Department of Electrical Engineering – MSIT
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology (MSIT), established in 2002, has emerged as a center of academic excellence, fostering innovation and industry-oriented learning. It offers a comprehensive four-year undergraduate (B.Tech) program that is meticulously designed to provide students with a strong foundation in electrical engineering while integrating advanced technical knowledge and hands-on experience. The department is deeply committed to the principles of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), and its teaching methodologies are continuously evolving to meet the demands of a fast-changing technological landscape. Faculty members, comprising experienced and dedicated educators, play a pivotal role in guiding students through both academic and professional development. Supported by skilled technical assistants and laboratory staff, students benefit from practical, real-world training that complements theoretical instruction.
A vibrant and motivated team of faculties contributes to the department’s dynamic learning environment. Students are regularly encouraged to engage in research initiatives, participate in national and international technical competitions, and collaborate on industry-based projects. In order to ensure that graduates are equipped with the tools necessary for modern engineering practices, the department emphasizes training in advanced software and simulation platforms. Among these are MATLAB, which is used extensively for signal processing, control systems, power electronics, electric drive and data analysis; ETAP, a vital tool for power system analysis and electrical network simulations; and PLC programming, which is crucial for industrial automation and process control. Additional simulation tools are also employed to provide practical exposure in areas such as circuit design, power electronics, and control systems.
The department maintains a strong emphasis on industry collaboration, which serves to align academic instruction with real-world practices. Industrial visits are a regular feature, providing students with valuable exposure to operational power plants, automation facilities, and manufacturing units. Expert lectures and workshops, conducted by professionals and researchers from the field, further enhance the learning experience. Moreover, students are offered internships and training opportunities with leading companies, allowing them to gain hands-on industry experience and build a strong professional network.
Through its focus on technical excellence, practical training, and industry engagement, the Department of Electrical Engineering at MSIT prepares students to become competent, innovative, and responsible engineers. The department’s state-of-the-art laboratories, research-driven curriculum, and holistic educational approach empower students with the analytical skills and problem-solving abilities necessary to thrive in a wide range of careers in electrical engineering, from power systems and automation to electronics and emerging technologies.
