School of Instrumentation

Introduction

School Of Instrumentation, DAVV

Year of Establishment : 1991

University Grants Commission set up the University Science Instrumentation Centre (USIC) at Devi Ahilya University in 1978 to encourage universities with a view to strengthen their technological infrastructure through collaborative efforts of the academic community of the university, to provide adequate infrastructural resources as developmental inputs to the universities and to nurture and spread the culture of instrumentation in the Higher Education System, and others. At present the USIC is of level II. The School of Instrumentation was established in year 1991 to begin with teaching programme: M. S. three semester course. Later on, in 1998, the AICTE approved the M. Tech. Programme with an intake of 18 students from engineering and science discipline. The School further initiated M. Sc. (Instrumentation) with an intake of 30 students. It is an independent School housed in a separate building with good infrastructure, equipped with modern equipments and machines in different laboratories and workshops. The School also offers Ph. D. programme. The existing curriculum has wide applicability to various disciplines, which require instrumentation background.

Message from Head

Instrumentation has been a subject of effective interest not only in the beginning of human society but also in the era of modern information communication technology. As a subject, instrumentation has now been taught in graduate programmes and a very large fraction of engineering and science graduates are serious for instrument technologies. Modern and commercial equipments have attracted the engineering graduates but to nurture the knowledge and exposure to make indigenous equipments have really made them to stand in the competitive scenario. In our school, we aimed at disseminating information on current trends and techniques of instrumentation from mechanical to biomedical discipline and towards smart sensors. Needless to mention that it is tough, but we make sincere efforts to create a pleasant ambience for the students to enjoy their stay. The architecture of several industries demands a sharing of deep sense of knowledge and education of the instruments. Training of students at industries and research and development organisations with effective infrastructure and technical support has made them as effective instrumentation technocrats and suitable for a wide range of jobs.
