Such a system is called an Embedded System. Examples are Tele-communication systems, chemical-processing plants, transportation systems such as aircraft and automobile, bio-medical instruments and home appliances like microwave oven and washing machines. The characteristics of Embedded system are that they are designed to do certain specific tasks often in real time satisfying certain performance requirements. It is achieved through the controllers and software called firmware stored in read only memory of the controller. The vast majority of control systems built today is embedded, that is, they rely on built-in, special - purpose microcontroller. Some systems contain large number of controllers. In such settings, controllers often use shared network to communicate with each other and with large numbers of sensors and activators scattered throughout the system. The design of Embedded controller and the intricate, automated communication network that support them raises many new problems - theoretical and practical - about network protocols, compatibility of operating systems, and ways to maximise the effectiveness of the embedded hardware.

The power system involves the study and analysis of generation, transmission and distribution fields. But this is a conventional approach. The present day trend has been undergoing number of changes globally. This includes flexible ac transmission, two terminal and multi terminal dc links embedded in the conventional ac transmission networks etc. So conventional Power system is to be redefined and power electronic components are also to be added to the existing system. Then only the modern power system can exist in its fullest meaning. Further, as our global population and its appetite for energy rise drastically, resource depletion and global warming have become the most pressing issues facing humanity today. Scientists and experts agree that the use of renewable energy such as solar and wind power, coupled with higher efficiency and conservation, will be key factors in preserving our quality of life and paving the way to a sustainable world for future generations. The power industry faces many new problems, with one of the highest priority issues being reliability that is bringing not only a steady, uninterruptable power supply but also ensuring a quality supply to electricity consumers. The restructuring and deregulation of electric utilities together with recent progress in technology introduce unprecedented challenges and opportunities for power & energy systems research and open up new opportunities to young Power Engineers. The energy conservation act has boosted this requirement of qualified professionals in the area of energy audit in the Country. This M.Tech program will address the above mentioned challenges of Power Industry.

The increasing demand for better performance and shrinking sizes of modern electronic appliances such as mobile phones and laptops is making the task of electronic design highly challenging. Currently engineers are required to bring out new designs with very short lead times. This has led to the automation of design process at all levels with a host of sophisticated software tools being used for designing and validating modern IC chips. The M. Tech programme in VLSI Design aims to cater to the increasing demand for highly skilled VLSI professionals. A large number of our M.Tech alumni are working in leading VLSI Design houses or pursuing research programmes in many prestigious institutions in India and abroad. The curriculum is designed to balance theoretical content and practical skills. Apart from basic courses in subjects such as Digital Integrated Circuits and Digital Design, the curriculum covers a wide range of areas such as Analog and Mixed VLSI design, Device Modeling, VLSI Testing, Low Power Design, VLSI Fabrication, VLSI Computer Aided Design, Embedded Systems etc. The curriculum includes extensive lab courses to impart training in use of modern VLSI Design Software and Implementation Technologies such as FPGAs. The students are required to do an individual project during the third and fourth semesters that has sufficient potential for an international journal publication. The Department has a dedicated VLSI Laboratory with the latest EDA software under the Synopsys University Program and the Mentor Graphics Higher Education Programme. The Lab is also equipped with Xilinx and Altera FPGA boards. Students also have opportunity to pursue their project either in-house or in reputed organizations.

It is envisaged that at the end of the program, the student would be in a position to understand the fundamental biological and engineering processes involved as well as to develop creative ideas for the early detection and identification of various biological signals. It is also expected that the student of the program would be able to come up with algorithms for the successful and objective interpretation of biological data. The course deals with biomedical electronics, the quantitative and analytical skills required to interpret the data acquired and the processing of medical data including imaging and enhancement techniques. It is intended to equip the engineer with the skills and knowledge required to interact knowledgeably with medical practitioners so that both professions may benefit. It goes without saying that the program is interdisciplinary, drawing content from a variety of areas like chemistry, medicine, physics, electronics and mechanical engineering, to name a few. Medical practice has become highly sophisticated, relying heavily on machines, for diagnosis and support. Modern hospitals therefore, require competent biomedical engineers, who can help the medical personnel, communicate with the highly complex equipment and make sense of the bewildering variety of information provided by them. Biomedical engineers are also in demand with equipment manufacturers, who require experts who are well versed with both the engineering and medical aspects of their equipment. Moreover, with the increase in automation and computerization of medical diagnosis and treatment, biomedical engineering offers ample scope for research in diverse areas like instrumentation, signal and image processing, biomaterials and biomechanics. As such, a student of the post graduate program in biomedical engineering can expect to have bright career prospects, be it in the industry, academia or research. Amrita University with its world-class facilities, multi-disciplinary programs, highly qualified, diverse and motivated faculty, is ideally equipped to offer an advanced program in this cutting edge area of technology. It is expected that at the end of the program, the student would be equipped with the knowledge and the skills required to become a truly world-class biomedical engineer, ready to embark on a career in either the industry or to undertake independent research.
