M.Tech. (FT) – 2 years; PT – 3 years

Programme Outcomes

  • Scholarship and Knowledge: The courses expose students to a deep understanding of system transmission and generation the power.
  • Critical Thinking: the course involves understanding the physical issues in power system following by engineering approximation leading to a system.
  • Problem Solving: the course involves mathematical modelling of system events including transmission, distribution, generation and relays.
  • Research Skills: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
  • Usage of Modern Tools: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations..
  • Multidisciplinary Work: As a part of the mini project, major project or internship the student is exposed to interfacing for communications with real world sensors, transmission of speech and complex images from cameras all of which require multidisciplinary work.
  • Project management and finance: As a part mini and major project the student learns to draw up list of tasks and time lines for those tasks an essential ingredient in project management. Further in the projects the student learns the value of simulation and emulation, thereby understanding that a cost effective hardware realization is possible only through simulations.

This ethical practice is built at this stage.
  • Individual and teamwork: In the individual lab assignments, mini project and major project tasks the student is exposed to thought provoking issues in power system practice that need association of theoretical learning with real issues in a communication environment.
  • Communication: As a part of progress reports on mini and major projects the student is expected to develop his skills in written and oral presentation of the work that he has accomplished.
  • Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
