The Electronics association of Mahatma Gandhi University

 School of Technology and Applied Sciences, Kottayam

  Exploring the technology with a difference.  Inspiring intellectual minds. Moulding the career at time.  

 Aim

The overall aim of this association is to grasp the technology from a new dimension, enhancing the knowledge and skills by participating students in the areas of modern technological trends and to contribute something new to build a value oriented technological world.

Electronics is an exciting field that is experiencing amazing growth. According to Moor?s law the circuit complexity doubles every 18 months. There is no way to cop up with this fastest growing field but the student has to run with their full effort to extract innovative higher extremes.

Beginning

As a great effort, the electronics students of STAS formed the electronics association in the year 2003. It is the first association in the Mahatma Gandhi University for students to develop their talents and abilities and to bring out the hidden treasures in their technical mind to contribute the best to the fast developing electronics technology.

Electra bears its role as a place where the students can share and develop their ideas and to make each student get in touch with various technological fields through technical talks by experts, conducting workshops, symposiums, etc.

For group participation each student was given an opportunity to suggest a suitable name for this association and the name Electra were selected.
