Instructor
Hi, I am Sumanta Kumar Pal,Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and communication engineering.I have some teaching experience while I was in college and then I joined the Control and Instrumentation department of a Power Plant in India and I have an experience of more than 10 years in this field.I have much interest in analog circuit designing and my courses on
1) Zener Diode and LEDs
2) Semiconductor
3) Diodes
will be extremely interesting for students with basic and intermediate knowledge of science.I love learning and I love teaching too.
