e-Newsletter-August 2026

 

HOD Corner

It gives me immense pleasure to present the August 2026 edition of the Electrical Engineering Department e-Newsletter. This month has been marked by a vibrant blend of academic learning, industry exposure, student achievements, research accomplishments, and meaningful alumni engagement.

Our expert lectures on industry readiness, career opportunities in Japan, and control panel design provided students with valuable insights beyond the classroom and helped them understand the expectations of the professional world. The industrial visits and regular internship progress reviews further strengthened our focus on experiential learning and industry–academia interaction.

I am particularly pleased to see the continued support of our alumni. The Silver Jubilee Alumni Scholarship instituted by the 2001 batch is a wonderful example of how our alumni can contribute to the growth and success of the next generation of engineers. Such initiatives strengthen the enduring bond between the department and its alumni.

The achievements of our students and faculty, including placements, research publications, and alumni interactions, are a reflection of our collective commitment to continuous learning and excellence. I also appreciate the efforts of our faculty members, students, and the newsletter team in documenting and sharing these activities.

As we move forward, our endeavor will remain to create an environment where students learn by doing, connect with industry, pursue innovation, and grow with confidence. I hope this newsletter provides a glimpse of the enthusiasm, efforts, and achievements of our Electrical Engineering family.
