Electronics Engineering Department
The GIKI Department of Electronics Engineering was formed in 1993. The curriculum has been designed with the aim of providing breadth, depth, design and coverage across the various areas of Electronics. In this era of the "global village" an overwhelming concern is to equip students with the ability to communicate their ideas. Numerous studies have brought to light the emphasis placed by industry on communication. At GIK we have addressed this issue by requiring students to present written reports as well as oral presentations in numerous class project. All students are required to complete an eight week summer internship during the summer prior to their senior year. This opens their horizons to the "real" world, and they are expected to subsequently focus their ideas into a six credit hour project carried out during their senior year. Regular reports and presentations are an important part of this effort. The size and scope of the department allows students to choose from a variety of research areas and participate in integrated research and development projects. The department maintains an interactive and cooperative relationship with industry.
Electronic Engineering program of study: The study program is highly flexible which allows students to major in his/her intended field. The electronics undergraduate program of study requires completion of 134 credit hours of study that is divided into general education requirements (54 credits), core electronics requirements (56 credits), electronics electives (12 credits), and free electives (12 credits).
Electronic Engineering areas of specialization: Elective courses are offered in the areas of Image Processing, Power Systems, Microwave engineering, Mobile Communications, VLSI Design, Process Control & Automation and Computer Communications.
Computational Facilities: The Department maintains extensive computer facilities for both undergraduate/graduate instructions and research. Almost all hardware platforms are available including SPARC workstations, RISC RS6000 machines, SGI Workstations, VAX 6000 running under the OpenVMS operating system, Pentiums & Pentium-Pros, Macintoshes, DEC workstations. Numerous general purpose and application softwares are also available.
Networking Facilities: Almost all departmental computers are networked via Ethernet and are connected to the campus backbone. This backbone connects Linux , Windows NT, Novell, and Solaris based machines. A VSAT link has been approved for Internet connectivity, and is expected to be operational shortly.
