Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering

                      The field of electronics and communication engineering (ECE) involves developing and testing electronic circuits and communication devices such as transmitters, receivers, and integrated circuits. In this domain, engineers often need to use the principles of digital and analogue transmission. As part of this field of engineering, engineers also work with microprocessors, solid-state devices, satellite communication tools, circuits, and electronic devices.
