SRM University, Kattankulathur

SRM University, Kattankulathur It is the task of instrumentation and control engineers to research, design, install, develop, test and maintain instruments, electronics and computer control systems that are used in the process industry. With the help of automation techniques and computer-aided processes, they formulate ways to control these systems. Their prime focus is to ensure that the processes operate efficiently and safely. The department of ICE prepares students who seek to enter this stream by providing them with intricate knowledge to manage and control instruments. Courses Offered : => B.Tech Instrumentation & Control Engineering => M.Tech Instrumentation & Control Engineering => Ph.D Instrumentation & Control Engineering Research : A research coordination committee chaired by the Head of Department, along with two faculty members coordinates academic research in the department. Major Events & Achievements : => The Department conducts seminars, short-term training programs, workshops and conferences periodically DOKINCE - A National Level Students Symposium on Instrumentation and Control is organized every two years NCICSA - A National conference on Instrumentation, Control systems and Automation is one such event conducted once in two years => The department conducts two Short-Term Training Programs in a year => The faculty members of the department publish books, present papers in International and National conferences and deliver special lectures => This department has ISA (Instrumentation Society of Automation) - an International professional body - for the benefits of students Careers : Upon completion of the process instrumentation and control degree, students will be prepared for careers with industries that manufacture and apply instrumentation and control engineering equipment including power generation companies, petroleum refining industry, aerospace industries, healthcare firms, chemical firms, environmental monitoring and control companies, waste water treatment plants and plastic industries etc. Infrastructure : Laboratories : The department has the following laboratories, viz. process control lab, measurements and transducers lab, circuits and devices lab, microprocessors and microcontrollers lab, virtual instrumentation lab, digital & analog circuits lab. The department is equipped with CITECT SCADA, SIEMENS PLC, MATLAB, Lab VIEW, various types of process plants etc., which are used for modeling, analysis and design of instrumentation and control system. Department Library : To supplement the resources in the central library, there is an exclusive department library consisting of books, proceedings of workshop/ seminars, national and international journals, students' project reports, laboratory manuals, etc.
