Netaji Subash Institute of Technology (NSIT), Delhi, is one of the leading engineering college in the country.Reportedly Texas Instruments (TI) has launched a Center of Excellence for Embedded Product Development in institute. This is first time that Texas Instruments has set up such center in the country. The centre was inaugurated by Professor P V Indiresan, former Director, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Dr. C P Ravikumar, Technical Director – University Relations, TI India and Prof. Dhananjay Gadre, Professor of Electronics & Communication Engineering, NSIT will coordinate the working of the center.
The center will promote design of embedded products based on TI’s semiconductors. It will also promote design of educational solutions for teaching subjects on embedded systems. The center will conduct educational activities such as seminars and train-the-trainer workshops that will be open to teachers from other engineering colleges as well.
“It is very important to experiment and validate any theory before you make your judgement,” said Professor P V Indiresan at the launch. He further added, “One must question theories, only then can one become a good scientist.” Professor Indiresan also released a book titled ‘Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius’, co-authored by an NSIT alumnus.
TI will be closely associated with the working of the center. Seminars and courses will pertain to TI’s embedded processors and analog solutions such as, MSP430 and Stellaris® microcontrollers, energy harvesting, and low power wireless connectivity solutions. TI will donate the equipment, semiconductor tools and solutions to get the center started. Students of NSIT who work on product design activities at the center will be offered internships.
“Our main objective is to encourage and promote an ecosystem in the design of embedded products,” said Dr. C P Ravikumar, Technical Director – University Relations, Texas Instruments India. “The center will design products that are relevant to the Indian electronics industry and nurture talent in the area of embedded product design.”
Dhananjay Gadre, Professor of Electronics and Communication, NSIT and the Coordinator of the CoE said, “The launch of the Center formalizes the long association that NSIT has with Texas Instruments. We have produced educational products such as “Stellaris® Guru” and are now working on a number of interesting projects on MSP430 and Stellaris®. We thank Prof. Raj Senani, Professor of Electronics & Communication Engineering and also Director of NSIT, for his constant encouragement and support in this endeavor.”
TI’s attempt will be to bring an “open source” culture that allows electronic product manufacturers to pick up the designs from the center as they are and adapt them for production.
