From the HOD's Desk:

Greetings from the Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering's Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering (ETE). The Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering is committed to producing technically proficient and socially responsible graduates, equipped to tackle the challenges of modern communication systems, embedded design, and digital electronics.
The Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering program is designed to provide students with a solid grounding in core areas such as signal processing, embedded systems, digital communications, VLSI design, RF engineering, and networking. The curriculum is frequently updated to reflect the latest industry trends and includes elective courses in 5G communications, Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning for signal processing, Software Defined Radio (SDR), Cognitive Radio, and cyber-physical systems.
The department is enriched by a team of highly qualified and experienced faculty members, most of whom hold Ph.D. degrees from reputed institutions and actively engage in research, publications, patents, and consulting. Faculty expertise spans diverse domains including Wireless Communication & 5G Networks, Signal & Image Processing, VLSI & Embedded Systems, Microwave and Antenna Design, Optical and Satellite Communication, Machine Learning & AI in Communication, RF and Analog Electronics.
Faculty members frequently mentor funded research projects supported by agencies such as AICTE, VGST, ISRO, KSCST, and several hold positions in academic bodies, standardization committees, and international review boards.
Our laboratories are equipped for practical excellence in areas such as Digital Signal Processing, Embedded Systems & IoT, Communication Theory and Simulation, VLSI and HDL Design, and Antenna & Microwave Engineering. Industry-grade tools such as MATLAB (with toolboxes), Cadence with AWR, ARM Development Studio, and SDR toolchains enable students and researchers to explore real-world problems through both simulation and hands-on implementation. In this field, roles such as Wireless Communication Engineer, VLSI Design Engineer, Network Engineer, and Embedded Systems Engineer are in high demand.
