This course is designed to inculcate knowledge and skills to meet the demands of Automation industries. The institute is in the process of establishing Centre for Automation Technology (CAT) to support students and surrounding industries to develop skills in the field of Automation Technology.
M.Tech: Industrial Automation & Robotics KUKA Robotics lab. Introduction of M.Tech-Industrial Automation & Robotics Programme Industrial Automation is the process of following sequence of operations with little or no human labour using specialized equipment and the devices that perform and control manufacturing processes. It is the science that deals with designing, creation and maintenance of robots which includes electronics, mechanical and computer science engineering whose blend is called Automation & Robotics.
Objectives of M.Tech (IAR) Programme Opportunities To produce quality Engineers with multidisciplinary skills to cater the needs of any automation industry. To provide the students with opportunities to work ongoing research and consultancy projects. The M.Tech (IAR) program is supported by state of the art, Career opportunities can open up in many an area ranging from automated appliances construction, automobile industry, building materials industry environmental engineering, traffic management & hardware and software. maintenance, medical engineering field, power and process industries, project engineering houses, system integration houses, real time software development, communication software development etc. The following are a few distinct career opportunities which open up on successful completion of this curriculum.

Etc.
The NIE is in the process of establishing Centre for Automation Technology (CAT) to support students and surrounding industries to develop skills in the field of Automation Technology. Also, this centre has been identified as one of the competency development centre by the Automation industry association (AIA). NIE has already signed MoUs with the below mentioned companies for starting CAT. MOUs Companies: Bosch Rexroth Fanuc India Siemens Festo Controls Felsomat India Schunk Pepperl and Fuchs Triton valves Ltd
Our M.Tech; IAR Students are Placed in reputed companies for Internship, Project work, job and also for academic profession through NIE College.
Automation Industry Association NIE is one the prestigious college selected by AIA to develop competency development center in the field of automation. This will enable the M.Tech (IAR) students of NIE to get exposure by directly linking with industry experts & obtain the guidance in their course and project areas. Automation Industry Association (AIA) is in the phase of standardizing curriculum at National Level for all automation related courses in country. NIE has been identified as Competency Development Centre (CDC) with the mandate to facilitate Campus Connect Programs andprovide world class education in the field. This initiative has been taken, keeping in view the need of Indian Manufacturing Segments growth. NIE is in the process of developing Centre for Automation Technology (CAT) with funding to the tune of Rs. 4crore. This initiative has been kick started with funding by TEQIP II, FIST-DST, KCTU,& KBITS Govt. of Karnataka The facilities existing under CAT are: PLC & SCADA Laboratory Sensorics Laboratory Robotics Studio Drives & Controls Laboratory FMS Laboratory Software Laboratory
Facilitates Planned under Robotics Research Centre with the funding support from KCTU are Articulated Robotic plat form, Robotic studio, and other necessary software s to build light weight through able robots for defense / security. e-vidya for teaching learning and vaidya for old age support and medical areas. The Main four pillars of CAT (Centre for Automation Technology) are shown in the figure below
NIE Developments towards higher studies with foreign universities: NIE has signed co-operative agreement with leading foreign universities, namely, University of McMaster, Canada; OelWerme Institut (OWI), affiliated to University of Aachen, Germany; and University of Kassel, Germany. These collaborations provide opportunities for IAR students to take up academic visits and higher studies in these universities. Following students from M.Tech-IAR who visited Germany between 2011-14. Following students from M.Tech-IAR who will be visiting Germany during November 2015.
