About
The fields of electrical engineering deals with study of electrical machines, power generation, transmission and distribution.
Department of Electrical Engineering, established in 2013 focuses on imparting knowledge to undergraduate, postgraduate, and academic research (Doctoral) students. The Department seeks to mould the technocrats of tomorrow and equip them to meet emerging global challenges. A student-centric approach to learning is adopted to deliver an immersive education that addresses the contemporary needs of society and industry.
The Department is led by faculty members and staff who bring years of academic and industrial experience to the table. Every student is carefully mentored and the student-teacher ratios outlined by the AICTE are strictly adhered. The highly qualified faculty members also ensure that students who require additional attention are supported with special training.
In a bid to familiarise students about the working of the industry, the Department actively forges collaborations and partnerships with industry bodies and organisations. These help bridge the gap between academia and industry, and pave the way for future research and development opportunities. Annual industrial visits are also organised for the benefit of students. Additionally, the Department’s MoUs with foreign universities give students the opportunity to participate in the 3+1+1 program by which students can opt to study abroad after three years of study at RUAS.
The Department emphasizes research and innovation in electrical engineering, encouraging faculty members and students to focus on modelling, simulation, design, control of electrical, power electronics systems and perform computational analysis of electrical subsystems in various domains. Students are ensured of a rich college experience with regular seminars, workshops, conferences, athletic meets, and events like Innovation Challenge and Hackathon.
The infrastructure and facilities available also support the Department’s mission of delivering a quality engineering education. While all classrooms are equipped with audio-visual facilities like LCD and OHP. The Department also has advanced laboratories and research facilities like Dissectible Electrical Machines, Power Electronics experimental set-ups, computational laboratory, and High Voltage and Relay Laboratory for insulator testing under extreme environmental conditions and impulse voltage for recording flash voltages.
Highlights
Proctoral System
Under the Proctor System, every student is assigned a faculty member as a Proctor or a mentor.
These mentors offer guidance, support and encouragement to students, helping them as they progress along their academic journey. From the choice of electives to their academic performance, from attendance to meeting their credit requirements, students can approach these mentors with any and every query. Proctors also interact with parents/guardians and keep them updated on the progress of students. To ensure that they reap the benefits of the Proctoral System, students are advised to be in regular contact with their Proctors.
Innovation Centre
At the Innovation Centre, students team up with faculty members to bring their innovative ideas to life. Ideas are assessed based on their relevance to?—?and impact on?—?society. These are then translated into working projects that are entered in national and international competitions, and for registration as patents.
A Semester Abroad
We offer a program in which students can register a semester in the final year with a partner university, where students can do an internship or a project.
Open Electives
Students can choose from a multitude of open electives across faculties for credits. These are specially designed courses which offer a basic introduction for a holistic development.
Life at RUAS
- Our emphasis on applied brilliance translates into a campus that is buzzing with activity, whether in the form of guest lectures, seminars, workshops and industry events or student-organised activities and competitions.
- With 9 Faculties from different areas of study, multidisciplinary thinking is a way of life at RUAS.
- From a host of eateries and cafes to convenience stores and coffee vending machines, our campus has been designed and developed to ensure that the needs of every student are met.
- With access to RUAS’s numerous facilities, students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular sports and cultural events.
