The Centre For Electronics Design And Technology or CEDT is one of the departments under the division of Electrical Sciences in Indian Institute of Science. It was established in 1974. In 2011, it was renamed as Department of Electronic Systems and Engineering (DESE). History CEDT was established in 1974 with the support from Indian and Swiss Governments under "Indo Swiss Agreement on Technical and Scientific Co-operation signed on 27th September 1966". Prof. Arvind Victor Shah and Prof. BS Sonde were the founding chairs. :. Now it is renamed as DESE, Department of Electronic System Engineering. Academics The center offers following Master level programs, apart from the research program leading to a PhD. Master in Technology (M.Tech) in Electronics Design & Technology (EDT) Master in Engineering (M.E.) in Microelectronics Master of Science (M.Sc.Eng.) Admission M.Tech.: candidates are shortlisted based on the GATE score. Then the admission is based on the written test & the interview conducted by CEDT faculty. M.Sc (By Research): candidates are shortlisted based on the GATE score. Then the admission is based on the interview conducted by CEDT faculty. The interview is conducted according to the candidates' area of interest. Research Power Electronics Communication Networks Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Circuits & Systems Nanoelectronics Electronics Packaging Electromagnetic Compatibility Embedded Systems Electro-Mechanics Lab Location CEDT is located in the eastern part of the IISc campus behind Mathematics department. The other nearby departments are: Combustion, Gasification and Propulsion Laboratory Center for Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences Product design The course structure is designed to inculcate system level understanding among the students. Most of the M.Tech. projects are sponsored by companies and result in hardware electronic products. Some of the students later transform their knowledge into commercial ventures like Gamma Porite. Student life M.Tech. and M.E. students mostly remain busy with course work in first two semesters and with the thesis/project work the remaining two semesters. M.S students have to take a fewer courses and get more time to work on their thesis. There are different clubs and societies under the student council on campus which serve for various extra curricular activities. These associations fall under the IISc Gymkhana. List of the various active clubs are: Yoga Club Hockey Club Movie Club Drama Club Music Club Swimming Club Kung-Fu Club Cricket Football Athletics Lawn Tennis Literary and Fine Arts Photography Events CEDT Design Expo The CEDT Design Expo is the design exposition
