What we're about:

Everything begins with an idea and every great idea starts with a spark. Such a spark was to fuse
the concepts of aerospace technology with the generic curriculum that gave rise to a student
club of its kind, the NEW HORIZON ROCKETRY CLUB, a multidisciplinary workspace for inquisi-
tive minds to brainstorm, collaborate and execute the potential ideas in the field of aerospace
technology. The club focuses on gaining knowledge and skills through team projects and works
on enhancing these acquired skills by conducting events and workshops for one's peers thereby
instigating curiosity in them too. The club intends on creating an open ground for all students to
share knowledge and grow together outside the classrooms.

Objective:
To demonstrate and implement the concepts of Aerospace Technology

The department is bestowed with well designed and well maintained infra-
structure. It is well equipped with interactive classrooms and laboratories with
latest equipment for students to experiment and state of the art facilities. The department also offers the VTU
research centre for Ph.D. and M.Sc. (Engg.), for research.The enthusiastic teaching fraternity of the department
besides being highly qualified, have the acumen to instil in students the urge to do better and bring out the
best in them. Most of them have considerable experience in academics
and research as.Few of them have industrial experience as well.The Elec-
tronics & Communication Engineering Program with its autonomous sta-
tus is re-designed to cater to the needs of industry. The courses focus on
intriguing areas like Embedded Systems, Communication, VLSI, Signal
Processing, and Information technologies. Industry-relevant technology
courses are a feather on the cap in the department.To run the same tech-
nology experts from reputed organization like IBM, HP, Texas Instru-
ments, Sankalp Semiconductors, Audience Communication, Intel, ISRO,
IISc. and other reputed institutes visit the department. The interaction of
students with the experts gives them a niche over their peers in a world
where technological growth and development is fast pacing and pre-
pares them to chalk out solutions for the real world problems.To keep
them updated on the technological scale, various workshops, seminars,
competitive events, conferences and industrial visits are also organized
on a regular basis.

To give them practical exposure and develop their technical and interpersonal skills the students of ECE depart-
ment are required to execute various projects throughout their studies. Also they’re motivated to publish re-
search papers, and participate in national and international conferences as well. They take the lead in planning
and executing various activities through Electronics Hobby Club, Technology Sharing Club, and Professional
Connect club which definitely gives them an enthralling experience. Furthermore the students also undergo
special placement training through value added programs. Most of them get placed in reputed organizations
such as Intel, Texas Instruments, AMD, Qualcomm, ARM, Schneider Electric, Bosch, Cisco Systems, Juniper Net-
works, Vmware, Sony, Nokia, Accenture, Cap Gemini, IBM, HP, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Mindtree and many more.
Some students pursue higher studies in Indian and foreign universities, while there are quite a few of them who
start their own ventures thereby contributing immensely in the growth of our society. As the famous quote
goes “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Students also engage themselves in cultural, sports and social
activities. Many have taken it one step ahead and won gold medals and several trophies in sports and cultural
events organized at different levels and several other institutions.Overall, the department provides a very posi-
tive and nurturing environment, for students to develop and grow into into knowledgeable, skilled and produc-
tive Electronics & Communication Engineers.
