Department of ECE shares the joy with BincyS.James, selected as Network Support Engineer in Mahindra Satyam at the recruitment drive held at St.Michael College of Engineering and Technology on 12.3.11.

An Industrial visit has been arranged for II & III year ECE students to Air Force Station, Sulur on 17th and 18th March,2011. The Objective of the visit is to introduce the students to

-Base repair activities(Major repair) pertaining to AVRO(HS748) and Dornier aircraft including various bay servicing and non-destructive testing methods

-Mobile and Static calibration and repair of all types of testers pertaining to various aircraft and systems of IAF

-Operational units of AN-32 and Advanced Light Helicopters (Dhruv) of IAF.

In the 10th sports day held in our college, students of Department of ECE bagged  the overall champions Shield for the 5th consecutive year. We wish them good luck for the forthcoming years.

A research group led by scientists from the University of Bristol has demonstrated the quantum operation of new components that will enable compact circuits for future photonic quantum computers.

Quantum computers, holding the great promise of tremendous computational power for particular tasks, have been the goal of worldwide efforts by scientists for several years. Tremendous advances have been made but there is still a long way to go.
Building a quantum computer will require a large number of interconnected components -- gates -- which work in a similar way to the microprocessors in current personal computers. Currently, most quantum gates are large structures and the bulky nature of these devices prevents scalability to the large and complex circuits required for practical applications.

Recently, the researchers from the University of Bristol's Centre for Quantum Photonics showed, in several important breakthroughs, that quantum information can be manipulated with integrated photonic circuits. Such circuits are compact (enabling scalability) and stable (with low noise) and could lead in the near future to mass production of chips for quantum computers.

Now the team, in collaboration with Dr Terry Rudolph at Imperial College, London, shows a new class of integrated divides that promise further reduction in the number of components that will be used for building future quantum circuits.

These devices, based on optical multimode interference (and therefore often called MMIs) have been widely employed in classical optics as they are compact and very robust to fabrication tolerances. "While building a complex quantum network requires a large number of basic components, MMIs can often enable the implementation with much fewer resources," said Alberto Peruzzo, PhD student working on the experiment.

Until now it was not clear how these devices would work in the quantum regime. Bristol researchers have demonstrated that MMIs can perform quantum interference at the high fidelity required.

Scientists will now be able to implement more compact photonics circuits for quantum computing. MMIs can generate large entangled states, at the heart of the exponential speedup promised by quantum computing.

"Applications will range from new circuits for quantum computation to ultra precise measurement and secure quantum communication," said Professor Jeremy O'Brien, director of the Centre for Quantum Photonics.

The team now plans to build new sophisticated circuits for quantum computation and quantum metrology using MMI devices.
 

Date of Visit: 1st March 2011

Visit to: Aerodrome, Madurai.

Visitors involved: III ECE Students

Basic purpose of visit: To introduce Communication, Navigation and Surveillance
systems

Activities conducted: The visit lasted for about 3 hours. The students were explained about ground to air communication, air to ground communication, How the glide angle and central line informations were given to pilots before take-off and landing. The site visit took about 1 hour after which the discussion covered the latest flight information display system, X-ray scanning of registered baggages.

Outcomes from Visit:
The students were exposed to real-time application of various modulation techniques, Concepts of Antennas, Impedance matching etc. and also to job scopes for Electronics and communication engineers with Airport Authority of India.

A Guest Lecture was organized by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering on 25-2-11 at the conference hall of Vickram College of Engineering for II and Pre-Final year students. The Resource Person was Mr. Srinivas Balu, Managing Director, M/S Raajham Infosys, Madurai.The program commenced with the welcome address given by B.Saravanan of Pre-Final Year, ECE . After that the Resource Person gave his presentation on 'Changing Global Scenario in the Field of Communication and Information Technology.' He started his presentation with the explanation on Wireless Communication and Wireless Networks. He further explained in detail to the students about the function and application of WiLAN, Wifi and Wimax.The students clarified their doubts in this domain and explored the scope in this area. They also discussed about the possibilities of doing project in this field. The last session of his presentation focused on fostering attitudinal skill for a successful professional life.The program came to the end with the vote of thanks proposed by B. Haritha of II year ECE

.

Department of ECE congratulate the following final year students who have been selected by Cruiseline Ship Management private limited in the recruitment drive conduted at Sacs MAVMM Engineering college from31st Jan-2nd Feb as Electro-technical officer.

BEST WISHES!!

Date of Visit:14.2.11 & 15.2.11.
Visit to: Tuticorin Port, Tamil Nadu.
Visitors involved: II ECE(60 students), III ECE(58 students).
Basic purpose of visit: To introduce signaling and communication concepts to the students, to impart practical knowledge.
Activities conducted: The visit lasted for about 6 hours. A good explanation was given with introduction to RADAR,how the ships are allowed to enter the port, How the pilot boat does legal verification ,clearance from traffic station, availability of free berth etc.The visit also includes on-board ship seeing which really enthralled the students.
Outcomes from Visit:
Overall it was a good experience for the students. The visit gave them a practical knowledge of signaling and communication.
 

Congratulations to Guruprasanna! One more graduate belongs to 2006-2010 batch is placed with   'COGNIZANT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS’. He has finished his Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communication in 2010. He had registered his name with Cognizant online. Written test, technical interview and HR rounds were there. Technical interview was focused on C and C++. The last round was HR in which he had to come up with his strengths and weakness and also about CTS.

Congratulations!!!. All the best!!!
