B.Tech in
Electronics & Computer Engineering

Program Overview

The B. Tech in Electronics and Computer Engineering (ECM) program is a comprehensive four-year undergraduate degree that fosters a unique blend of skills in both electronics and computer science. It caters to students with a passion for understanding how hardware and software work together to create complex systems. The ECM program is offered as part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at Mahindra University.  This is a four-year program that starts with strengthening their concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and introducing them to the basics of Electrical/Electronics engineering concepts in the first two semesters of study.  Progressively, the students delve into the more complex subjects and learn with an emphasis on Electronics and Computer engineering. In addition to the core subjects, there will be electives that will be offered which allow students to get more in-depth insight into certain areas of the subject and develop further expertise.  Many of the core subjects also have laboratories associated with them that will expose the students to practice what they learn in the classroom.

Students that will successfully complete this four-year program can go on for further studies/research in many different areas or can join many different companies that operate in this field.  Companies that can be potential employers can belong to the IT & Computer Engineering domains like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta etc., Semiconductor companies like Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Texas Instruments, Silicon Labs, Synopsys etc.

The objective of the ECM program is to create engineers capable of solving real-world problems that require computation, communication or control by utilizing the most efficient combination of hardware and software. Students will learn how to build optimal machines using knowledge gained in both computing and electronics domains.

In the 3rd and 4th year, students get to choose one of four tracks, that have been custom designed keeping future markets in mind, which are :

  1. Data Sciences,
  2. Embedded System Design,
  3. Software Engineering,
  4. Digital System Design.

Students take 3 courses in their chosen track, and also 3 application / breadth Electives offered to widen student horizons. More details are below.
