About our Institute and the Department

The National Institute of Engineering (NIE), Mysore was established in

the year 1946 on the threshold of India’s independence. It is one of the premier

educational institutions in India, offering 8 undergraduate, 11 post graduate and

Doctoral programmes in engineering and technology.

The NIE is an autonomous institute affiliated to Visvesvaraya

Technological University (VTU), Karnataka. It has the distinction of having

among its alumni personalities in high positions, academicians, successful

researchers, industrialists, entrepreneur and leaders of world renown with their

contributions to the development and economic prosperity of our country. The

department has highly qualified faculty, with strong research background.

The Institute emphasizes on bridging gap between academics and industry

through development of centres of excellence in several areas of engineering

field with the support of industry partners and relevant state of the art facilities.

Presently NIE has 14 centers of excellence.

NIE has started M-Tech program in “Industrial Automation and

Robotics”, in the year 2011 which is an interdisciplinary course. This course is

designed to inculcate knowledge and skills to meet the demands of Automation

industries. The institute is in the process of establishing “Centre for Automation

Technology” (CAT) to support students and surrounding industries to develop

skills in the field of Automation Technology.

Introduction of M.Tech-Industrial Automation & Robotics

Programme

Industrial Automation is the process of following sequence of operations with

little or no human labour using specialized equipment and the devices that perform

and control manufacturing processes. It is the science that deals with designing,

creation and maintenance of robots which includes electronics, mechanical and

computer science engineering whose blend is called Automation & Robotics.

Opportunities

Career opportunities can open up in many an area ranging from automated appliances construction,

automobile industry, building materials industry environmental engineering, traffic management &

maintenance, medical engineering field, power and process industries, project engineering houses,

system integration houses, real time software development, communication software development etc.

The following are a few distinct career opportunities which open up on successful completion of this

curriculum.

The NIE is in the process of establishing “Centre for Automation

Technology” (CAT) to support students and surrounding industries to develop

skills in the field of Automation Technology. Also, this centre has been identified

as one of the competency development centre by consortium. NIE has already

signed MoUs with the below mentioned companies for starting CAT.

MOUs Companies:

Bosch Rexroth

• Fanuc India

• Siemens

• Festo Controls

• Felsomat India

• Schunk

• Pepperl and Fuchs

NIE is one the prestigious college selected by the consortium to develop

competency development center in the field of automation. This will enable the M.Tech

(IAR) students of NIE to get exposure by directly linking with industry experts &obtain

the guidance in their course and project areas. Association is in the phase of

standardizing curriculum. NIE has been identified as “Competency Development

Centre” (CDC) with the mandate to facilitate Campus Connect Programs andprovide

world class education in the field. This initiative has been taken, keeping in view the

need of Indian Manufacturing Segments growth.

NIE is in the process of developing Centre for Automation Technology

(CAT) with funding to the tune of Rs. 4crore. This initiative has been kick started with

funding by TEQIP –II, FIST-DST, KCTU,& KBITS Govt. of Karnataka

The facilities planned under CAT are:

PLC & SCADA Laboratory

Sensorics Laboratory

Robotics Studio

Drives & Controls Laboratory

FMS Laboratory

Software Laboratory

Facilitates Planned under Robotics Research Centre with the funding support

from KCTU are Articulated Robotic plat form, Robotic studio, and other necessary

software’s to build light weight through able robots for defense / security. e-vidya for

teaching learning and vaidya for old age support and medical areas.

The Main four pillars of CAT (Centre for Automation Technology) are shown in

the figure below

Collaboration with Foreign Universities

NIE has signed co-operative agreement with leading foreign universities, namely,

University of McMaster, Canada; OelWerme Institut (OWI), affiliated to

University of Aachen, Germany; and University of Kassel, Germany. These

collaborations provide opportunities for IAR students to take up academic visits

and higher studies in these universities.

Following students from M.Tech-IAR who visited Germany between 2011-14.

Following students from M.Tech-IAR who will be visiting Germany during

November 2015.
