Electro-Technology
Network analysis is a structured technique used to mathematically analyze a circuit. Most electrical networks are very complex. To analyze them, circuit theorems, techniques and laws are really important. Superposition Theorem, Thevenin Theorem, Norton Theorem, Maximum Power Transfer Theorem, Substitution Theorem, Millman Theorem and Reciprocity Theorem are the fundamental laws used for network analysis. All these circuit theorems help us to find the basic electrical parameters like voltage and current in a simpler way.
This course is designed to help students to understand the fundamentals of network analysis including three phase systems, reactive power compensation and filters.
After completing this course, students will have fundamental knowledge on the network techniques, like node analysis and loop analysis, to write equations for large linear circuits.
Electrical Actuators
Electric motors involve rotating coils of wire which are driven by the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field on an electric current. They transform electrical energy into mechanical energy and they can be classified into direct current or DC and alternating current or AC motors. DC or AC is a very common term which refers to how the electrical current is transferred through and from the motor. Both types of motors have different utilities and uses.
This course is designed to help students to understand the constructional features and operation of motors and its interfacing to microcontrollers including linear electro-pneumatic actuators and smas (muscle wire) and solenoids.

Robot Mechanics
Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. Robots have some kind of mechanical construction, electrical components which power and control the machinery and some level of computer programming code. The vast majority of robots use electric motors, often brushed and brushless DC motors in portable robots or AC motors in industrial robots and CNC machines.

After completing this course, students will have expert knowledge on the recent developments in robot mechanics.
Robot Kinematics
Kinematics specifies the joint parameters and computes the configuration of the chain. For serial manipulators this is achieved by direct substitution of the joint parameters into the forward kinematics equations for the serial chain. The essential concept of forward kinematic is that the positions of particular parts of the model at a specified time are calculated from the position and orientation of the object, together with any information on the joints of an articulated model.
This course is designed to help students to understand the concept and use of a homogenous transformation matrix including kinematics of industrial robots and spherical wrist.
After completing this course, students will have expert knowledge on the basic principles of robot kinematics, dynamics, sensing and actuation, and control.
Analog Circuit Design
With advances in power electronics, need for dc power supplies in integrated circuits (ICs) and digital circuits has increased tremendously. Power electronics finds wide application in power utility systems and uninterruptible power sources, to increase the efficiency of the system. In industries, it is used to control the motors running at variable speed and also to reduce the harmonics. Thus a professional knowledge on operation of power electronic devices is a must for a technical staff working in high power application system.
This course is designed to help students to understand the fundamental principles and working of various power devices and power converters, derive converters mathematical relations, examine and design electronics for the control of energy converters.
After completing this course, will be familiar with the current trends and emerging applications of semiconductor devices that offer higher efficiency and higher power density.
Digital Circuit Design
Digital circuits are the basic blocks of modern electronic devices like mobile phones, digital cameras, microprocessors and several other devices. To be effective, technical staff should be well versed with the performance analysis of digital circuits and to design high performance circuits.
This course is designed to help students to understand the basic concepts of digital number systems and logic circuits and also to differentiate between combinational and sequential circuits such as decoders, encoders, multiplexers, demultiplexers, flip- flops, counters and registers.
After completing this course, students will be able to verify the functions of various digital integrated circuits and start writing HDL codes for various digital circuits.
Machine Vision
Machine vision has progressed in leaps and bounds since the disappointments in the eighties with tremendous results achievable today. Nowadays, machine vision systems are highly effective and a key part of many industrial systems ranging from mineral processing to manufacturing. It provides an intensive introduction to the process of generating a symbolic description of an environment from an image and also offers many opportunities for process optimization.
