The department handles several projects, for example, in 1991; the IMPACT project was started under the Computer Science Department (along with Electronics Department) with the aim of developing manpower for Electronics and Computer Industries. Another major project is the manpower component of the Electronics Industry Development Project (E.I.D.P.), which is funded jointly by the World Bank, Swiss Development Corporation (S.D.C.), Department of Electronics and Government of India. The goal of the project is to upgrade the quality of education and training in the fields of Computer and Electronics Engineering. Another feather in its cap has been the award of I.S.O. 9002 Certification for implementing Quality System in technical education.
