1961
The Department of Electrical Engineering came into existence, with the objective to produce technical man power of high quality and promote research and development activity. With a modest beginning of introducing four year BE degree course in 1961,
1970-71
A post graduate programme in Electrical Machine / Power System / Control System was introduced..
1976-77
Considering the under- graduate education as a vital and important component of its activities, the department started a BE degree programme in Computer Science for the first time in the country which was later followed by other Colleges / Institutes.
1982-83
Envisioning the growth of Electronics and the consequent technical man power requirement, a BE (Electronics) course was introduced. .
1986
With the three under graduate programmes, a Master’s Course in Computer Application (MCA) and several M. Tech. programmes (regular and part time) were introduced.
1996
The Department of Electrical Engineering Department was split into three full fledged departments viz. Department of Electrical Engineering, Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering and the Department of Computer Science & Engineering in order to have better management and development of respective disciplines.
Current
- The Department offers courses leading to a Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering and Post Graduate (M. Tech.) programs in (i) Power Electronics and Drives (ii) Control & Instrumentation and iii) Power System, along with part-time Master of Technology course in these disciplines.
- The Department also offers Ph.D. programmes in these areas.
- The Department has qualified and experienced faculty in all the related fields of Electrical Engineering viz. Electrical Power System, Electrical Machines, Control, Instrumentation, Microprocessors, Power Electronics and Digital Signal Processing.
- The theoretical knowledge is further supplemented by well equipped eight number of laboratories namely (i) Electrical Machine Lab (ii) Power System Lab (iii) High Voltage Lab (iv) Power Electronics & Drives Lab (v) Simulation Lab (vi) Measurement & Instrumentation Lab (vii) Virtual Instrumentation Lab and (viii) Control Systems Lab.
- There is widespread interaction between the Electrical Engineering Department and various other departments like Electronics Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering in the field of teaching and research.
