. Examples are tele-communication systems, chemical processing plants, transportation systems such as aircrafts and automobiles, bio-medical instruments and home appliances like microwave ovens and washing machines. The characteristics of embedded systems are that they are designed to do some specific tasks often in real time satisfying certain performance requirements. It is achieved through the controllers and software called firmware stored in Read Only Memory of the controller.

The vast majority of control systems built today are embedded, that is, they relay on built in special purpose microcontrollers (digital computers) to close their feed back loops. Some systems may contain large number of controllers .In such settings, controllers often use shared networks to communicate with each other and with a large number of sensors and actuators scattered throughout the system. The design of embedded controllers and the intricate, automated communication networks that support them raises many new problems- theoretical and practical-about network protocols, compatibility of operating systems and ways to maximize the effectiveness of the embedded hardware. This course will address many such questions and aspects of embedded and networked control. More >>
