Overview
|
|
CASE is committed to advance the research in engineering domain and to empower its
students to realize their full potential while working in advanced technological
domains. The institute's programs in computer engineering and engineering management
have the distinction of preparing researchers with sound knowledge, professional
approach and innovative thoughts. The entire faculty is itself deeply involved in
hi-tech R & D projects and provides a role model of academia-industry partnership.
CASE is proud to be the pioneer in presenting this model and always emphasizes this
as a special feature of its educational environment.

Post Graduate(Doctorial)
Research Program
|
|
Ph.D. research program at CASE aims to enhance student’s academic knowledge and
professional expertise, by developing an effective research training system; thereby
enhancing economic development, international competitiveness and accomplishment
of collective goals. The research @ CASE is conducted in strong collaboration with
CARE (Center for Advanced Researhch in Engineering).
Our faculty brings to the classroom extensive instructional and research experience
that contribute to the dynamic learning experience that is found in CASE. The students
work closely with CASE faculty members who can provide strong guidance in their
area of expertise and hence help students to work on projects employing cutting-edge
technology.

Seminars and Workshops
|
|
Many workshops and seminars have been held at CASE correlated to the core curriculum
and advanced areas of engineering. CASE selects the topics that are both useful
and interesting to the students as well as faculty and is always open to new ideas.
The experts are invited to share their knowledge and vast experiences relative to
the courses / topics with the students and faculty. Following is the list of workshops
and seminars held by CASE:
- CASE is offering a 2 weeks course on High Speed Multilayered
PCB Design starting from 4th of August 2004. Click here for details.
-
A seminar on Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (IEEE 802.16) by Dr. Muid Mufti,
was held at CASE on Thursday 5th of August, 2004
-
A seminar on Bluetooth Wireless Technology by Dr. Muid Mufti, was held at CASE on
Thursday 22nd of July, 2004. Click here for details.
-

Research Funding
|
|
The research funding helps in furnishing the field of study and develops an active
base in order to advance the CASE’s mission of intensifying research. Research funding
can come in many forms like research project grants, laboratory equipment provisions,
Ph.D. scholarships, technical journals / books for library, collaboration and support
in research projects, etc. The funding is provided as a professional service to
the researchers who wish to secure support for their creative ideas and professional
interests. In recent years, more funding has become available to support the movement
of intellectual capital, knowledge and ideas out of the academic research arena
and into the wider world, particularly to industry and commerce. Many organizations
offer support and research funding to CASE like HEC, CISCO, XILINX and many other
public sector organizations. CASE always welcoms any support for enhancing its research
activities. Please contact the concerned head if you would like to collaborate and
support research at CASE.

Research Projects
|
|
Computer Engineering :-
Several research projects are conducted in collaboration with CARE. These research
projects include:
- Universal Security Box, a low cost
solution providing clear secure voice with low bit rate speech encoding and data
transmission using existing analog POTS line
-
Calling Card Gateway, an intelligent network based application that provides
service provider IVR servers and switching gateways along with software to manage
and record the transactions. A complete system including hardware and software will
be built.
- IP Enabled Exchange,
a low-cost voice communication infrastructure along with Internet connectivity for
distant rural areas
- 3D Digital Terrain Model
Generator, represents land surface point elevations, accepts stereo image
data in various input formats and outputs terrain model with elevations and their
related data layers. Some publications are also made on this work
-
High Data Rate Industrial Telemetry Modem, a PCM/FM based telemetry
subsystem capable of supporting up to 2 Mbps data-rate. In addition, built-in support
for encryption and error correction using turbo codes. The system is capable of
supporting multiple video channels along with sensor data. Some publications are
also made on this work.
- Intelligent Routers
for Mobile Wireless Ad-hoc Networks, ad-hoc Network based communication
solution underlying the features like integrated mobile and land link network design,
mesh network architecture, robustness and redundancy, remote configuration, self
diagnostics and self healing. This long range ad hoc network also provides stable
path routing for QoS. Some publications are also made on this work
Other research areas in which CASE and CARE team is actively involved are:
- Software Design Services, Control Processing (networking
and management), DSP Algorithms, Code optimization
-
Digital Hardware Design, FPGA-based systems from concept to implementation, highly
complex SoCs, ASIC: mapping computationally intensive algorithms in HW
-

Engineering Management
Professor Dr. Azhar Mansur Khan and his Ph.D. students are conducting research in
the following fields of Project Management:
- Emotional Intelligence
- Leadership Aspects for Projects' Success or Failure
-
Synergistic Program Management
- Value Management
- Organizational Maturity
Models and their Application
- Knowledge Management
- Public Spheres and
Projects
In order to foster the applied as well as theoretical research, it has been planned
to establish a Center of Excellence in Project Management with the collaboration
of Lille Graduate School of Management, Lille, France. The Center of Excellence
will perform following functions:
- Research and development in the field of Project Management
- Provision of
Consultacy Services
- Human Resource Development, Capacity Strenthening and Training
of Partner Organizations.
- Support to CASE in Teaching and Student Research
-
