In the Instrumentation and Control Engineering curriculum, an effort is made to cover not only the traditional Instrumentation and Control engineering techniques but the advanced Instrumentation and Control engineering techniques too. The Instrumentation and Control curriculum covers the following practical oriented courses.

Industrial electronics

Industrial Drives and Control

Process Instrumentation

Process Measurement

Process control

Transducers and Transmitters

Microprocessor based instrumentation

Electronics Instrumentation

PLSs, DAS, DCS, etc.

In order to strengthen the theoretical knowledge given to the students in the classroom, the department provides the well established laboratory facilities to the students, They include

Pulse and switching circuits

Microprocessor programming and Applications

Electronic Instrumentation /Circuits

Digital Techniques

Electronics communication

Process Instrumentation I and II

System Engineering and Product Design.

Industrial Devices and control

Measurement and Control Techniques.

Besides the above, the department is having the Computer Controlled Multiprocess Trainer which is a simulation of such industrial measurement and control techniques as flow, temperature and level measurement. The trainer also gives knowledge of such control techniques as feedback, ratio, cascade and feed forward control of process. Also, the students can access the computers as and when required during their project work.

Also, the experts from the industries are invited to conduct seminars / deliver lectures on real world instrumentation and control engineering techniques. This activities are done by the "ISA- Student section" started at GEC, Gandhinagar in Sept'97.

As a part of the curriculum the final year students do the project work during 7 and 8 semesters and thereby they show their ability to implement the theoretical as well as practical knowledge in their field of interest. For doing project work, the students are sent to the industries and it is necessary for the award of degree.
