    THE UNIVERSITY

    The M.S.University of Baroda is an internationally renowned university with about35,000 students drawn from all over the world. It is the only English mediumUniversity in the state of Gujarat. It has a central library with over six lakh titles.

    Other facilities include computer centre (with good internet access), swimming pool,health centre, sports club etc. The UGC has recognized several departments asCentres for Advanced Studies or as worthy of special assistance. The M.S. Universitystarted offering computer courses since the 1970's. With the help of Alumni, a highcapacity, state-of-the-art campus-wide computer network with Fiber Optic backboneis fast taking shape and will make the University one of the best connected campusesin the country.

    THE CITY

    The city of Vadodara, where the M.S.University is situated, is recognised as adistinguished educational and cultural centre in the country. It is one of the fastestdeveloping cities of Gujarat. During the past three decades, it has seen the emergenceof sophisticated industrial complexes including many large industrial units of the

    public sector. Its traditional industries are undergoing rapid changes under theinfluence of modern technology. Computer industry in Vadodara has a long historywith industries like ORG doing pioneering work since the 1960's. The modern ITindustry has also started taking roots here. Thus the environment in the Universityand the city is most conducive to the development of advanced computer and ITeducation to cater to the technical and managerial needs not only of the industries in

    this part but also other parts of the country.

    THE FACULTY

    Introduction

    Started as Kalabhavan technical institute in 1890, this is one of faculties of TheM.S.University of Baroda. The Faculty of Technology and Engineering hascompleted over 100 years of existence imparting excellent technical education startingfrom diploma in engineering to degree courses (BE, ME) and then upto Ph.D. invarious disciplines. The faculty comprises the departments of Civil Engineering,

    Mechanical Engineering, Textile Engineering, Electrical Engineering, ChemicalEngineering, Water Resources & Management Engineering, MetallurgicalEngineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Pharmacy, Architecture, TextileChemistry, Applied Mechanics, Applied Chemistry, Applied Mathematics & AppliedPhysics. The faculty of Technology and Engineering has grown enormously over theyears both in teaching and research. At present 3,300 undergraduates and postgraduate students are studying in the faculty. It also manages the academicfunctioning of Polytechnic, which is a unique system in this country.
