Since 1991, USIC runs 1 year (2 semesters ) Post B.Sc.
Diploma in Instrumentation course which covers total 8 theory papers alongwith the
practicals and projects. The details of the course is as under.
DIN 101: Vacuum Instruments
Subject provides information about fundamentals, properties and
applications of vacuum science and technology, Different types of pumps used for creation
of vacuum, leak detection techniques, pressure measurement gauges and mechanical
measurements are covered.
DIN 102 : Electrical Technology and measuring
Instruments.
This subject introduces knowledge about power distribution, different kinds of
motors and stabilizers, switches, thermostates, Introduction and maintenance of
refrigeration systems, Break Down Voltage Testing, Different kinds of transducers, CRO ,
Recorders etc.
DIN 103 : Analog and Digital Controls.
This subject furnishes information about types and characteristics of control
system which covers ON/OFF, Proportional, Derivative, Integral, and PID controllers. Apart
from this detailed study of Analog and Digital Control systems is undertaken using
different sensors and actuators.
DIN 104: Industrial and Consumer Electronics
This subject covers details of various Power Supplies such as Linear and SMPS
using Voltages Regulators, PWM techniques. Industrial applications such as Electric Arc
furnaces, maintenance of Colour/ Black and White TV, VCP, VCR, and introduction of
Telecommunication systems is being covered .
DIN 201 : Analytical Instruments.
This subject provides introduction to various types of Analytical Instruments
such as Spectrophotometer, pH meter, Flame photometers, Colorimeters, Gas chromatography
etc. Thermogravimetric analysis, Environmental pollution monitoring instruments, Optical
Instruments, and centrifuge systems are also included as theoretical study.
DIN 202: Biomedical Instruments.
The subject provides a general overview of different Bio-medical Instruments such
as ECG, EEG, X-Ray, Blood Pressure Measurements, Surgical Diathermy Instruments, Dialyzers
along with basic transducers used for these instruments. Also the syllabus covers a basic
understanding of how to repair and maintain these types of equipments.
DIN 203: Microprocessor Interfacing
This subject imparts knowledge of basic 8085 Microprocessor, its interrupt
mechanism, basic interfacing techniques and other peripheral devices such as 8255, 8279,
8155, 8259, 8253 etc. Industrial applications using Microprocessors is also explained
during the course. Students are supposed to write and test various software routines as
course material to develop the assembly language programming skill.
DIN 204: Maintenance and Service of Personal
Computers .
Basic understanding of hardware components of PC such as Mother Board, HardDisk
Drives, Floppy disk drives, Keyboard, Printer etc is covered. Also an overview of DOS
operating System is explained.
Practical and Project Work :
Students are supposed to perform about 12 Practicals / Semester . The practicals gives
them the basic understanding of theoretical aspect that they are learning during the
semester period. This helps the students to boost their understanding of a particular
subject.
Students are also required to carry out ONE Project /
Semester. The main objective of this project work is to develop the hardware development
skills apart from learning the testing, assembling and debugging methods. Emphasis is also
given to enhance the repairs and maintenance skill of the students.
