The training programs mentored by Yokogawa offers add on hands on expertise to students and faculty on mandatory skill sets in industrial automation. Yokogawa is one of the key recruiters of our students.
ISOI (Instrument Society of India)
The Society of Instrumentation professionals was established in the year 1970, with headquarters at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. It strives to act as a link between academic institutions and the instrumentation industry. In SJCET, ISOI chapter was started in the year 2004. All the students and the faculty in department of Instrumentation Engineering are the members. The department organizes various programs like, seminars, conferences, paper presentation, Invited talks etc. in collaboration with ISOI for the development of students.
ISA (Instrumentation Students Association)
The Instrument Students Association (ISA) was established at SJCET in the academic year 2003. The objective of ISA is to provide a forum, which will effectively represent the interest and concerns of students of Applied Electronics and Instrumentation department, for pooling their knowledge and experience, supporting the initiatives and events that enrich the career.
