Inside the Department
Process and Processors, Information and Technology, Design and Production. This is what we control.
It was called magic once upon a time…But now it is called automation. #instrumentation. We can deal with pressure, we can deal with resistance, but if you offer any of these you won’t be able to deal with us. Ever wondered what is the future?? It is us #instrumentation. Count your words before you talk. You see, we take measurements seriously. Want the world at your fingertips?? Done… as we are instrumentation department. We, instrumentation engineers, make things easier for you. #automation.In VIT it doesn’t matter wherever you come from, the college helps you to make your own success. I wake up every day with pride because I am a part of something bigger than I have ever dreamed of. #VIT. In VIT we as engineers are taught to go out into the world and DO WELL but more importantly go out into the world and DO GOOD. I come to VIT to make myself better and the professors are there to help me along the way.There is a time and place for everything and it is called VIT college. While studying in VIT we didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun and lots of good time

Scientist dream about doing great things , ENGINEERS do them. Nothing is impossible for us as instrumentation engineers .We can design , develop , and maintain and manage the instruments and systems. We make life better and convenient and easy for you. To be a part of VIT is like a dream come true. The college and the excellent and highly qualified professors with their great communication skills helps you all along. Here you get an opportunity to develop skills in extra curriculars with engineering .VIT not only makes a good engineer but also a makes a personality that will shine and stand apart from rest of the engineers. It’s a great achievement for me to be known as VITIAN . Thankful to the college for developing my personality and my engineering skills

IT Instrumentation department has played an important part in my life. Being from the 1st Instrumentation batch at VIT meant that we had to overcome a lot of challenges. Whether it was about getting notes from other (experienced) colleges or bunking the classes! It was all done together and as a first time experience. Prof. Gangal was our HOD and he led the way in guiding us through the extreme syllabus of instrumentation. I believe this experience gave us tenacity and confidence to face difficult unknown challenges further in our lives. I worked as a commissioning engineer at Thermax for a couple of years and faced numerous such occasions on customer sites where we did not have a solution but worked towards achieving it in small steps. Further in my work at FedEx USA, as a technical lead, I could see myself being fearless because I was never afraid of hard-work and perseverance.

The years spent in VIT Instrumentation were one of those years that I will cherish forever. It inculcated in us the spirit of curiosity for Engineering, the desire of get down to the basics and to understand concepts thoroughly. Heads of department and faculty were not just teaching the “syllabus” but were bringing in front of us, as many industry relevant components as possible. The initiative of getting companies to invest in projects and getting these projects executed within the department was of great benefit to the students and faculty. Amazing students around made those years fly and was definitely another huge source of learning and co-creating. Wishing VIT Instrumentation Department the very best !

It gives me great pleasure to reflect back on my experience with VIT – my alma mater. I am truly indebted to VIT for transforming an average engineering student like me into capable professional engineer in the field of Control Engineering. My journey on Engineering course started back in year 2003 with VIT-Instrumentation and Control department. While working through my Engineering degree at VIT, I realized that experienced faculty members who are subject matter experts in various fields layout strong foundation for dynamic academic program at Instrumentation department. Student friendly faculty and supporting staff creates conducive academic eco-system for any student to thrive on it. State of art laboratories for DCS , PLC , Process Instrumentation etc. at Instrumentation department helped me tremendously to see how theories taught in classroom being applied to real world applications. Apart from academics, I was able to enjoy extra-curricular activities through college festivals and competitions which are undoubtedly special college memories to cherish lifelong for any engineer.

Having worked in the corporate sector for more than 35 years, it has given me insight for the need of research and development of various sector. With the fast growth of gadgets and industrial applications, there is really need for engineers to develop their skills in the related field. One such field in which a student can develop themselves is INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL. There are many sector in which an Instrumentation engineer is needed. From field like automation, reliability, quality assurance, control system , safety, to project management, process line calibration. Large projects, equipments, Machineries in Oil and Gas Sector, Process Industry Cement, Iron and Steel Industry, artificial intelligence development, Boiler and power plant are the area in which an instrumentation engineer is needed. In all, we can say, an instrumentation engineer is needed in every field of development. And these engineer are highly paid for the contribution in these sectors.
