Electrical Engineering Department:

Electrical Engineering Department of the institute, is one of the reputed departments in the state of Maharashtra. The department is permanently affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). It runs UG, PG (Electrical Power Systems) and Ph.D. programs. UG program started in 1991 and is accredited 4 times by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) with recent accreditation valid till year 2025. PG program introduced in 2000 is also accredited by NBA once. The department also has a Ph.D. research center since 2005. The department is well equipped with fully functional laboratories in the domain of Power Systems, Power Electronics Drives and Control, Microcontroller, PLC and SCADA, Switchgear & Protection, Renewable Energy System etc. In addition to these, department also has established state of the art laboratories in collaboration with industries and academic institutions to cater needs for advanced research. These include Dr. M. Kattakkar Post Graduate Research lab,  e-Yantra Embedded Robotics lab,  Texas Instrument Drives and Control lab, Electrical Vehicle Testing lab developed under MODROBs under AICTE research grants.

Department has a team of well qualified, highly experienced and dedicated faculty members. More than 50% of the faculty members are with Ph.D. qualification. Many faculty members hold key positions at various bodies of SPPU, contributing in curriculum design and development. Faculty members are office bearers of PES-IAS Chapter of IEEE Pune Section and are actively involved in organizing technical activities at national and international level. The department has a rich culture of research and faculty members regularly publish research papers at reputed international platforms. They are involved in research activities sponsored by renowned research organizations like DRDO, DST, AICTE etc.  Faculty is also involved in consultancy and testing assignments with the industries. The faculty members are well connected with industries and regularly invited as experts for delivering sessions. The department has research collaborations and MoUs with reputed industries like MSEDCL, Dassault Systems, SeeGreen energy etc. Atlas Copco has recognized the department of Electrical Engineering by selecting it for award of Kruttika scholarship to female topper from the department offering a scholarship of RS. 50,000/- alongwith the job offer.

Multi talented students is one of the biggest strength of the department. Many students are rank holders in university examinations. They acquire several skills through sponsored projects and internships at renowned industries. They participate in various technical and non-technical competitions and won prizes. As its outcome, there is a blend of students recruitment in the industry and higher education in prestigious institution in India and abroad. The department has formed the “Electrical Engineering Students’ Association” (EESA) which is managed by the students and guided by the staff members. It organizes various co-curricular, extra-curricular and social activities such as, industrial visits, guest lectures, technical competitions, exhibition, blood donation camp etc. EESA publishes its annual magazine ‘OHM’ which consists of technical and non-technical articles and artwork by students. It also manages its own library. Recently the association has celebrated its Silver Jubilee.  The department has a strong bond with the alumni who are excelling in varied fields. They contribute to the department through projects, trainings, guest lectures etc. The Department thus impart quality education for developing Electrical Engineers to cater the needs of society and mankind through outcome based education, ethical practices in teaching-learning and sustained endeavors to groom and nurture students.
