The Department is well equipped with number of PCs and workstations hosting several software packages and linked through a local area network. Internet services are available to all students and faculty. The department is active in developing programs and teaching aids for Electrical Engineering education.
Leadership
The department has highly qualified faculty and staff who work with packed devotion and enthusiasm under the guidance of Dr. Sushil Kumar, Director of PG Courses. He has more than 30 years of professional experience in engineering education, industrial consultancy and research in the field of Mechanical Engineering with specialization in thermal and quality engineering. The department keeps up with the ever varying challenges of the modern day industry and is firm in its commitment to produce erudite and conscientious Mechanical Engineers. It is all set to produce a galaxy of budding engineers to meet this ever-growing demand.
Project Work and Industrial Training
The students of the department work on various innovative projects like Automatic Star-Delta Converter, speed control of Induction Motor by automated rotor resistance control method, Installation of Photovoltaic plant, Self excited Induction Generator (SEIG) etc. The students also take some projects as per industrial requirements. Solar Photovoltaic plant and Solar Tree has been designed and implemented at Campus, under supervision of HOD, Electrical Engineering. The students undergo industrial training of 4 to 6 weeks after 2nd and 3rd year where they work on live industrial projects in Corporate like BHEL, Thermal Power Plant, SCADA, NTPC, BSNL, HVPC, A2Z, L&T, Crompton and Greaves, USHA, SIEMENS, WIPRO, GE, Khaitan, NRTC, Godrej etc. Various In-house trainings are held on topics such as PLC, SCADA etc. The Department organizes various activities to promote entrepreneurship among students so that they become job-creators rather than job seekers.
INDUSTRIAL VISITS
To gain practical experience of industrial environment, students visit different industries such as Siemens, Havells, Bhakra Dam, Tajewala Dam etc.
EXPERT LECTURES
Expert lectures are arranged by the Department on regular basis from professionals of Public Sector Units or MNCs like BBMB, Siemens etc. Faculty Development programs are also conducted for professional development of faculty.
Placement
The students of Electrical Engineering get placed in Central and State Government Departments e.g. Railways, State Electricity Boards and Thermal Power Plants. In addition, the students have got placed in prestigious Public Sector and Private companies like BHEL, NTPC, L&T, Siemens, ABB, Usha Sri Ram Group, Khaitan, Orient etc.
Renewable Energy Club
Department has also established a Renewable Energy Club in the year 2012. It conducts various activities like seminars, presentations & guest lectures on latest topics related to renewable energy. Many projects related to renewable energy have also been implemented by the club. This club has created alternate renewable energy system for smooth functioning of the labs in the Department.
Professional Memberships
Faculty members of Department interact with various professional bodies and have taken memberships of some of the prestigious institutions. Department has three faculty members who are Life Members of Indian Water Resources Society of IIT, Roorkee.
