ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING





Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. This stream has a wide range of subfields that includes electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics. Many of these sub disciplines overlap and also overlap with other engineering branches, spanning a huge number of specializations such as hardware engineering, power electronics, electromagnetic & waves, microwave engineering, nanotechnology, electrochemistry, renewable energies, mechatronics, electrical materials science, and many more. Electrical engineers typically hold a degree in electrical engineering or electronic engineering. Practicing engineers may have professional certification and be members of a professional body. Such bodies include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Institution of Engineering, ISTE and Technology (professional society) (IET) (formerly the IEE).

Electrical engineers work in a very wide range of industries and the skills required are likewise variable. These range from basic circuit theory to the management skills required of a project manager. The tools and equipment that an individual engineer may need are similarly variable, ranging from a simple voltmeter to a top end analyzer to sophisticated design and manufacturing software.

The department boasts 12 well qualified faculty. All the faculty continuously undergo various skill development programs to enhance their skills so that the students can be benefitted. Department faculties have produced 5 impact factored journals and also a patent submission has been made. Faculty has submitted for research funding in CERD and also KSCTE funding. Moreover students regularly apply for CERD and KSCTE funds and more than 10 number students have been benefitted. During 2015-16, a bio-medical project named “smart blind assist system” was widely appreciated by a competition held by YUVA mastermind. The department contains a student’s association named AEES. Every semester, they used to organize skill development programs.

This Department currently runs a Bachelors programme (final Year) and a Diploma Program on Electrical and Electronics Engineering with an intake of 60 students per academic year to cater to the ever challenging needs of technical excellence in specialised avenues of Electrical Engineering.

The programme provides the students with a strong background in the broad areas of Electrical Engineering, namely, communication technology, control technology, electronics, and power & energy. A strong exposure to state-of-the-art technologies is further provided through elective courses that are carefully designed for the interested students.

This department consist of well established labs and well qualified faculty. The ambience of the department contains friendliness in air and quality in class. Ultimately this department is dedicated to serve the future young aspirants

The Association of Electrical & Electronics Engineering Students (AEEES) is the technical association of the Electrical and Electronics Department of PEC. It is a link between the faculty and the students of department of electrical engineering. It aims at encouraging the students to improve their technical skills and to providing ample opportunities for realizing their ideas. A verity of technical activities are organized by the association which are co-ordinated by the students with the guidance of staff members. This helps them to improve their leadership and management skills.

The Association was formally inaugurated on 7th March 2014 .In connection with that ‘Technical Expo’ was arranged. Students exhibited various working and still models to demonstrate the recent developments of Electrical Engineering. Different technical programs, workshops, seminars, paper presentation and project presentation were also conducted as a part of this.
