Four terms of studies, followed by the thesis project. Study modules included a project with Bosch Thermotechniek. The thesis project was carried out at the R&D of Tata Steel Europe, in IJmuiden.
This was a four-year course comprising of 8 semesters of studies. Semesters 1 & 2 were fundamental and common to all engineering streams. During the course of the program, I was a member of collegiate groups of IETE & IEEE. My final year dissertation was on Magnetoresistive RAM, successful in putting forth an appreciable contribution. The work provided a foundation for further studies & research for students.
