CENTRE FOR MICROPROCESSOR APPLICATION FOR TRAINING,
EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (www.cmaterju.org)

Brief Profile of the Centre

A project was granted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (then Ministry of Education and Culture), Government of India, during the 6th Plan period for setting up a Centre for Microprocessor Application for Traning, Education and Research. The main objectives of the Centre were defined as follows:

i) to train teachers of some of the assigned Engineering Colleges/Universities.
ii) to set up infrastructural facilities for giving training and carrying out research and developmental activities in microprocessors and allied fields.

Following the directive of the Ministry, the Centre was attached to the 'relevant department' of the University, viz., Computer Science and Engineering.

The Centre offers short-term training programmes in the field of computers. It also makes its infrastructural facilities available to students at all levels for their training, and for Research and Developmental work.

The Centre is run by an admin1istrative Committee comprising the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Technology (Chairman), the Co-Ordinator, and three other members.
