these institutes for the expert service rendered for overall improvement of quality of

Technical Education System.

The focal activities of the Institute are (i) Education & Short-term Training, (ii)

Curriculum Development, (iii) Learning Resources Development, (iv) Research &

Development and (v) Extension Services & Consultancy.

AICTE has recognized the Short-term training programmes conducted by the Institutefor consideration for the purpose of movement to higher grades under the Career

Advancement Scheme (CAS).

The Institute is also offering three (3), AICTE approved, two year (four semester)

Post-graduate Degree Programmes in Manufacturing Technology, Multimedia &

Software Systems and Mechatronics Engineering, leading to M.Tech Degree of West

Bengal University of Technology (WBUT).

Some of the notable national level projects in which the Institute is associated are

serving as Nodal agency to Centrally sponsored Community Polytechnic Scheme;

Designing & conducting AICTE sponsored Induction Training Programme for fresh

teachers of engineering colleges and polytechnics; Facilitating implementation of

Centrally sponsored Scheme for Integrating Persons with Disabilities (PWD) in the

6.0 About the M.Tech Programme in Mechatronics Engineering :

6.1 Rationale:

Mechatronics is a design philosophy which encourages engineers to integrate

precision mechanical engineering, digital and analog electronics, control theory andcomputer engineering in the design of intelligent products, systems and processes

rather than engineering each set or requirements separately. The advantages of the

Mechatronics approach to design are shorter design cycles, lower costs, and elegant

solutions to design problems that cannot easily be solved by staying within the bounds

of the traditional engineering disciplines.


12/19

10

Mechatronics engineers have excellent employment prospects as the demand for

qualified professionals with multidisciplinary skills combining knowledge of

mechanical and electronic systems has increased in recent years. Professional

Mechatronics engineers are typically found in positions where they are responsible for

integrated computer controlled mechanical and electrical systems such as those found

in the manufacturing, mining, automation and processing industries.

6.2 Course Duration:

The M.Tech course is a 2-year 4 semester full-time course. The first two semesters

will cover theory and practical classes, while last two semesters will be fordissertation work.
