Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity works in order to use the knowledge for engineering applications. Electrical engineers defined the twentieth century with technologies that transformed society. They gave us universal electric power, telecommunications, radio, and television. Today, we have access to electronic surveillance, medical imaging, computers, and the internet. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of tasks including designing circuits for smartphones and computers, developing power systems for buildings and cities, connecting society with wireless communication networks and maintaining modern civilization. Department of Electrical Engineering has been established with an intake of 30 seats. The Department offers undergraduate discipline of Electrical Engineering with the thrust areas of the Department being Power Systems, Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, Electrical Drives, High Voltage Engineering, Control systems, Instrumentation, Hybrid Electric Vehicles, and Renewable sources of Energy.
