ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering
came into existence in the year 1992-1993 as a key entity of SRM
Engineering College under the affiliation of University of Madras.
Since then there has been a consistent development in all spheres
including infrastructure facilities, staff development and student
development. The Programmed offered by the department under
the University of Madras were brought under the ambit of Anna
University from the year 2002.In addition to this the department
started offering postgraduate program M.E ( Power electronics
and drives) from 2002 -2003 under Anna University. From 2003-
2004 the department started functioning under SRM institute of
science and technology (Deemed University) and in the year 2004-
2005 department added one more post graduate program (M.
Tech Power systems) under its ambit. The department now offers
B. Tech (Electrical and Electronics Engineering), M. Tech - Power
electronics and drives, M.Tech - Power systems and Ph.D.
Programme.
