All broadcasting stations and studios need the help of broadcast engineers in order for them to perform their functions effectively. Without these engineers, the operations in these studios and stations will be in chaos. Among the duties performed by broadcast engineers are maintaining the good condition of digital broadcast automation systems, radio equipment and digital recording tools and equipment and regulating the signal strength, range and clarity of sounds and the colors primarily designed for television and radio broadcasts.
Certified broadcast engineers are also in charge in installing, testing, operating and repairing all electronic tools and equipment that are mainly used to effectively transmit cable, television and radio programs. The course seeks to produce trained personnel who can manage and maintain the technical infrastructure required for media production and transmission. The course objective is to teach working principles and operational aspects of various technical systems employed in content acquisition, production and transmission in Radio and TV broadcasting. The teaching pedagogy involves a mix of theoretical inputs and hands-on training in real working environment at in house production facilities, visits and internship at Radio and TV broadcasting stations
The course has primarily designed for Technicians/ Engineers towards technically installing and maintaining a Broadcast system infrastructure. The course includes managing a real environment within the industry
