Our Tribute to Great Pioneers
JAMES CLERK MAXWELL
The founder of Electromagnetic theory of Radiation. His theoretical prediction of the existence of Electric and Magnetic
fields associated with wave propagation carrying energy of electromagnetic nature was a break through in the history of science. A new era of
electromagnetism was thus opened by this great scientist.
HEINRICH HERTZ Experimentally demonstrated the generation, propagation and detection of electromagnetic waves. Thus he gave a firm experimental support for the theoretical conclusions drawn by James Clerk
Maxwell.
JAGADISH CHANDRA BOSEThe First Indian Scientist who marked his footprints in the world of Electromagnetics. In fact, Bose generated millimeter waves using a circuit developed in his laboratory and used these waves for communication, much earlier than the western scientists. He also developed microwave antennas (horns) which are still considered to be ideal feeds

ABOUT DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS THE UNIVERSITY OF COCHIN instituted the Department of Electronics in the year 1975. This is envisaged as a postgraduate Department with Master’s degree and Ph.D. programmes in frontier fields of electronics. The Department was inaugurated by Prof. M. G. K. Menon in 1975. Realising the growing needs of trained manpower in various fields of Electronics, the University decided to start teaching programmes in the Department, anticipating formal approval of the University Grants Commission, All India Council for Technical Education etc. in due course. Initially, an M.Tech. Course was started with student strength of 6. This course has a unique aspect in the sense that the students spend their last semester in industries and R & D organizations. Their project work during this period will be supervised by senior officers/scientists of these organizations as ‘external guides’. The progress made by these students in all these years is very encouraging and the interaction between the organizations and the Department is quite active. Subsequently the student strength was raised to 15, including 3 sponsored candidates. In 1983, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) extended financial support to the M.Tech. course. Special allocations of funds were granted for building, furniture, equipment, workshop, library, and other essential requirements. All students satisfying specific requirements including GATE score get Govt. of India’s scholarship of Rs.2500/‐ per month. In 1985, the student strength has been raised from 12 to 20 in the general category and 3 to 5 in the sponsored category. The doctoral programmes of the Department are mainly in the fields of Ocean Electronics, Microwave propagation and Antennas, Pattern recognition, Microprocessor applications, Signal Processing, Neural Networks etc. External agencies like the Department of Science and Technology (Govt. of India), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Atomic Energy Commission, Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and the State Government are supporting this Department through various research projects and Research Fellowships. The Department of Electronics has well‐equipped Centre for Research in Electromagnetics and Antennas (CREMA), centre for Ocean
