DEPARTMENT OF INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL ENGINEERING

Instrumentation plays an important role in almost all type of industries like electrical, electronics, mechanical, chemical etc. We can also say that no industry can run their operations without control systems and instruments to monitor their performance and maintain the same.

     With a view to serve the Indian industries, Sri Manakula Vinayagar Engineering College have started this important branch of Engineering in the year, 2002-03 with an initial maximum intake of 30.

     In this Instrumentation and Control Engineering curriculum, in addition to the basic Engineering in the first year, students are trained the following specialized areas of Engineering as per the Pondicherry University syllabus.

Facilities

 A separate department Instrumentation and Control Engineering is managed by qualified staff members. It has well equipped laboratories with the computer labs, latest instruments and equipment. The department has its own library to cater for the specific needs of students.

	TRANSDUCERS & MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS LAB        In this lab the students acquire knowledge on various transducers. Apart from transducers the students also gets experience in working with sensors for various process measurements. This imparts the students with the knowledge and working with transducer and sensor for various industrial applications.
Electronic Measurement and Instrumentation Lab             Electronics measurements& instrumentation lab is a state of act laboratory that provides the students hands on experience in analog and digital instrumentation techniques they require for selection and testing the instruments and accessories used in process plants and industries.
	Electronics Lab This lab provides the students the experience to work with various integrated circuits and integrated circuits oriented industrial application. The students will work with amplifiers, oscillators and all types of rectifiers. Also the students are imparted with practical knowledge of application of all circuits.
Industrial Instrumentation Lab In Industrial Instrumentation lab, the students are trained for calibrating various instruments like flow meter, conductivity meter, ph meter, pressure gauge, I to P and P to I converter, RTD, thermocouple, level transmitter etc. This lab is equipped with industrial application oriented meters like spectrophotometer, Viscometer etc.
	Process Control Lab                         Process control lab gives a close light on process like flow, level, temperature and pressure. It enables the students community to acquire industry compatible knowledge on control valves and commanding knowledge can definitely open up many doors for the students and it is real shot in the arm when they seek an employment.

Simulation Lab

The lab is well equipped with 30 PCs using powerful software tools like MATLAB, PSPICE, ALTERA etc.,  Simulation of control system experiments like Root locus, Bode plot, Nyquist plot, Nicholâs plot etc., are being conducted in this lab. Simulation of electronic circuits like amplifiers, oscillators, BTasing circuits for transistor and FET, filters and resonance circuits are also being done.         

The students of ICE has been placed in the following concerns
