Instrumentation-precisely is the measurement and control of various parameters in any system. It is fascinating motley of multifarious disciplines of technology such as process control, electrical, electronic and mechanical measurements and transducer engineering. This department offers Instrumentation Engineering at P.G level, Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering at U.G level and Ph.D / MS (by research) for both regular and part time scholars. The curriculum is formulated with the motto of making the students aware of the current industrial standards. With this prefect blend of industrial exposure, coupled with good technical base, our students have made their presence felt in various technological domains in all the top-level industries. Another fact that catapults the fame of the department to great heights is the strong bond between the students, Professors and Alumni.

Brief Write up on Current Research Projects:

Development of generalized likelihood Ratio Approach based on-line Fault-Detection and Identification Scheme for a Multivariable System.

Conventional Research in process control has mainly focused on the design of controllers and many sophisticated control algorithms have been successfully developed and implemented on chemical processes. These algorithms have been developed under the assumption that the measuring elements and actuating elements associated with the control loop are of high reliability and will not fail. In practice, however, faults can occur either in processing equipment or in auxiliary equipment such as actuators or sensors. These can result in improper control of the process and can have a serious impact on the plant economy, product quality and safety, productivity and pollution level. To overcome these problems without interrupting process operation over a sufficiently long period, it is necessary to develop automated methods for online assessment of the process performance, diagnose the cause for the performance degradation, and evolve an online strategy for performance recovery from the degraded condition. The principal objective of the work is to develop fault-tolerant control strategies, which can maintain an acceptable level of control performance despite the occurrence of soft faults and hard faults.



FPGA Implementation Adaptive control scheme


Currently, industry uses software for adaptive controller where the logic is executed sequentially. This project aims at developing embedded adaptive controller and the hardware implementation of the same in FPGA’s. Hardware implementation of the same will provide improved performance with faster execution. The control logic can be reprogrammed any number of times.

Development of a Medical Device for the assessment of tissue stiffness:


Assessment of tissue stiffness is a significant procedure for surgical decision for the posts operative treatment. Currently only few attempts are made for such measurements, the existing procedure is only subjective and is performed by palpation. In this work, it is proposed to design and develop a device to assess the stiffness of soft tissues for a surgical assistance.
