PREFACE
With rapidly changing industrial scene and technological advances that have taken place in
microelectronics, telecommunications and computer technologies the field of Instrumentation
and Control Engineering (ICE) has been revolutionalized. This needs upgradation and
updating the existing academic programmes, so that trained human resources are
competent to meet requirements of today’s industries. Accordingly the Department of
Instrumentation and Control Engineering has come forward to restructure the academic
programmes stipulated under the credit based system.
It is really challenging to evolve a common programme for this discipline that meets the need
of national and international industries and research establishments. However, with the rich
experience of successful experimentation with above idea for over forty years, the task of
development of a model curriculum could be possible.
The suggested curriculum is based on philosophy presented by the Dean (Academic
Programmes) during the Senate meeting of the institute. It possesses the following features:
The suggested curriculum is in conformity with IIT/AICTE norms with emphasis on analysis
and design of industrial processes required to work in control environment.
The graduates turned out have to be acceptable by national and international industry and
academic / research establishments.
The programme has to be forward looking in context of the rapid changing scenario of
science and technology which provides a proper balance in teaching of basic sciences,
social sciences and management, engineering sciences and technical arts, technologies and
their applications. Core subjects have been selected to cover all those, which are essential
in training of ICE graduates.
The curriculum presents flexibility so that new programmes started with reasonable sources
can be managed with a scope of further updating as the resource position improves.
The above features have been achieved by offering a number of electives courses both
departmental and open in nature.
I take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation to members of the Senate for their
valuable suggestions and critical comments in finalizing the curriculum and Professor SK
Das, Director, NIT Jalandhar for his initiative and direction. I am also grateful to Dr HK
Verma, Ex-Director, IIT Roorkee and Prof. Vinod Kumar, IIT Roorkee for suggesting
essential ingredients, which needs to be incorporated. It is hoped that the curriculum
complied in form of the booklet will be of immense help to the students and the faculty in
smooth offering the under graduate programme in Instrumentation and Control Engineering.
I thank all the members of curriculum committee and the faculty of ICE Department for help
and cooperation rendered in bringing out this booklet in time.
