To mold students as good team players and lifelong learners.
Programme Outcomes:
Ability to apply knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering. Ability to design and conduct experiments, interprets and analyzes data, and report results Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical health and safety, manufacturability & sustainability. Ability to function on multidisciplinary teams Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. Ability to communicate effectively. Broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context. Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning. Knowledge of contemporary issues. Ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. Graduate who can participate and succeed in competitive exams. Graduate successfully engaged in electrical & allied fields as engineers & managers.
Career Prospects:
Electrical engineers develop and oversea electrical systems and equipment. They work with everything from power grids to computers and telephones to cars. Electronic engineers on the other hand look after and maintain electronic equipment. Almost all the industries are highly dependent on electrical and electronic engineering and hence this courseprovides ample job opportunities to qualified engineers. Like every other industry in India, the electric/electronic industry too has benefitted a lot from the de-licensing and de-regulations that the government has allowed.Now with exposure to global players and competition, the Indian companies have improved the quality of production and are growing to their true potential. This, in turn means better job opportunities for electronic and electrical engineering graduates. The industry has seen a reported growth of 20% and is expected to continue at the same pace in the coming years. Qualified engineers are getting absorbed across industries and sectors and will continue to do so in future.Since electrical and electronics engineering is a talent-oriented field, it gives high returns for a given initial investment.
Job Opportunities for Electrical & Electroincs Engineers
- Government
- Private
- Self-Employment
About the faculty:
Faculty members are from different specialization of Electrical and Electronics Engineering with a good blend of industry as well as teaching experience.
Our department has a privilege of having all faculty members with post graduate degree. Three of faculty members are pursuing research, one faculty member has submitted the thesis and two of our faculty members have doctorate.
Our department has 24 staff members including 16 Assistant Professors, 2 Associate Professors and 06 Technical faculty members. Our faculty members are divided based on the following specializations to explore their expertise in guiding students:
- Power Systems
- Recent trends in Renewable Energy
- Digital Logic Circuits
- Power Quality
- Sensor based Automation
- Smart Grid etc.,
4 faculty members have specialized in counseling.
All our faculty members have very good mentoring potential so that students approach them easily during critical situations.
We teach our students to design creatively, to take an innovative approach to both the development and the application of engineering technology. Our academic staff – many of whom are acknowledged leaders in their fields – provide a stimulating learning environment that extends well beyond the lecture hall.
Many of our faculty members have attended WIPRO MISSION 10X programme which focuses on new and innovative teaching methodologies. Hence, it is a usual practice for us to engage and involve the classes with modern ICT technologies and through technical activities.
All our faculty members are exposed to industrial environments/needs by regularly equipping them by the way of attending Seminars, Workshops and Faculty Development programmes.
Their sound technical knowledge helps in guiding the students in recent advances in the broad areas of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
All are involved in many research activities.
Our Department has submitted a research project proposal in Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS) titled“Fuzzy Logic Based Water Contamination Alert System Using Wireless Sensor Network”.
Our Department has submitted a research project proposal inTamilNadu State Council for Science and Technology (TNSCST) titled “Intelligent Energy Saving System Based on Standby Power Reduction”.
Our Department has submitted a research project proposal inScience and Engineering Research Board (SERB) titled “Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Devices”.
All our faculty members have many national/international conference proceedings to their credit.
They have also published research papers in high impact factor journals.

INNOVATIVE PROJECTS:
1.Vision controlled hazard detection robot
•Hazard detection is the technique of finding potential threats is any specified
environment.keeping our environment as mines,here we emphasize on the threat
of explosion due to the expansion and leakage of gasses Frequently the gasses in
mines being carbon monoxide,methane,hydrogen and propane,we make use of a
suitable gas sensor that has good sensitivity to all the above specified gasses The
gas concentration levels are wireless relayed to the base station to where the robot
is controlled and displayed on the LABVIEW GUI.
•vision control means use of camera toi effectively find the location of gas leakage.
This in combination with the gas sensors can effectively spot the location of
leakage by the concentration of leakage displayed in the LABVIEW GUI.The
vision control is accomplished by means of a wireless camera placed at the robot.
The video s relayed into the base station wirelessly thus enabling control from a
distant location.A stepper motor is also used to make the camera more dynamic so
that if can have a 360c view around its axis.
•The communication between the base station and the robot is achieved via zigbee
technology.Zigbee technology enables effective communication in terms of speed,
range and efficiency.Thus interfacing a gas sensor and a wireless camera into a
robot using a PIC microcontroller we provide a new and dynamic way of both
surveillance and hazard detection.
