Techno Main Salt Lake’s Department of Electrical Engineering was founded in 2001–2002 and is a shining example of academic achievement, creativity, and practical learning. The department provides a thorough curriculum that encompasses undergraduate, graduate, and diploma programs in Electrical Engineering and is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA). The number of students enrolled in the undergraduate program has increased from 60 to 180 over time. A group of very skilled faculty members and technical assistants lead the department and provide a wealth of knowledge from their backgrounds in academia, industry, and research. In addition to teaching, these faculty members make substantial contributions to international peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Learners benefit much from their experience as many of them have honorary posts in famous institutions and work as expert reviewers for recognised technical journals. ​
Department is known for its novel projects, which include a full schedule of events aimed at improving students’ technical and practical expertise. Eccentron 6.0, a two-day technical extravaganza happening in April 2024, is one of the trademark events. This celebration of invention, creativity, and competitiveness is being held in association with the IET Kolkata Local Network and is being supported by the TMSL on-campus IET Student Chapter. It provides a venue for students to demonstrate their practical abilities in a variety of contexts, such as model-making competitions and circuit design. Students can display hardware models in the Tech Craft Challenge that showcase their technical proficiency, and in the Circuit Conclave, competitors must design and implement original circuit solutions that promote critical thinking and teamwork and critical thinking.
Apart from technical events, Eccentron 6.0 include intellectual and artistic competitions such as Argue Arena, a debating tournament that enhances students’ analytical and communication skills, and The Posterity Project, where students make visually appealing technical posters. In addition, there will be two gaming competitions throughout the event: Gaming Gambit and Photo Finesse, where players may show off their strategic skills in eFootball and BGMI. In addition to testing the limits of technical expertise, these activities foster in pupils a feeling of belonging, cooperation, and healthy competitiveness.
Through frequent conferences and workshops like “Building the Future: Primarily Hands-on AI Workshop,” which is sponsored by the IET (UK) Kolkata Network and takes place from August to September 2024. In order to explore developments in energy systems, the department also held the 6th International Conference on Energy Systems, Drives, and Automation (ESDA-2023), which brought together specialists from academia and business.
In terms of infrastructure, the department boasts advance laboratories that provide students with practical exposure to various aspects of electrical engineering. These include the Basic Electrical Engineering Lab, Circuit Theory Lab, Electrical Machine Lab, Power System Lab, and more. The Advanced Simulation Lab is particularly noteworthy for its advanced software, allowing students to engage in high-level simulations that mirror real-world engineering challenges.
Techno Main Salt Lake’s Electrical Engineering program combines rigorous academics with industry relevance, equipping students for today’s fast-paced tech world. Through Eccentron, workshops, and conferences, students gain practical experience and refine essential skills. Supported by expert instructors and advanced facilities, the program fosters both engineering expertise and leadership, preparing graduates to meet future technological challenges with innovation.
