Infrastructure & Facilities

Idea Development Evaluation and Application (IDEA) Lab:

AICTE has launched a scheme to establish AICTE-IDEA (Idea Development, Evaluation, and Application) Labs in its approved institutions to encourage students to apply Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fundamentals to gain more hands-on experience. NMIT is one among the selected institutes to establish IDEA Lab.

IDEA Lab, enables students to "engage, explore, experience, express, and excel" as desired by the Hon'ble Prime Minister following the announcement of National Education Policy 2020.

Dr. H C Nagaraj, Principal and Prof. (Dr.) T G Sitharam Chairman, AICTE, New Delhi during the inauguration of IDEA Lab.

Training Session

Facilities available in IDEA LAB:

Student Satellite (STUDSAT) Lab:

• The Satellite Research Centre was established in the year 2007. India's first PICO satellite STUDSAT1 was launched under the guidance of ISRO, in the year 2010, through a consortium of seven different Engineering colleges with NMIT as the lead, where in a PICO satellite weighing less than 1000 grams was launched into orbit using PSLV Rocket from Sri Hari Kota that used the camera as the payload.
•  The satellite bagged lot of recognition worldwide and was awarded with a trophy at an international conference.
• The centre has a ground station with a separate VHF and UHF antenna system along with an antenna rotator unit, Spectrum Analyzer, and a Vector Network Analyzer to collect the satellite data
• The centre is granted with two funded projects titled “Development of an Antenna system for interference mitigation” and “Crop Discrimination in Hilly Terrain using Hyperspectral Remote Sensing” by ISRO.

5G Lab:

• 5G lab uses OAI (Open Air Interface) software for 5G network simulation. Lab has three high end Linux PCs on LAN - UE (User Equipment), RAN (Radio Access Network), and CN (Core Network).
• Lab has USRP B200 board and RAN PC has driver software for using this board. This allows lab users to use actual mobile handsets instead of UE simulator software.
• Lab has PCs with Matlab version with 5G tools.
• Collaboration with IISc and Capgemini to strengthen the core objective of the lab to train faculty and students.

Centre for Nano Materials & MEMS Lab:

• The Centre for Nanomaterials and MEMS at NMIT was instituted to nurture the research abilities and innovative thinking capabilities among the students and faculty members.
• The objective is to give knowledge and create awareness of the important facets of different technologies, highlighting the current trends and future directions in multidisciplinary areas like Electronics, Energy, Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, Space, Medicine, Health care etc.
• In the Centre for Nanomaterials (CNM) and MEMS at NMIT, we have a dynamic multidisciplinary group of researchers oriented and working for the objectives, in the following research areas:
• Design, Simulation and Development of Micro-Electro-Mechanical systems (MEMS)
• Thin Film Materials Science and Engineering
• Nanomaterials Synthesis for biosensing applications

Teaching Learning Methodologies

Teaching methods are the broader techniques used to help students achieve learning outcomes, while activities are the different ways of implementing these methods. Teaching methods help students:

• Master the content of the course.
• Learn how to apply the content in particular contexts

Faculty should identify which teaching methods will properly support a particular learning outcome. To make the most appropriate choice, a faculty should consider learning outcomes, student needs and the learning environment. Diverse teaching techniques (listed) are used by faculty

Workshops/ FDP/seminars

Increasing internationalization in teaching is strongly supported by the Indian education sector and is considered vital for Indian institutions in developing India’s capacity in research and innovation, driving up India’s institutional ranking and improving the quality of teaching and learning. Thus, enhancing the academic and intellectual environment in the institutions by providing faculty members with ample opportunities to pursue research and to participate in seminars / conferences / workshops has become vital for developing.

The faculty members are actively participating in FDPs, Seminars, workshops / Short term courses etc. at reputed institutes such as Indian Institute of Technology, National Institute of Technology, and industries.

Department also organizes Workshops/FDPs/Training Sessions by Eminent speakers.
