The Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering provides students with valuable opportunities to interact with experts from reputed research institutions through various activities and interactive sessions.

A technical talk on “Emerging Trends in Radar Technology” was organized by Department Association of Electronics and Communication Engineering on 06 November 2026. The session was conducted for B.Tech students, and around 61 first year students participated. The program lasted for two hours.Dr. Manoj M. G.(Scientist – D, Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research (ACARR), Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT)) served as resource person

Objectives of the Program:

To introduce B.Tech students to the fundamentals of radar and radar remote sensing.
To create awareness of the applications of radar technology, including defence/military use and range finding.
To give students an opportunity to interact with an expert from a research institution.
To motivate students to explore research careers in the field of radar and remote sensing.

Dr. Manoj M. G. began with the fundamentals of radar and explained the working principle of the Doppler shift and its use in remote sensing. He then discussed the military applications of radar and the use of radar for range finding. The talk also gave an overview of radar remote sensing and its applications, and of the emerging trends in the field. The session was interactive, and the students clarified their doubts with the resource person. The session also introduced research careers in radar technology.

Ms. Ashitha P R (Asst Prof, ECE Dept) executed and co-ordinated the programme.

Program outcome:

Students gained a fundamental understanding of radar principles, Doppler shift, and range-finding techniques.
Students developed awareness of the military, remote sensing, and other practical applications of radar technology.
