Dear Mr./Ms.

	It is my pleasure and privilege to write this letter to you and hope
that it finds you in health and hapiness. You are aware that this Department
was established in 1968 and the first batch of students graduated in 1971. The
College was then affiliated to the University of Madras and the Department was 
offering the 5-year undergraduate Electronics and Communication Engineering 
Course.


	From the academic year 1976 - 77, the Department started offering the 
diversified course in Electronics and Communication Engineering with emphasis
on Transistor Electronics, Digital and Switching Circuits, Statistical Theory 
of Communication, Space Communication and other relevant subjects. A Post 
Graduate course with specialisation in Communication Systems was also started 
in 1976 and  the first batch of students graduated in 1978. Together with other
Post Graduate Departments of the College, the Department of Electronics and
Communication Engineering became autonomous from the year 1978. In addition to
the course in COmmunication Systems, the Department also offered the P. G. 
course in Computer Technology during 1978-80. The duration of the undergraduate
course was reduced to four years from the academic year 1980-81.

	The Bharathidasan University was established in Tiruchirapalli in 
February 1982 and as per rules, the College got affiliated to it from the 
academic year 1982-83. The last batch of the Diversified 5-year Degree course
graduated from the University of Madras in June 1984; the first and last 
batches of the 4-year Degree course graduated in January 1985 and December 
1985 respectively. The first batch of the Bharathidasan University graduated in
June 1986. From the academic year 1986-87, the College became autonomous
for its undergraduate programs also. We are now thus autonomous for  both
Undergraduate and Post Graduate programs under affiliation to the Bharathidasan
University. This facilitates us in drawing up our own syllabus so that it 
can remain updated as time marches on.

	By now you must have guessed that the aim of this letter is to know
how you have progressed after leaving the College. It is the Silver Jubilee
Year of the Department and we are planning to bring out a souvenir and arrange
a get-together of as many ex-students as possible. So send us articles for the 
Souvenir on anything you care/dare to write on. The get-together will be 
sometime in May or June 1993. Inform the convenient dates so that we can select
the best date for the function.

	We know that many of you may not be at the addresses you had left 
with us. Hence we request you send at least four updated addresses of your 
class-mates. Or, better xerox this letter and send the copies to them directly.
The least we are expecting from you is a line acknowledging the receipt of this letter promptly.

	Best wishes and blessings,

	Sd/.  Dr. A. L. Abdussattar
	Professor & Head Of The Department
	Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering
	Regional Engineering College, Tiruchirapalli - 620 015
