Instrumentation & Control Engineering(IC) department was introduced in 2001 with intake of 60. IC Department has qualified and experienced faculty members few of whom have filed patents on their research work and published research papers in reputed journals having good impact factor and also published books with international publishers. Many faculties have also received travel grants from DST, GUJCOST, GTU etc. for presenting papers in international conferences in various countries like China, Canada, Turkey, Malaysia. The department regularly upgrades the laboratories with latest instruments such as Siemens and ABB PLC, ABB DCS, NI Elvis DC motor kit, SBHS kits and software’s such as LABVIEW, MATLAB, PSIM Simulator, Multisim, Scilab etc. The department has well equipped process control laboratory with level control, pressure control, cascade control, Ratio control as well as heat exchanger and various pneumatic kits. I & C Department has signed MOUs with number of companies in and around Baroda. These companies help in students project work, training, arranging Expert Lectures, seminars and campus placement. Department has successfully completed various projects funded by GUJCOST, IIPC, and IETE. Department has its own library with good reference books, magazines, journals and wide collection of various teaching aids. Under the ISA Students Chapter, the department organizes Seminars, Expert lectures and Workshops for students of the Department. The faculties regularly conduct quiz in lectures and laboratories to test the knowledge of students. The online objective type Fundamental Technical Knowledge Test (FTKT) is conducted at the end of the semester for each subject. All the students have to give two seminars in each semester. The department conducts mock placement which includes aptitude test, group discussion, and personal interviews to prepare students for the placement. Senior faculties of the department conduct lecture on research paper writing and patent drafting. The IDP/UDPs of final year students are continuously evaluated by industry experts during mid semester project review process.
