ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS DEPARTMENT

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering was established in the year 2006 with the undergraduate programme (B.Tech) to fulfill the aspiration of local people to make their wards professionally qualified Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The department has always exerted the best of its effort to meet the objectives of achieving technical excellence in the areas of Electrical and Electronics Engineering such as power systems ,Power electronics and Drive systems, energy systems instrumentation, Control, industrial automation, analog and digital electronics, signal processing and microprocessor and microcontrollers supported by a high ended software training to take up Electrical Engineering system Design.

As we draw faculty from almost all disciplines of electrical engineering with postgraduate qualification, our students are imparted the best training in all the above specialization to enable them to acquire enough knowledge in various disciplines of Electrical and Electronics Engineering to practice the profession with high level of skill. Our present head of the department with around 40 years of experience out of which around 10 years as a professor in an Institute of Excellence viz.National Institute of Technology Calicut ,has a rich experience and expertise to lead this team. He is now made by the APJ Abdul kalam Technological University to be a research Supervisor as well which enables the department to be an active centre of Research in various disciplines of Electrical Engineering.

The department has well equipped state of the art laboratories to compliment the theoretical course work . In addition to the regular laboratory facilities, the department has well equipped High Voltage Engineering Laboratory, Power system protection Laboratory and Softwares like E- Tap and Matlab for Power System studies and Dynamic system analysis.

The Library ,with a collection of 20,125 books in and related disciplines of Electrical Engineering, Digital Library with around 30 computers with high speed internet connectivity and E-books, is one of the best libraries in this locality of the state. This will enable the students to have on line search of publication and E-journals .The institute being accredited with ISO 9001; 2015 requirement the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is also maintaining the required quality policy in the delivery of the service of the department. With these the department tries to achieve the following Educational Objectives
