Several staff members of the department have published national and international level papers in various conferences and journals too.
As HIT is ranked as one of the top Engineering colleges in Bhubaneswar, it is well furnished with a department library. The department library is filled with various journals and textbooks, question papers and material that facilitate the students for preparing their examinations. Our students are sent for in-plant training for 1 month duration in the summer and winter holidays.
Apart from providing all the technical skills, we also provide different programs for grooming their personality and personal skills. Workshops and seminars are conducted in regular intervals by the department to make the students update their knowledge. This Department conducts a national level paper contest every year which boosts the confidence of both the students and faculty members.
