Project Description

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering typically deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It also deals with many of the real problems facing our world today such as electric power transmission and electrical machines. This field deals with every aspect of handling information from sensing and acquisition through communications, networking, switching, processing and storage. The Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering at KCNIT was established in 2002. The main objective of the department is to offer value-added educational experience through quality instruction that prepares graduates for a range of career opportunities in today’s world. The department envisages moulding graduates to become experts in their chosen fields by encouraging them to become members of professional societies and broaden their knowledge. Department also focuses on the graduates to practice professional consistency with a sense of responsibility and the promotion of social justice, it also ensures that all the final year students do live projects in industries and present the technical material orally and in writing.

The Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering at KCNIT started it’s Undergraduate program of Bachelor in Technology in the year 2002. The annual intake of B. Tech program Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EN) is 60. This program is designed to meet the needs of Electrical Power Generation, Power Transmission and Distribution, Electrical Power Utilization, Modern Control Theory, Electrical CAD, High Voltage Engineering, Circuits, Machines, Drives etc. The department is well equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories with excellent computational facilities. The lab facilities and the infrastructure are regularly upgraded and developed and are well maintained by the Campus and the corporate world. Some of the laboratories are Electrical Machines Laboratory, Power Electronics Laboratory, Electrical Measurement Laboratory, Electrical Workshop, Control system laboratory & Simulation Laboratory etc. Our students have many opportunities to go on industrial visits, shadow employers at the workplace, and undergo summer training at premier companies in the electrical industry such as HAL, BHEL and NTPC. Graduates in Electrical and Electronics Engineering get an opportunity to work in core electrical companies in the field of design, manufacturing, maintenance, electronics industries or allied fields and software industries. Graduates can pursue higher education in the field of electrical, electronics, computers and management.

Our well educated and highly talented faculty members encompass a wide knowledge of sub-disciplines of Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Associations with faculty members from inter- disciplines, both within and outside the campus, are in vogue. The activities of the department include fundamental research, sponsored and consultancy projects, and are carried out with active participation of the students, faculty and corporate engineers. It also endeavours to enhance and advance the knowledge and skills of the Electrical & Electronics faculty in their fields of expertise by encouraging them to participate in seminars, workshops, and conferences.

The department aims to become the front runner in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute by creating globally competent electrical and electronics engineers, innovators, researchers and entrepreneurs and thereby contributing value to the knowledge-based society and economy.
