e-Newsletter-September 2026

 HOD Corner

The month of September 2026 has been a vibrant and enriching period for the Department of Electrical Engineering at K. K. Wagh Institute of Engineering Education and Research, Nashik. This edition of our newsletter captures the spirit of learning, innovation, achievement, and collaboration that continues to shape our departmental journey.

From expert lectures and industrial visits to internship progress reviews, alumni interactions, and student competitions, our activities have consistently focused on bridging the gap between academic knowledge and real-world engineering practices. The achievements of our students and faculty in academics, research, innovation, and professional engagement reflect our collective commitment to excellence. Equally encouraging are the initiatives that strengthen the bond between students, parents, faculty, alumni, and industry.

This edition also highlights the dedication of our faculty members, the enthusiasm of our students, and the importance of continuous learning beyond the classroom. The student article on smart transformer condition monitoring further demonstrates how fundamental engineering concepts can be connected with emerging technologies to address real-world challenges.

As we continue our journey towards developing competent, innovative, and socially responsible engineers, I sincerely appreciate the contributions of our faculty, students, alumni, and industry partners. I also extend my gratitude to the newsletter editorial team for documenting and sharing these accomplishments.

Let us continue to learn, innovate, collaborate, and inspire!
