B.Tech degree course of four year duration in Instrumentation & Control Engineering (ICE) introduced in 2002 by JNT University is an industry oriented course. Instrumentation and Control engineering is a vast engineering field which contains various methods implemented to manufacture products to fulfill required specifications. Its implementation ranges from application of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computers, Mechanical & Communication for measurement & controls.

This branch of Engineering revolves around characteristics of equipment to meet required specification of the processes. This branch of engineering is applied in various sectors like industry, medicine, agriculture, power, petroleum, chemical etc.

Instrumentation is a very broad area with interdisciplinary course contents. There is a proliferation of a variety of Instrumentation systems for various industrial and control applications. There is hardly any area of Engineering, Science and Technology where Instrumentation is not being used.

As any process is becoming more and more automated, the need for a closer monitoring of inputs and control become more obligatory and the instruments at the component and sub - system levels tend to become more and more integrated. Full cognizance has been taken of this situation while planning curriculum in this area. Students do intensive use of microprocessors and Computers to understand the hardware and software aspects of Intelligent and Advanced Instrumentation.
Programme Educational Objectives:

To provide students with sound foundation in the mathematical, scientific & engineering fundamentals necessary to formulate, solve & analyze engineering problems & to prepare them for graduate studies.
To provide thorough knowledge in instrumentation & control engineering subjects including practical experience and preparation of physical models pertaining to electronics, Instrumentation & control engineering.
To provide experience in design and conducting experiments in the modern engineering laboratory including interfacing experiments with computer systems as well as interpreting the significance of resulting data.
To provide exposure to industry in the area of instrumentation & control engineering.
To provide training in soft skills in English language communication & to improve verbal & written skills, team building, interpersonal relationship, group discussion etc for job placements.

Course contents:

This young branch offers many courses in Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering apart from a variety of courses of Instrumentation like Modern control theory, Biomedical Instrumentation, Robotics, Industrial Electronics, Computer Controlled Instrumentation etc.
The students of ICE branch study 40% of Electronics subjects such as Electronic Devices & Circuits, Signals & Systems, Linear & Digital IC Applications, Switching Theory & Logic Design, Pulse & Digital Circuits, Digital Signal Processing, Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, Embedded & Real Time systems, VLSI Design etc. They also study 15% of Computers subjects such as C programming and Data Structures, Computer Organization, OOPS through JAVA etc. and 40% of Advanced Subjects on Instrumentation such as Digital and Optimal Control Systems, PC Based Instrumentation, Bio medical Instrumentation, Computer Aided Design of Control Systems, Robotics and Automation, Opto- Electronic and Laser Instrumentation etc.
The Laboratories included in ICE dept. Curriculum are Transducers & Instrumentation Lab, Industrial Instrumentation Lab, Analytical & Biomedical Instrumentation Lab, Process Control Lab, Microprocessor Lab, Embedded Systems Lab, Control Systems I,II & III Lab.

Infrastructure:
The ICE department is on the III floor of the main block with three classrooms & four laboratories with state-of-art equipment. The total amount spent to establish all the laboratories is about 55 Lakhs. The department has three classrooms equipped with overhead projectors. The department also has two LCD projectors, 2 CD writers, two scanners, 3 printers, 60 computer systems that are internet connected, one laptop with Wi-Fi connected. For departmental works, 2 systems with CD writer and Net facilities are provided in Dept. office room. The classrooms are well ventilated and furnished with black board, white screen, overhead projector,LCD projector etc. Separate Department library is maintained with standard reference text books.

Following Laboratories are established in ICE Dept. and are well equipped as per the curriculum requirements
