Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 1 EE Department, I.I.T Bombay Communication Group Activities & Strengths

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 2 One of the most active in the institute. The largest in terms of student strength (approximately 320 undergraduates and 300 postgraduates) The Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 3 Communications and Signal Processing Control & Computing Electronic Systems Micro Electronics Power Electronics and Power Systems. Most faculty members in the dept belong to more than one specialization - cross disciplinary activity being one of the main strengths of the dept. Five main specializations at the post graduate level:

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 10 Antennas and Microwaves: DRDO, AICTE, ARDB, BRNS, Hitachi Metals, Aero-Marine, Kleinzaid, ECIL Fibre Optics: MHRD, AICTE, DOE Information Networks: DST, MHRD, Tata Infotech, Analog Devices, GE, Verifone, TI, Cirrus Logic, Switchon SPANN: Cirrus Logic, Texas Instruments, Tata Infotech, CE, Analog Devices, SASKEN, Aquila TI-DSP: TI, NRB, AICTE Projects from Industry

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 11 Strengthen the PhD programme Have a strong visitor programme Have a strong student and faculty exchange program Encourage entrepreneurship Have more collaborations with industry and government organizations Future

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 12 PhD programme: Presently (35 resident,45 external) Raise to (130 resident,80 external) Admission requirement - should be outstanding, basic degree in science. (willing to scout all over the country -talent hunting is fun!)

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 13 Treat them well Good work space - we have it now! Exposure to the world Exchange programmes with other universities, industries all over the world A strong visitor programme (researchers from all over the world staying with us, weeks to several months) PhD students

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay visitors at any given time Ph.D. students of Senior research other universities workers Academics Practitioners from industry/R&D organizations Rule = Excellence + Interaction with our faculty A strong visitor programme

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 15 The curriculum would encourage technological entrepreneurship Design projects taken to product level completion Dual Degree, M.Tech, B.Tech projects can aim towards entrepreneurial goals. Entrepreneurship
