PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSO’S)

Welcome to the department of Electronics & Communication Engineering at Siddhartha Institute of Technology & Sciences (UGC-Autonomous), Narapally, Medchal-Malkajgiri (Dist.), Telangana. The Department was established in the year 2008 with the aims of providing leadership in the field of Electronics & Communication Engineering with an intake of 60 students and the current intake is 60 students. In 2012, the department started M.Tech program with specialization in Embedded Systems with an intake of 24 and the current intake is 24 students and also M.Tech program with specialization VLSI Design with an intake of 24 and the current intake is 24 students. 

We strive to train and empower our students who will make the world a better place by using power of engineering principles, techniques and systems. To that end, considerable initiatives have been taken to establish good laboratories in the areas of Electronics, Communication, Microwave, Digital Signal Processing, Microcomputer, Embedded and VLSI design with required hardware and simulation software’s.

Here, the students are provided with greater exposure in the core areas of Electronics & Communication Engineering as compared to the students admitted in a similar program at other institutes of the state. The students are also encouraged to participate in the technical activities apart from the regular curriculum.

Electronics and communication engineering is a dynamic and exciting area that provides excellent career opportunities in various areas of technology. The department faculties are committed to teach our students the fundamental concepts and the latest trends via smart teaching and learning process. The students are also taught with critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they accommodate their future with confidence. In addition to classroom teaching, the students are guided and motivated to practically implement the principles learnt in classrooms through experimentations in the laboratories and through innovation centers on Robotics and Internet of Things.
