Faculty Development Programme On Wireless Propagation


A one week faculty development programme on ‘Wireless Propagation’ was successfully organized by Electronics and Communication Engineering Department Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology from 25th Feb. 2019 to 1st March 2019 and was conducted by Electronics and Communication Engineering Department NITTTR Chandigarh (through ICT).

The objective of this course was to train and upgrade the knowledge of faculty in the area of wireless Propagation. Wireless Propagation concept is related to transmission in indoor and outdoor environment. Theoretical and Practical aspects of propagation were discussed.

The main focus of the program was on Multipath Channel Concepts, Multipath Channel characterization, Channel Models, System-Specific Propagation Channels-Indoor, Outdoor, indoor to Outdoor channels, MIMO Channels, Research Areas in wireless propagations.

Dr. Nitin Sharma, Assistant Professor, ECE Department, was the course coordinator for this program. He conducted this course with the help of Prof. Neelam Sharma, Director MAIT, Prof. Sunil Kumar, HOD, ECE Department MAIT and Dr. Garima Saini, Coordinator, NITTTR Chandigarh.

The FDP received an overwhelming response with 70 participants from faculty members of ECE, CSE, IT and EEE department.

Industrial Visit to SSPL (DRDO)


An Industrial visit was organized to SSPL (Defence Research and Development Organization), Timarpur, Delhi for third year students of ECE & EEE Department. A Total of 35 students and 2 faculty members visited the laboratory which is equipped with advanced facilities. Students were briefed on latest Sensor technology, warfare situations & solutions, optoelectronics & advanced material technology & the future scopes of semiconductor devices. It was a great learning experience for the students.

AVR Robotics Workshop


A workshop on AVR Robotics in collaboration with Aptron solutions was conducted on 5th Sept, 2018 for third year students of ECE. Robotics is a vast field that deals with the design, construction, operation & use of robots.

These technologies are used to develop machines that can substitute for humans & replicate human actions.Robots can be used in any situation & for any purpose, but today many are used in dangerous environments (including bomb detection & deactivation), or where humans can't survive.

We were overwhelmed with the response of students. The workshop was very useful for the students to brush up their skills & to get hands on experience on AVR microcontroller.Overall it was a great learning experience.The workshop was attended by 63 students.
