About the Department

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering was established in the year 2008 as one of the major departments of the Don Bosco College of Engineering and Technology under Assam Don Bosco University. The department started undergraduate program with AICTE approved four year B.Tech Degree course in the year 2008 with an intake of 60. The PhD programme has been offered by the department since 2011 and is equipped with a good number of researchers working under experienced supervisors/guides from the fields of Power Systems, Optoelectronics, Microwave Remote Sensing, Embedded Systems and Optimization. Department also started offering 2-year Master of Technology programme in 2014.

The department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) of School of Technology (formerly Don Bosco College of Engineering and Technology), Assam Don Bosco University has been established with the firm commitment of developing and producing quality Electrical and Electronics Engineers with high-technical knowledge and good practical basis, combined with leadership skills and decision-making capabilities. The curriculum of the department of electrical and electronics engineering is therefore designed to impart the students consummate knowledge and skills for careers in wide range of industries. The board of studies within the department is actively functioning in reforming syllabus from time to time in line with the modern trends in the Engineering education.

Our curriculum clubbed with in-campus exercises are designed keeping in mind the industrial and research needs – which open innumerable avenues for our ever-enthusiastic students. Students have implemented innovative ideas, presented technical papers at national-level symposiums and conferences, and brought laurels. The department has been taking active part in organising various national and regional level seminars, conferences and workshops under the banner of the university.

The faculty members have been taking part in various short-term courses and faculty development/enrichment programmes regularly.

Innovations

Few innovations under department of EEE are:

• Development of Energy Generation from Bio-Wastes
• Development of Systems for Efficient and Optimum Energy usage
• Development of Electrical Power System monitoring system

Development of Energy Generation from Bio-Wastes:

Three students of the department- Rishav Saha Choudhury, Sikder Arif Mohammad and Eldine Ch. Marak developed a successful model of Energy Generation from Cow-Dung (shown in the picture below). The product is named as Cow-Dung Battery, mainly based on generating electric energy from animal waste (Cow-dung). When series-connected, discharged batteries are placed in a basin containing some cow dung and saltwater, when exposed to sunlight, the batteries get re-charged. They can then be used in place of batteries as required in the circuits. The project is identified to have great relevance in rural setup considering its low cost, by Assam Science Technology and Environment Council (ASTEC).

Development of Systems for Efficient and Optimum Energy usage:

Students from the department- Rishav Saha Choudhury and his group also developed a circuit for Automated switching of home appliances, which can be operated using a mobile-based application (shown in the picture below). These systems can be used to control the operation of electrical appliances in an optimal manner so that energy can be saved.

Development of Electrical Power System Monitoring System:

A group of final year students from the department under the leadership of Rishav Saha Choudhury developed an Electrical Circuit integrated with a mobile application that is developed for monitoring substation power supplies in real-time. The mobile-based monitoring makes the optimum scheduling of power supply possible through rapid decision making by the power supply utility. A model of the circuit developed is shown in the following figure.
