Electrical and Electronics Engineering

About Department

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering was established in 2007 and is affiliated with Anna University in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The department provides a B.E. Electrical and Electronics Engineering undergraduate degree, a M.E. Power Electronics and Drives postgraduate programme, and a Ph.D programme in Electrical Engineering. This deepens the students' understanding of engineering concepts and also provides them with an exposure to the kind of work that is expected from the students in Industry. The department has also organised many guest lecturers with eminent people from diversified and reputed organisations like NTPC, Power Grid, Steel Plant, CPRI, NSTL, ABB, etc. as well as from premier institutions like IISc, IITs and NITs to enrich its students and faculty with contemporary developments in the field. Apart from teaching, every faculty member is involved in publishing and presenting papers in the National and International journals and conferences.
