Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering

Department Overview

The Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering was started in the academic year 2002-2003. The Electrical and Electronics Engineering programme aims to cultivate within students an understanding of electrical and electronics principle requisites to solve engineering problems in the core and associated domains.

Students, completing the course, would be able to apply electrical and electronic principles to circuits, machines, power systems and control systems, along with being able to develop solutions in the areas of industrial automation, green energy systems and smart grids.

Accreditation, Approvals and Recognition:
The Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and is permanently affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belgaum in Karnataka. The National Board of Accreditation, New Delhi accredits the Department. The Department has established a Research Centre under VTU to facilitate research activities for both faculty and students. Students may also opt to pursue an M.S. through the research programme.

Vision

To create an ethical human resource proficient, in domains related to Electrical and Electronics Engineering, for a successful career in the service of society.

Mission

The Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering seeks to realize its Vision with a Mission to:

M1: Equip the laboratories and provide a vibrant ambience to facilitate experiential learning, experimentation and research.

M2: Create a staff team with a balanced mix of academic and industrial exposure, capable of moulding young minds into competent professionals.

M3: Impart knowledge of the domains related to electrical and electronics engineering, based on a firm foundation of science and mathematics.

M4: Envisage and implement interdisciplinary projects and foster continuous learning in association with students and colleagues across disciplines within the institute.

Program USPs

1. Students get extensive exposure during their project and seminar to the following areas: software simulation of power system, fault analysis, design of building automation systems, energy auditing and saving, power control circuit design, Microcontroller programming.
2. The objective of this course is to apply electrical and electronic principles to circuits, machines, power systems and control systems to develop solutions in the areas of industrial automation, green energy systems and smart grids which will help the students to contribute to project teams in the core and associated domains of electrical and electronics technology.
3. Our students have many opportunities to go on industrial visits, shadow employers at the workspace, and undergo summer training at premier companies in the electrical industry such as HAL and ABB (India) Ltd (for Power and Automation Technologies) etc.
