Madras Institute of Technology - UG Departments

UG Departments

• Department of Aerospace Engineering - The oldest Department in the Country offering Aeronautical Engineering education at the undergraduate level. The Department has been functional since 1949 and its alumni have made significant contributions to the development of aerospace technology in the Country. In keeping with the needs of time, the Faculty of Aeronautics transformed itself into a Department offering 4-year undergraduate and post-graduate programmes in Aeronautical Engineering with revised and periodically updated curriculum. However there has not been modernization of infrastructure and today the department lacks up-to-date laboratories in the core areas of aerodynamics, structures and propulsion. Division of Avionics belong to this department which specialises in ME & MS(Research) courses.

• Department of Automobile Engineering - This is also one of oldest departments offered by the college since its inception. The college offers both UG and PG courses. The annual student intake is 45.The current president of AEA (Automobile Engineering Association) is Mr.Devaradjane. SAE also has its collegiate club in this dept. The Department of Automobile Engineering at MIT was started in the year 1949 and was offering a three year (undergraduate Programme) in Automobile Engineering for Science graduates (B.Sc). Subsequently, on the formation of Anna University in 1978, MIT has become one of the constituent institutions of the University and hence, the Department has also become a department of Anna University. The postgraduate Programme was started in 1978. This is the only pioneering Institute which is offering both UG and PG Programmes in Automobile Engineering in the whole of India, besides offering MS (by research) and Ph.D. Programmes. From 1996 onwards a 4 year B. Tech undergraduate programme for students of higher secondary education is being offered. Besides the academic activities, the department is dynamically involved in the programmes of “CENTRE FOR AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH AND TRAINING” (CART).

• Department of Information Technology-The department of Information Technology was established in the year 2000.The branch of "Information Technology" has an intake strength of 120 every year (recently 2007-08 increased). The department has well connected facilities and good faculty strength. This is the department which gives a lot of job opportunities for the people belonging to every department in the college. The department includes a UG and PG running in parallel and the research areas include Grid computing, XML technologies, Networking and connectivity protocols, network security and Databases. The Department is headed by Dr.V. Vaidehi

• Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering - The department of Electronics Engineering established in the year 1949 has its core strength in the area of Electronics & Communication technology. This is the largest department of the MIT campus of Anna University, which has about 25 faculty members serving about 400 undergraduate students and 100 postgraduate students. The cutting edge research areas include Communication Technologies, Wireless Communication, Network Security, Sensor Networks, Optical Communication, Avionics, Signal Processing, Image Processing & Pattern Recognition and VLSI. The department has colloborative partners from academia and industry both locally and worldwide. The Department is headed by Dr. Mala John.

• Department of Instrumentation Engineering - The department of Instrumentation Engineering,which was started in 1949, offers Instrumentation Engineering at PG level, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at UG level and Ph.D. and M.S. (by Research) for both regular and Part-time scholars. This curriculum is formulated with motto of making the students aware of the current Industrial standards. With this perfect blend of industrial exposure, coupled with good technical base, our students have made a presence in various technological domains in all the top level industries.

• Department of Computer Technology-The department of Computer Technology was established in the year 2010.The branch of "Computer Technology" has an intake strength of 120 every year(UG). The department has well connected facilities and good faculty strength. This is the department which gives a lot of job opportunities for the people belonging to every department in the college. The department includes a UG and PG running in parallel and the research areas include Cloud Computing,Grid computing, XML technologies, Networking and connectivity protocols, network security and Databases,E-learning,Multimedia,Video Streaming etc. The Department works on the Golden Jubilee Block of MIT. The Department is headed by Dr.P. Jayashree

• Department of Production technology - The department of Production Technology was started with three year B. Tech production engineering programme (for B.Sc. graduates) in the year 1977 with an intake of 20 students and M.E programme in the year 1993. The dept offers B. Tech in Production Engg & ME in manufacturing Engg, Mechatornics Engg. It also offers part-time UG programs in the areas of Mechanical Engg, Production Engg & PG programme in Manufacturing Engineering . For the first time in our country a PG programme in M.E Mechatronics was started in the year 1999 with an intake of 15 students. The department was awarded A5 grade in 1997-98 (Highest grade for 5 years) by the National board of Accreditation. The department has organized 9 national level seminars and 3 summer/winter schools and a number of short term programs in the areas of low cost automation CNC machines & programming and fluid power automations. The Department is headed by Mr.Jothilingam.

• Department of Rubber & Plastics Technology - The department of Rubber & plastics is one of the pioneering departments of the legendary institution MIT. The department was started in 1988 with an aim to ensure that each student coming into contact with the faculty develops his/her versatility to emerge as the fittest in this ever changing industrial scenario. The aim to mould personalities sharing a strong bonding with the humanity blended with the art of self empowerment.
