This discipline, offering B.tech ,M.S and Ph.D courses, was
started in the year 2016, the same year IIT Dharwad was
established.The BTech curriculum is a unique combination of
courses covering core fundamentals in computer science along with
advanced topics aligned with the distinct research areas of our
faculty. Our faculty research broadly categorized into three
spines namely,
a) Theory(logic, graph theory)
b) Systems(computer architecture, computer networks, parallel
programming)
c) Intelligent systems(ML and AI).
Besides the three spines,
our faculty work in interdisciplinary areas such as cyber physical
systems, smart grids, which involve a wide range of problems
related to data science, machine learning, distributed processing,
security, etc.
This discipline, offering B.tech ,M.S and Ph.D courses, focuses
mainly on fundamentals of building physical devices and exploring
the mathematical sides of EE. The EE Department has active
collaborations with numerous industries and academic institutions,
both in India and abroad.
With faculty from varying research backgrounds, the department
encourages multi-disciplinary researchallied with computer
science, applied physics, biotechnology, chemistry and
computation. Undergraduate and graduate students study and work on
some of the exciting research problems in a wide variety of
subjects, both theoretical and experimental.
The faculty at EE Department are mainly working in the areas of
next generation wireless communication such as IoT, 5G and beyond,
communication networks, performance modeling, resource allocation,
sensors, circuits and devices, control engineering, machine
learning and deep neural networks, signal processing, power
systems and power electronics.
Since its inceptionin the year 2016, the Department has been
offering a four-year B.Tech. programme at the undergraduate level.
At the postgraduate level, the Department offers research programs
such as MS (by Research) in Mechanical Engineering and PhD
programs.
The department’s curriculum is an assemblage of
core mechanical engineering, basic sciences and interdisciplinary
courses backed by an array of hands-on laboratory courses. The
curriculum is well tailored to fit the requirements of industry
4.0 and to promote practice-oriented learning along with
conceptual understanding.
The faculty of the Department come
from a wide-ranging academic background and work on an expansive
list of core and interdisciplinary research areas.The Department
is poised to take on both global as well as local problems such as
energy technologies for sustainable environment, healthcare and
agricultural technologies, and other key needs of the nation.
The new B.Tech. programme in Engineering Physics aims to be a multidisciplinary programme for which necessary knowledge input is from various disciplines like Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering, and Humanities and Social Sciences. The B.Tech. programme in Engineering Physics will contribute to the capacity building in some of the frontier areas like, a)Quantum communication and computation b)Information security c)Engineering materials d)Atmospheric and ocean science, etc.
