Instrumentation Science

Overview

All over the world the growth of an Industrial society in a Nation is measured by its use of Scientific Instruments. This is because the R&D achievements in research organizations and Industries depend on the availability of advanced instruments. Further the instruments can be utilized to its full capacity only if well trained manpower is available for design, development, its use and timely repair and maintenance.

This is possible when the gap between Pure Sciences and Engineering; that is in effect the gap between Academic Society and Industrial Sector is bridged. This is a well-established fact today.

It is this requirement that has led to the emergence of Instrumentation Science – a new discipline of not only Science but technology as well and has become frontline area today. The discipline of Instrumentation Science necessarily needs the understanding of latest trends and achievements in the field of Physical, Chemical and Biological Sciences. The main objective of Instrumentation Science is to logically translate the proven research ideas into a reliable and effective but simple, elegant and handy instruments and gadgets. This will facilitate not only development of high tech products in diverse fields but also the teaching of advanced techniques in the frontline research.

Features

To fulfill these goals, Savitribai Phule Pune University instituted the Department of Instrumentation Science and introduced the M.Sc. Instrumentation Science course. This is an industry / R & D oriented professional course. It incorporates about 2 month’s practical training in an industry / R & D organization and a project therein of four months. This gives exposure to the student to day-to-day life environment.
