Embedded System
Why Embedded is must for students now?

Millions of products in our everyday life today have some form of embedded
software in them. Home appliances, automobiles, wireless devices and consumer
electronics devices are just a few examples.
In this embedded domain involves, software development, design and
manufacture and even re-engineering of new and existing reference designs,
development of device drivers, wired and wireless stacks and even porting of
network protocols.
To design tomorrow's Embedded System today industry needs over a million
professionals in this field by 2010.

Because…
Corporations need trained professionals for design and implement embedded software in electronic
instrumentation hardware.
Consulting firms need embedded specialists, engineers and technicians to provide professional
expertise for corporations and government agencies.

Robotics
Why Robotics?

A robotics technology is making life easier for humans. Robots are more powerful and
less susceptible to natural effects than humans. Robots can go into space, deep into the
earth, far underwater, and into extreme temperatures in order to do tasks that cannot
ordinarily be done. Individuals can put their technical and creative skills to use in
designing and developing robotics technology that builds, manufactures, repairs, and
helps people do the things that were not previously feasible.
WFS (World Future Society) have chosen the robot industry as one of the 10 most
epochal field that will change the 21st century and is predicted to become as big as the automobile industry
by the year 2020.

“Robots marching into your life”

A Robot in Every Home

“The leader of the PC revolution predicts that the next hot field will be
robotics “By Bill Gates

What you will learn?

“Create your own robot”

The course involves making of a robot from scratch. During the workshop you will be exposed to
programming in 8051 Microcontroller. At the end of the workshop you would have constructed your own
robot. The workshop clears concepts related to embedded systems, artificial intelligence, robotics and
automation.

Why Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology - A Future Technology with Visions

Nanotechnology is increasingly considered to be the future technology. Nanotechnology

provides access to the world of the smallest things. The possible applications of this
technology are immense. Nanotechnology is dealing with research and the construction
in the sphere of very small structures: one nanometre is one millionth of a millimetre.
Moreover it is playing with the atoms. The worldwide need for nanotechnology workers
is expected to reach 2 million by 2015.

News article comment:-

"There is an important message here for all of us to nurture young talent for all scientific research work,
particularly in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. With 540 million youth in India, we have to hone skills of
youth at the graduate, post-graduate and Ph.D levels,”By Dr. Kalam

Careers in Nanotechnology includes

Research Associates ØMass Spectrometer Specialist

Quantum Transport Specialists ØResearch Scholar
Nanotech specialists ØApplication Specialists
Analytical Chemist ØElectronic Structure Specials

What you will learn?

“It's small small world”

This involves the wider perspective of Designing, Modeling, Simulation & Visualization of Nanoproducts
using Nano-IT softwares tools as per the industry standards. Essentially the ability to control the atomic and
molecular building blocks of material, nanotechnology will be applied to change or create chemical,
electronic, magnetic, optical, and structural properties in materials or nanostructures. For the first time,
we have included Physical hardware kits for hands on practice.
