Organizing Department

 

The Department of Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering & Technology of Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi is one of the premier electrical engineering education and research departments of the Country and is also one of the SAP-UGC as well as a FIST supported departments. Since its inception in 1985 along with the inception of Faculty of Engineering & Technology of Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, it has grown leaps and bounds and continuously striving for excellence.

Apart from offering regular four-year under graduate programmes, i.e. B. Tech. in Electrical Engineering, the department has been serving to the specialised needs of the industry by running two regular M. Tech. Programs. One in Electrical Power Systems Management (EPSM) which started in 2003-04 and another in Control and Instrumentation Systems (CIS) which started in 2012. The Department of Electrical Engineering has been successfully achieving its research endeavours through its very well structured and disciplined Ph. D. programme in several major areas, i.e. Power Systems; Power Electronics and Electrical Machines; Control and Instrumentation; Computer Science & Technology; Electronics & Communication, and Sensing Technology. Admission of the students in each programme is highly competitive and is through Joint Entrance Examination conducted by NTA for B.Tech. and national level entrance exam for M.Tech. as well as Ph.D.

The faculty members at Department of Electrical Engineering lead by examples and are highly motivated to achieve excellence in research and development and publish their research in internationally peer reviewed journals including IEEE Trans. of Industrial Electronics, IEEE Trans. of Electron Devices, IEEE Trans. of Instrumentation and Measurement, IEEE Sensors, etc, patenting their research findings, and bringing generous research grants from Govt. research funding agencies like DRDO, DST, AICTE, MHRD, MNRE, UGC, CPRI Bangalore, DAE, BARC etc. to upgrade the research facilities at the department and to provide innovative solutions to engineering problems. Many faculty members have received prestigious national and international awards for their contributions including best performing Associate Editor of IEEE Sensors Journal and IEEE Trans. Instrumentation and Measurement. Some of the faculty members are the board members (Associate editor, Topical Editor, Guest editor) of the prestigious SCI Journals. The Department is also one of the recognized QIP centre under the engineering discipline. Number of Ph.Ds awarded under various research areas from the department till date is more than 150. The h-index of the Department is 57.
