Warangal: Faculty Development Programme to enlighten faculty, students

Warangal: The Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), Kakatiya Institute of Technology & Science Warangal (KITSW), will organise Faculty Development Programme (FDP) titled, 'Hands-on project based approach for biomedical signal analysis using MATLAB' in two phases –from December 28 to January 10, 2021 and from February 1 to 13. The FDP is being sponsored by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi.

Releasing the FDP brochure along with Prof and HoD of ECE Dr B Ramadevi here on Sunday, KITSW Principal Prof K Ashoka Reddy, who is also the coordinator of the FDP, said that the main objective of the programme is to train the faculty on Biomedical Signal analysis using MATLAB. Biomedical signal analysis is a scientific discipline as well as technology frontier, with immense applications. It is a growing research field where many revolutionary ideas and efficient algorithms have been developed over the past few decades, he said.

"This FDP will provide an opportunity to highlight recent trends and developments in the field of Biomedical signal processing. It will further give impetus to the participants towards bringing out newer and efficient techniques," Reddy said.

He said that the hands-on exercises with MATLAB software will open the door for programming in Biomedical signal processing. This training will also be beneficial to faculty to make the students to do projects in the field of biomedical signal processing. Faculty will get trained in the area of biomedical applications using MATLAB.

The faculty and the students who are interested to participate in the FDP are requested to contact Co-coordinators Assistant Professors, J Sheshagiri Babu and P Yugander, on or before 5 pm on December 26.
