The Department of Electrical Engineering started functioning in the 1960's with an intake of 20 students. This was later increased to 60 for FULL TIME COURSE and 50 for four year part-time course. Electrical Engineers are working today in all areas of our modern information society. Buzzwords such as the internet and the cellular phone, communication and navigation satellites,high performance computers, power plants and high voltage networks, renewable energy and robotics- in all these fields research, development and production innovation was strongly influenced by electrical engineers in responsible positions. Employment perspectives are excellent as not only in Kerala , but also across the whole of India . From the production of power in power plants and the distribution in high power networks to the customer with his PC in his house hold or office, it is electrical engineering that influences our daily life in mostly pleasant ways. Electrical Engineering thus is a very broad field, ranging from all aspects of information processing, power production and power distribution. The main areas are Electrical Machines, Electrical Power Generation, transmission and distribution, Electronics (including micro, opt and power electronics), communication technology, Microprocessors , Power systems, Real Time Systems, Neural Networks and Fuzzy systems etc. The curriculum of Dept. Of Electrical Engineering, is gingerly designed to provide diploma students, consummate knowledge and skills required for a successful career in the field of Electrical Engineering. The course is at par with changing technology and enables the students to easily manage to multifarious environmental teams.
The courses for the Diploma program in Electrical Engineering is divided into three years with 5-6 theories and 3-4 practicals in each year. The courses range from Electrical Power to Computer Aided Drafting, Analog and digital Electronics to PLC, Electrical fundamentals to Electrical machines etc. Along with technical courses, Management Principles and Cooperate Laws are also taught to students to acquaint them to the industrial principles. Throughout the three-year program, students are encouraged to use their creativity and problem solving skills to explore and think about the unique problems in the world of electrical engineering. Furthermore, students discuss some of the ethical dilemmas that are associated with engineering in general, and how these problems relate to our Social commitment. The Electrical Engineering concentration culminates in the Final Year. Students are given a wide degree of freedom to investigate, design, and build a project of their choice. The course Major Project Design Course allows students to apply their newly acquired technical skills to a full year design project. The Dept. gives its full support to the students so that they turn out to be the best engineers with flying colors in their lives.
