One Week Faculty Development Programme on Innovative Research & Development Trends in Electronics & Communication Engineering

Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, G.L. Bajaj Institute of Technology & Management, Greater Noid have organized a One Week Faculty Development Programme on "Innovative Research & Development Trends in Electronics & Communication Engineering" (6th September 2021- 12th September 2021) and technically sponsored by IIC, IEEE UP Section (India), Start in UP and AKTU.
The Scope of FDP was to promote Electronics and Communication centered Innovation and Research that will serve as a rapidly expanding foundation for the vision of Society 5.0. Sustained research & development in the electronics sector is essential for developing indigenous technology and its transfer to industry for commercialization. This FDP has come at the right time to help nurture academic spirit among professionals and help in building the least expensive, most effective, insightful, ensuring product integrity, innovative engineering solutions for the pressing societal problems.
The FDP contains Renowned speakers from industries and academia invited to deliver their talk on the latest technologies. The following are the details of the speaker and the topic of their sessions.
