ISTE workshop organized by National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT) in collaboration with IIT Kharagpur

An ISTE workshop will be organized by National Mission on Education through ICT (MHRD, Govt. of India) in collaboration with IIT Kharagpur to be held from June 4 to June 14, 2013. This workshop is designed mainly for the faculty from remote areas across the country.

It is a remarkable step taken by IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur to work with engineering colleges to enhance and encourage the teaching skills of faculty members in core engineering and science colleges. Two week ISTE workshops were conducted before also with the same motive. Here Participating teachers attend live lectures delivered by IIT faculty at a remote center close to their own college, and also attend tutorial and lab sessions conducted in the same centers. Live interaction takes place in distance mode using the AVIEW technology through internet, at selected remote centers across the country. So it has proved as an important initiative towards enhancement of teaching skills among the faculties in remote areas. This work shop no doubt will benefit faculty colleagues who are teaching Analog Electronics and/or related subjects at the undergraduate or the postgraduate level.

Following are the content to be discussed in this workshop

• Semiconductor Devices (BJT and MOSFET): Operations and characteristics, low frequency- and high frequency models.

• Single stage amplifiers: Common emitter and common source amplifier, Common base and common gate amplifier, Common collector and common drain amplifier; frequency response, concept of active load.

• Multi stage amplifiers: Cascaded amplifier stages; CE-CE, CE-CB, CE-CC, CC-CC amplifier.

• Current mirror: Simple and cascade using BJT and MOSFET.

• Differential amplifier: Double ended and single ended differential amplifiers using BJT and MOSFET.

• Feedback: Basic configurations and practical amplifier circuits using negative feedback.

• Stability and Oscillators: Stability analysis, phase margin and gain margin, positive feedback, RC and LC oscillators.

• Power amplifiers: Class A, Class B, Class AB and Class C amplifiers, Practical power amplifier circuits.

NMEICT will also conduct a five days coordinator’s training before the main workshop to train the coordinators who will then act as workshop coordinators during the main workshop and will be responsible for all activities take place in the workshop. They will devote to supervise each and every aspects of the workshop.

Remote Centers are being funded to provide tea/lunch on each day of the workshop, and for accommodation for a limited number of outstation participants if required. Travel expenses up to Rs. 1000/- one way and one-time will be reimbursed against proof of actual expenditure, for participants beyond a distance of 100 Km from the Remote Centre.
