The Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Delhi has launched its first course in the EE+X format BTech programme - Electronics and VLSI Engineering (EVE) Electronics Engineering. The EE in EE+X stands for Electronics Engineering, and the "X" stands for some other field of knowledge or technology that compliments electronics engineering.
This is in addition to the existing Electronics and Communication Engineering programme. The curriculum for the EVE program was prepared after much discussion with the industry and academicians. It will prepare a student to undertake careers in industry, pursue advanced studies for research careers, or undertake entrepreneurial activities involving innovation and problem-solving.
IIIT-Delhi is also exploring ways to expose EVE students to semiconductor manufacturing (fabrication) and is planning to set up a fabrication facility or forge partnerships with existing facilities in the region. This exposure will further distinguish the students from the graduates from other institutes'' says Anuj Grover, an associate professor of the ECE department at the institute.
